Am I the only one who laughs when people post in the for sale forum a bid start price and a reserve price?
Start price 3bil
Reserve price 5bil or "hidden".

No dummy the start price IS the reserve price.
I also laugh whenever someone titles the thread FIRE SALE and then in the post they say "fair offer".
uuum...I clicked on the thread to buy your crap at a bargain not to pay jita prices in fountain.

While I'm on the topic, of all the stupid stuff that goes down in the for sale forum I think we need to start a public list of people who make offers they have no intention of fulfilling.

Having two different prices means people can still place bids below the reserve, if it then doesnt reach the reserve you can still choose to sell it to one of these lower bids and having a low start price will at least guarantee some people will put in low bids which keeps your topic bumped.

I certainly do not laugh when someone puts swearwords in their thread title. What it most certainly does make me do, is applying a lock to the thread in question. In this case, this one.

The Rules:
3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

7. Use of profanity is prohibited.

The use of profanity is prohibited on the EVE Online forums. This includes the partial masking of letters using numbers or alternate symbols, and any attempts at bypassing the profanity filter.
