Long time ago there was supposed to be MWO Black Market. Most likely nobody really knew what it would be all about and nobody really cared so whole thing never materialized. But for certain research let us assume that so called MWO Black Market is real and it serves just one thing - auctions. Let us assume that we do have some special mech/omnipod auction here and for this week it will be all famous Kit Fox Purifier. Single copy for highest bidder. The bids are placed in this topic, with C-Bills as currency. Auction ends in one week, counting from now on. Please be real and try to bid only C-Bill amounts you do own in game and you would spend in such situation. I know there are people with Billions saved, but this thread is actually for purpose of finding out how much would they be able to pay for something that is worth $10 in game store. And don't expect me to buy you one if you win.

Kit Fox Purifier
Starting bid - 10 000 000 C-Bills.

I will put up my Dragon Slayer for auction immediately. Probably won't fetch me much though.

[G4LV4TR0N]

While player to player transactions probably won't ever happen, selling own mechs to other people sounds nice. Anyhow original posting was about PGI making C-Bill auction for Kit Fox Purifier. One chance because there's only one single mech, not whole bunch of them. Let us assume that it's without own Mech Bay.

So we are having a theoretical auction to see what people would pay in the real wold auction?


Sounds logical.

Sounds logical.

You could sell mechs with one time camos for a bit more cbills. Cause you know, paying premium fluff to make your mech have prettier pixels and all....

Kind of like the Car auctions here in the USA, Barrett-Jackson I believe it's called. I watch it sometimes. Some cars on there...

wew, they get sold for a lot of cash at times, other times, not so much.

[justcallme A S H]

Oh no doubt you could.

My point was everyone will say "in theory" I would pay this. But in reality, it's usually quite different when the crunch comes and they need to pony up their own cbills.

[mod]Galvatron made very sure what he wants to achieve with this thread. It's about placing bids and that's it. Stay on topic now.[/mod]

I'll take it off your hands for two million C-Bills. Normally I'd charge more for removal, but in this case it's a public service so my rates are very reasonable
