Buyout AH items at Bidprice :)

[coolkiller]

Ok, as follows :
You people know the Tuesday/Wednesday maintainance shutdown? You do? Good.. You can take advantage of it:

While the auctionhouse timers does NOT stop during the mantainance, but keeps running, you can get quite some good stuff out of this.. Lets say, you see a rare staff on AH, that you just want so bad. Theres maybe 3 of them on there, all of them have a bo price of like... 50 g?.. Ok, this doesnt make it any fun, so what if you logged on like 10 minutes before the maintainance shutdown, and took a look at the AH items.. for example, that staff could be at the AH, for 50g BO, and 40g Bid, or some jerk might have set it 10s bid, 55g bo.. right? Well, check the duration on em, if it says short, your in good luck, if its medium, you might get the item.

Heres what to do:
1) Go to the AH like 10 minutes before maintainance shutdown (usually about 5)
2) Find an item u like
3) Check if it has a short or medium durationperiod
4) Wait untill 2-3 minutes before maintainance shutdown
5) BID THE F**KER
6) And the server shuts down, noone can bid it or buy it out during maintainance.. Right?
7) Log on after maintainance, and if your lucky, the item is yours, "bought out at bid price"


Cheers

Its not bad, however I realize almost everybody on my main realm makes it long or very long unless they expect it to be sold quickly.

I did try this on a test realm when there was a one hour server shutdown. Almost worked, but didn't. You'll need to have a bit of luck to find a good item you like at short or medium time.

even if its long or very long theres still a chance you can get lucky, good one +rep

yhea i did this awhile back and got a nice axe for 5g instead of 30g, i also got smart and stoped putting things up on AH before the severs go down

basicly your trick is bidding before the maintanance, and expecting the auction to run out during the maintance, being the last person to bid means you'd no matter what get it. I guess this can be useful.
