Auction vs. Vendor?

When I see people selling things on auction for less than what a vendor would buy it for... am I missing something?

  • No I understand that, thought maybe there are auction achievements.

  • There are certain quests that require stuff to be sold through auction (one growing potatoes and tomatoes and auctioning them), so some sell them cheap just to get the quest done fast.  Other times people may not be aware of the sell to vendors feature or like Djoe said, maybe just people being nice :)

  • Auction is much more convenient as well. Especially if you're in an area like Ajaya Bliss that requires a key.

  • Really?  Which auctions are you looking at?  The ones I tend to see have items on auction for *more* than what a vendor sells them for e.g. butterfly egg for 499 when the vendor sells them for 400.  I mean, is anyone really that lazy that they would rather overpay than hop a couple of streets to the vendor?

  • @Joojoo -- Yes. I am that lazy. :3 At least, when I have the spare cash. Also, it's nice to support your fellow Glitchen by buying on auction rather just going for the vendors.

  • there are some that are less. the auction interface suggests a lowish price by default, some people go lower than that for whatever reason.
