Yomo Kimyata Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 One of my lowbies has been parking inf in bids on super packs that are under the 10mm buy in price. Much to my surprise, someone sold one back to the AH. I saved myself 1 inf! 5 Who run Bartertown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robotech_Master Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 You can park up to 2 billion in single bids on level 53 Hami-Os, you know...no need to mess around with 10 mil minus one Inf bids on Super Packs...

True, but if things go pear-shaped I'd rather own 200 Super Packs than one lvl 53 Hami-O. 1 1 Who run Bartertown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will ever own a Level 53 Hami-O. They literally can't exist in the game anymore, due to the way Hamidon Raid drops work. That's why people park excess cash on bids for them. Likewise, Discipline Inspirations (and their medium and large variations) and Consignment House/Black Market Transporter Inspirations have listings in the auction house, but the items themselves no longer exist in the game. Back on Live, people might have still had a few of those things floating around, left over from before they were removed from the game—but since Homecoming started with a wiped database, these items have never existed in the current game, so there is literally no chance one could randomly come to exist and fulfill an auctionhouse bid. (Unless a GM had some way to create one, I guess, but even if they did, I doubt they'd ever actually do something that antisocial.)

DSorrow Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) I park my inf on purple bids. Worst case scenario, I get cheap purples that I can use at some point in the future or flip right now for even more profit. Then again, with my net worth there isn't all that much to park as I don't really make an effort to earn more once I'm in the 3-4B zone.

Aren't all enhancements of the same type put into the same bucket regardless of level? So if someone puts up a level 2 Hami-O (*exaggeration*), and you bid on a Level 53 Hami-O and you win, you get it at Level 53? Or is that just for set IOs and nothing else?

For Hami-Os, bucketing caps at 50. Compare a level 53 HO listing to a level 50 one. If they were bucketed, they should have the same number of bids and the same price history. But you'll see a different number of bids and no price history at all for the level 53 one. If you liked what I had to say, please check out my City of Heroes guides!

Yomo Kimyata Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 WTF, I've now bought 30 of them? Who in the world would pay 10mm for one then turn around and sell it for a 1mm loss after fees? Much less 30? Nemesis? Is that you? 1 Who run Bartertown?

Sakai Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) I was thinking...can we not boost a Hami O 3 times to make a 53? Edited September 21, 2019 by Sakai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but am not taking the chance that someone more enterprising than me finds out! In other news, I moved my bids to Winter Packs. Feel free to sell them back to me now, Nemesis!

Derek Icelord Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Or, you know, those level 51, 52, or 53 set IOs... And seriously, there isn't any chance of 53 Hami-Os becoming a thing. That goes beyond paranoia. Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket? Check out the Unofficial Homecoming Wiki! Contributions welcome!
