Sur Auction (1.11b SC RRM/RWM)

[Bazhell]

I really want to make Chains of Honor or Fortitude and I figure my chances of finding a Ber or another Sur are very low, so in light of the results of the last three Sur auctions, I’ve decided to auction of my Sur to help with filling my grail and hopefully getting a Lo for Fortitude.

I’ve had this Sur rune for a long time and it is referenced in my trade profile. I don’t have any screen shots of when I found it and frankly I’m not even sure where I found it since I didn’t realize what I had until long after I’d dumped it into an Atma stash. (Thought it was a Sol:shocked: )

Rules:

I reserve the right to not trade with any individual.
I reserve the right not to trade it away, though given what the other Sur auctions have generated it will go.
I am going to set a tentative 1 week period. Most of the others didn’t last that long so if there comes a point with no more bids are coming in I will close it early.
I am interested in my missing grail items and runes Pul and up.

I am NOT interested in skillers or other charms and I have little interest in jewels. I will consider them, but they would only act as tie breakers on two similar bids.

I would have to say that you are clearly leading Naab. That's a very nice offer and I would be very happy with it. I said a week, but the way you guys jumped on this I've got to believe that this will be hard to beat. If I don't have another bid by monday evening EDT it is yours.

I can add more runes + another soj if that intrests you

[Bazhell]

Both Aman's and Naab's offers are great. The difference is whether I consider a Griz's redemption to be worth a Ist and 2 Guls. I'll think about that and as I said make a decision this evening.

[San]

The difference is whether I consider a Griz's redemption to be worth a Ist and 2 Guls.

Sorry but I just must say this. This doesn't quite hold true. MF is easy to get, and with some patience you can get that green Caduceus. Those runes on the other hand are found purely on luck, from playing a lot at players 8 or from Hellforges. And as such, I would consider one green Caduceus is perhaps worth a Gul. Maybe just a bit more.

Cow: What ever. People however tend to seek out to know what is the generally estimated value for items. I just hoped to clarify this, and there should be nothing wrong about that, or is there? Even HF rushes are about luck, and require a lot more hassling, ie. changing to older versions to be plausible.

Edit2:
I would say everything happens purely personal level. You might as well say you'll get Tyrael's Might as long as you slap on enough MF and kill hell baal repeatedly. On the other hand, getting 2x gul is a 5-6 hour job, stable and guaranteed.

Please don't try and twist my words like that. I was talking about time invested per finds. I will not go guessing how much time you'll need to invest to get Tyrael's. I however safely estimate, basing my estimation on many running results of experienced Pindle runners, that you will with good chances find a green Caduceus in less then 2000 runs. During this time, you will find much more items perhaps beside what you were exactly looking for.

HF rushes really do haze the value of runes. That is why I didn't say that the Griswold's Redemption woul barely be worth a Gul.

Runewords like Call to Arms, Heart of the Oak, Chaos and Exile, which are very popular these days, require the few runes which can be cubed quite easily from Guls. This in my oppinion raises their value quite a bit, regardless of HF rushes.

[The Cow King]

I would say everything happens purely personal level. You might as well say you'll get Tyrael's Might as long as you slap on enough MF and kill hell baal repeatedly. On the other hand, getting 2x gul is a 5-6 hour job, stable and guaranteed.

So I'd say it's up to Baz to decide, and probably the fact does he do HFR or not makes up that decision. Prices are ultimately always personal opinions. It all comes down to what you want and how much. What other might see as junk, another might value beyond limits.

[Bazhell]

Actually, I think both San and Cow King have valid points. The point I was making was over the differences in the bids and the differeces come down to 3 Guls versus a Griz redemption and an Ist. To be fair, Naab has also socketed the DW and DF with Facets making rare items even stronger.

I've decided to accept Aman offer for the following reason. I lose the cady and the facets on the DW and DF, but one of my goals was getting close to a Lo for Fortitude and I think Aman offer comes closest to that goal since I also have a Gul.

I've been playing this game since 2001 and in total the three highest runes I've found have been a Sur, a Vex and a Gul. I figure that with Aman offer I will probably have my fortitude in a couple of years versus a lot longer with Naab's.

Aman, I should know your email address, but I forget. send it to me and I'll send you the rune. It will probably be Wednesday morning before I can send it as I'm out of town and will be traveling all day tomorrow.

You wanna get closer to that Lo still? Set a price in runes for the DWeb and/or Astreon's (once you get your hands on them)...
I have a Vex & Gul that've been collecting dust waiting for someone to say "FT: DWeb or Astreon's. ISO: runes" (my next highest rune is an Um - I'd throw that in too, for both)... :grin:
