Warning slight rant ahead, but I also want to know other peoples opinions.
I love the auction function which has significantly helped me raise the money for my home. But I have a pet peeve about the constant under pricing. Sure I understand pricing you items cheap (which I'm personally guilty of time to time) so people buy it. One you don't want to keep loosing money on the fees and not selling anything and two it doesn't make the game fun if you are trying to price gouge everyone.
But seriously do people do the math when the post things. I was looking to just get rid of some Pleasing Amber (lol love that name btw) and noticed that there was about 10 - 15 auctions selling it for 260. Not bad, not good either, I can sell it to a vendor for 140. If I try to sell it in the action for 160 then there will be 16 currants in fees making me earn only 4 currents more than a vendor (which I get the money immediately). While updating the screen someone posted an action for 130 (10 currants less than what they would have gotten at a vendor plus they will have to "pay" 13 currants for the privilege to loose money).
Maybe the example above the person was being altruistic and just trying to help people out, but many of the prices (for gathered items) in the Auctions are starting to bottom out in a bad way now that skills are increasing and it is getting easier to harvest. On a plus note it seems that it is mostly affected by the gathered items and items which require crafting seem to be unaffected. And with the cheaper prices crafting is easier combined with the fact I don't have to save up for a house anymore.
See I said it was going to devolve into a rant.
edit: corrected the obvious misspelling of the title
