Paper on auction listed by me
« on: 22 Mar 2015, 04:11:32 »
The paper i have put on the market is just plain and simple paper... No pets on it. I put the paper up (costing anywhere from $50,000 down to $1000) believing that it was the snowman pet. After looking through some chest i found that i still had the token. Sorry for any inconveniences. From now on no bids will be refunded 4:11 Am

Thank you for posting this. Good thing for people to be aware of so they don't get screwed over.

To be blunt:

Not everyone checks the forum. Or if they did they may not have noticed it until after making the bid. Just because you make a post doesn't mean every person on the server is going to automatically know that you made the post or look at it before doing anything else.

So yeah, just because you said it doesn't mean the person who bidded saw it.

I would advise you to refund any money you receive from this Auction, as Twisted has said, relatively few people will have seen your message and I can safely assume that a player might get quite annoyed if they lose a big chunk of their money for something they didn't fully consent to purchase.

Many thanks

I would advise the same. This is why I recommended that you put this on the forums. As I knew people would be confused. Thinking they are getting a pet when it's just a piece of paper. While many don't see the forums, it doesn't hurt to try and make up for a mistake made. I also advise that next time you double check what you're putting in the auction to avoid something like this again.

I have a clarifying questions:

- was it just a piece of paper?  or was the item name altered to be called a pet?

If that is the case then definitely return the noobs, basically fraud in my mind.

If Not, the I don't understand why Vanillablock should return the noobs.  The item description clearly shows that its only a piece of paper, nothing more nothing less....Buyer beware.  I can't see how this is different then someone posting, for example, a wooden door for 1 million noobs, or over pricing items in the AH and people still buy them.

maybe the noobs should be returned, as a show of good faith, but then again maybe not. (just my opinion)

You can rename single items in anvils. I have no idea why you wouldn't be able to, why would they only allow you to rename only 2+ items?

I've renamed a pick, shovel, nametag, etc. You have to have the proper levels though or else it won't work on the server. Or you have to drop into 1.7 to do it. But it can absolutely be done.

As for buyer beware, if the paper was being sold at the same time as all the other papers a buyer could easily just get swept up in the rush that was going on, think it was a creeper pet, and go for it.

Even if the buyer should have looked at the item closer, not everyone may even know that it actually was a regular piece of paper, some people may not even realize that the papers were renamed or show up with a special name and therefore believed that even if it did say paper on the auction, when they received the item it would be the pet token.

So it's a matter of both ends here, depending on the situation.

As it was a few months ago with the snowmen pets, if you put them on the auction they just said "paper", only Foob has access to give them a description. With all the pets that had been put up for auction this past weekend, it would be easy to mistake a "paper" for a pet. Especially at the price in which they were listed. I was going to bid on one myself but decided to ask to see if it was actually a pet or a piece of paper since there were multiple papers put on the auction at once.

I still believe that you should refund the money as I'm almost positive someone got ripped off.

I hate to say, but I agree with you. I understand the confusion - people see all sorts of paper, and one is cheaper. They think they got a deal.. Without checking twice (and that's where it is easy to scam, while it's also stupid of that person to place a bid without checking what they're buying).

In vanilla's def. Foob's papers are showing in "gold" as official auction ones - they stand out.

That said, it's a bit "sketchy" to put paper up for that much, hoping people fall for it. Which is why I think it's not against the rules, to be honest, but it's very much so frowned upon. Morally correct to just return the money.
