    the marketplace would be full but hyperactive sectional mods remove threads and lock them before anyone gets a chance to put stuff to a decent price

    Agreed with Delecyt the same thing has happen to me many times over I still have 4 tracked pm's from 3 months ago that have yet to be read but the users have been on since the pm has sent and I have sent them other pm's about the original but they just don't care to answer.

    Gr hasn't died :P

    Have you guys reported those guys to any members of staff?

    Maybe i could suggest to the staff to have auctions open for 2 weeks rather than 1 week as it is now? Will see how that goes...

    What would make you guys start selling again? Any suggestions you guys have let me know in here and i will forward them to the other staff and see how that goes.

    no doesnt really bother me ill just sell it again or end up giving it out plus too much hassle for 600 credits

    and its not put me off selling kirbir its just bound to get peoples hopes down if they keep trying to sell stuff although if when a mod is closing a auction topic if he or she were to check that a transaction was made would be excellent though it could take up too much time

    Sellers don't bother with auctions hardly

    A lot of sellers, sell stuff over what they are even worth, so no one bothers with trying to buy it. Which in turns leaves the sellers not wanting to auction anymore due to lack of buyers.

    There's really not much you can do about the reduced flow of the market area. Seeing how you can't force anyone to sell and surely can't force anyone to buy either.

    I think it's the global recession. People are saving their money rather than investing.

    lol ikky :)

    I know its been heading this way for a long time now but surely there must be something we can do about it? I know theres alot of people wanting to buy but no-one selling.. sucks really. Im going to put this to the staff either way, see what happens.

    GR's Credits aren't worth anything, think of it in the long run.

    If you sell something you have x amount of credits, GR dies (Very soon), those x amount of credits arnt worth anything.

    Well, at least how i think of it.
