I recently found out that you're making a mistake by canceling/relisting offers and that whoever has oldest offer gets it.

I found out that you have to log in every 7 days otherwise offer is inactive? Well how come my accs that I havent logged into in years still managed to buy thousands of certain items such as willow comp bows?

Is there anything else that I should know? I'm currently trying to buy a bunch of max cash offers.

I seriously didn't know canceling offers and relisting them works against you and now I'm really upset, I thought I was helping items buy faster. I probably missed out on quite a lot of items cuz of this.

You can't change the past.

I assume your accounts stop buying after 7 days. They reactivate for 7 more each time you log into them.

What's neat is you can buy inactive sale offers. So, if someone logs in who was selling a santa before it hit max but then went inactive, you could put in some offer and have it buy.
I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity. :(

True story that I perhaps should not tell you:

I once put in max cash to buy a scythe, and it bought instantly (probably for just under max). This happened this year or late last. Scythe had been over max for quite a while.

How did it happen? I bought another person's inactive sale offer (older than 7 days but he had just logged back in, making it active again).

And another on my friend list had put in an offer only a couple hours prior. So, I got my purchase during the right time window. I resold for only a small profit. It wasn't too far over max at the time.

Such purchases are rare.

Oh wow, so that's how it works. I'm still confused over an acc that bought 100s of comb bows despite me not logging into it in a decade

But reguardless thanks for explaining this to me.

I hope my disk/wine/blood dye buys someday

There have been loads of changes to the mechanics of the GE since it was brought in. The 7-day limit on active offers was only brought in a few years ago (I’m not sure exactly when because I was on a RS break at the time).

So if you placed your offers 10 years ago, they might have had 5+ years of buying before going inactive.
