If you WON the auction, we would like to know what your bid was.

You do not have to specify the trader's location, if you feel doing so would hurt your future chances.

If you won both rounds so far, please provide the most recent winning bid.

    Because of the limitations on poll options, I chose to only ask for the winning bids this time around, thus offering a wider range of amounts.

    If you're interested in the results, please leave a comment. Because there is no need for a discussion here, the poll will otherwise float into the nethers of the forum.

    I looked at the results, because I don't have a guild Trader.

    Interestingly that looks like what everyone else did too.
    People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

    Mind what people Do, not what they say, for actions betray a lie.

    Well, considering the ratio of non-guild leaders to guild leaders is going to be huge, of course that would be the biggest.

    Interesting that, if they're to be believed, one million and more is the winner. Wow, hard to think that's worth it in the long run--how much do these things take in???

    There is simply not a profitable return to warrant more than 200k gold bid on a guild. An individual guild member can possibly profit quite a bit but the small tax returned to guild is marginal.

    But, the guilds with vendors making more money for their members will have an easier time getting members.

    That said, if gold sellers want a monopoly, with 800 or so accounts and around 1 mill gp per vendor, they could pretty much lock down the market and charge whatever prices they want. Doubt even that would be worth it, though it would give them a pretty good monopoly. Of course, that would assume people would still buy at their prices... and wouldn't just simply resort to their own guilds.

    I suspect in that scenario people would exclusively use /z and their own guilds for buying and selling. Like they do now, actually. I wont go into exact numbers, but I saw public interest in guild traders plummetting really fast in the first two weeks.
