odd?

Today, before an auction i had, i had 8 or so things on the ground... They were locked, and had someone i knew in RL test them and made sure they were. Then, when the auctions start, its all gone! did it disappear, or was it stolen? if it was stolen please give it back. If it was a glitch, can i get it back?

Thanks

MA

  • Perhaps you were standing near the items when your friend checked them? In that case, they would be locked but will unlock as soon as you walk away from them.

  • If I recall from what I heard in the trade channel, they were items in a tower placed in decorate mode.

  • Even in deco mode, items on the floor are NOT locked.

  • When you put an item up for auction, it disappears from wherever you have it. If it sells, you get currants. If you cancel or the auction expires (in 3 days), you get the item back.

  • Ah, Zany, I'd forgotten that!

    I kind of think all of this needs to be clearer (and unbuggy).

  • First of all, it was not at a real auction, Spock, it was my own auction that i held at my tower.

    Secondly, i was on the downstairs floor while my friend checked it.

    now that im more in-depth, can i get some more in-depth answers? *Good answers otherwise though!*

  • People have said that not everything you put down and have a friend test is necessarily safe just because one person can't pick it up. Some people have tested it, and the results varied a lot. One person couldn't pick up what they dropped while a different person did.

  • Meat Assassin? Was it stuff I left in your tower after building it? In that case anyone would be able to pick it up - I left them as gifts for you! Wine of the Dead, Get out of Hell Free Card etc

  • Arqabesque, it was after all that, i was having an auction. Maybe it was stolen from someone? i guess someones now blocked from my home street and me. Thank you i guess... *still lost about 50k in items*
    But i guess thats my fault
