auction chests

[dgcook]

Well a couple nights ago I put a Duelist Dream in the auction chest in the wyrm on server 1. Then the next morning I went to go see the bid on it and it wasn't there. It definitely had not been 7 days yet it hadn't even been 24 hours. I went on all servers and checked both chests and nothing there. Just wondering if you could do anything about this.

Thanks, Dg

I had a weird problem with the Auction chest this morning:

I had been monitoring a Mini Book and had a high bid on it on server 115 of 80,800,800. Went to pick it up thus AM and it said the auction was over and someone else had won? I thought, "Weird, still says 80,800,800, but oh well, no bid deal, I'll just buy one from the sell chest somewhere." When I went to 114, I bought the book for 125 mil. Then when I went to 113, I got a message that I had defaulted on my bid (unknown to me, I had dropped my transfer account below the 80 mil for the Mini book). I was on as kaldair, character Ben D'Scout.
Pertinent facts:
1) The displayed bid on the book hadn't changed from last night when I checked it until this AM when I went to pick it up,
2) When I went to pick it up, I was told I didn't have the winning bid,
3) On another server i was told I had defaulted on the bid because I didn't have enough funds.

Even though I know this chest is tied to the CD key, I still suspect the issue is with differenct characters on the same CD key bidding on the same item, as I've had quite a few bids go through with no problems, but on those it was the same character bidding ...

That happens when you don't enter the needed info on the item.

The owner 'won' because you defaulted - you didn't have sufficient funds in your account. It won't notify you of default until the server you are on hasd been reset after the default.

Funky thanks for the information. As usual, you are spot on. I had 70 million on my character, and 55 million in my transfer account. I should have put it all in my transfer account - another lesson learned & my apologies to the Mini book owner ;<
