The store prices seem a little funny... I mean 68 minerals for a +5 avatar space, and 300 for a +10, and there are 4 +5's in there.. I can buy all four of the +5's for 272, getting double the space for less. Bug?

Thats nothing. I bought two Signature Enablers for -8 minerals, and yes, they payed me for it, I think.

LOL! DTBK actually paid for this!

yeah, same here.
I noticed this a while ago buy I can't buy because this is not my money it's SMCIII's :P

Anyway, I have PM + 75 for 171 and PM + 150 for 1087. I can buy all four PM + 75 for 684 and have +300 space, Which is doubled space for about half the money of a PM+150 :P

the same with avatar space and name change are 44 minerals for me right now :P they're worth 200

It looks like whoever designed it made it so that the market for items affect the prices. Except either the starting prices were set poorly or the code is poor so that things like that happen.

I'm curious how people keep seeming to be able to buy Colored Names when they don't have anything even resembling enough minerals, and then end up with negative minerals.

A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell."

You edit a post and fill it with text. You do this untill you end up with enough minerals. You then buy the item and erase all the text you editted.

Viola, you now have an item and negative minerals.

Wow, I never even thought of that one. Clearly, people have been up to that.

Some people are really sneeky. And there isn't really a way to stop it either. How can we stop somebody from editting a post in a topic that is 60 days old? It might have valuable information that they want to link.

Some forums have a feature that allows the mods to see previous versions of a post. And see recent edits in users profiles.

Hm, I guess that was the beauty of topics locking in the old days after a few weeks, things like that couldn't happen as easily.

Dude I'm going to have to get posting. I want a member title and it must say 'Just here for the pie'. :rolleyes:

Strange prices though, are they like, randomly generated by the brain of Moose?
