Quick question regarding the ship market/auction

Postby Cgoody » Wed Oct 24, 2018 4:39 am

Is there any way to remove a listing you put up if no one has bid on it? As cool as it would be if it happened, I've had the listing on there for well over a month with no luck, and at this point I'd rather keep the ship than auction it for what it I have it listed at.

Is there no way to remove an auction once it's made? I would get it if someone had bid on it, but since no one has and the time limit hasn't even started yet...

No way to remove once placed.

This was done to eliminate use of the market as a private safehouse for players who would try to protect their ships easily.

You have to be mindful of what you are selling on the market. If you are going to sell, it needs to be ships that people are going to want and at competitive prices.

I think there is a topic about making a change to how the ship market works.

Only solution is ask someone to buy it and then return him credits and commandeer ship back

I mean, in not too worried. I put it up for sale because it has lowest stats of my SOTL's. If I can't get it back so be it, but being stuck on the market perpetually seems a bit ridiculous especially since the price I have it listed for is fair in my mind (not trying to discuss this).

I think there should he an option to remove your auction if no one had bid on it in like 3 weeks. I get you don't want people using it as a safehouse, but at the same time it practically is a safe house for the ship now unintentionally. I just wanna throw it in a fleet or sell it maaaaan.

As for thinking about what you put on there, I did; it was a good idea a month ago... A month is a good bit of time relative to that decision

There were requests for allowing ships to be sold to shipwright after certain time but no luck in it
