Well, the issue is that it never actually was bought. As far as I'm concerned, Chris holds the highest buyout sale thus far.

@Shidara

True, you have a point, but I also found a few other links while searchin for that one that had been bought out for 3.5k or so.

Either way, grats on the sale, Chris.

@Bigfootm

But notice how he said "highest player made auction buyout" and that's it? He never said anything about whether or not it actually was bought.

I know Chris's item was bought... Idk what you're saying there. If you meant it was bought from the bids on it, I was talking about the buyout price.

So, I guess an Ecto drop beats shadow dragon wings.

58.3k ce?

58.3k ce...
Pffft, child's play!!!
I declined a 100k+ Ce offer for the Crest of Pawn.

Mind you, triple rolls were still 375k cr (or whatever it was) back then.

u know

i did the math,and its not all that outragous.

3% chance at shadow wings.
buy 100 pairs, you are likely to get 3 sets of shadow wings. or 1 every 33 purchases. @ 10 dollars each, with average luck, statistical probability says you will spend 330 dollars to get a set of shadow wings.

what was removed

I want to hear the funny post. :(

Oh yeah, btw saw cool wolver tail sell for 5.2 mil on ah too before they nerfed accessory rarity from boxes.

So cool wolver tail for 5.2k mil sellout was highest player made auction. Of course, i doubt the player was vain enough to take a screenshot of it so they could brag about it lol.

Guyinshinyarmour
Trololol.

@Pawn
5.2k mil? That's 5.2 BILLION. Holy crap. That has Chris' buyout beat over a thousand times over.

:p

Well...I don't exactly Remember what they said, but it went like this:

"I wonder what type of Accessory Chris would be like..."-???

"He'd be that one Accessory that doesn't Match anything at all."-Aemicus

I dunno, but it was WAAAAAAY Funnier when they said it.

After making the one ecto drop on the picture, once I got enough crowns Im pretty sure I made one with one last nine on it. But I think the record here is the highest final sale price rather than the stated buyout?

@ Ironskullkid: It was Jim-Dale for the first quote, and actually I said the second one... but eh, specifics.

That being said, I'm perfectly content with my Divine Dragon Wings. Sure they're not the expensive kind but they look the cleanest out of all the wings.

yeah i meant a cool wolvertail was bought out for 5.2mil (not 5.2k mil :D).

Man, why do kids fight over

Man, why do kids fight over my posts like I'm the second coming?

It's now beyond comical.

Also, wolver tails are obtained by spending TENS of THOUSANDS of energy opening lockboxes, whereas this was obtained for free with a $10 3500 energy pack.
This is like selling a rose regalia piece for 50k ce the day it comes out.
Lul.

--

Each single piece of Rose has a ~16.6% chance of being acquired in their respective packs. Shadow wing, however, have only a 3% chance. So it's ~5.5x less of a chance to get shadow wings that any certain Rose item. So we'll go ahead and slash the 50k price by a factor of 5.5. We get ~9k.

Was 9k ce the high mark for certain Rose items on release?

( Mind you, I'm not taking into consideration that Rose items were for the most part static, while wings are pretty active and even have special effects. That would further drive up the price if some guy desperately wanted them. )

Really, now...

You guys are going a bit overboard. All Chris did was point out he managed to get a 3.5M sale on his Shadow Dragon Wings, and all of you are acting as if he's going crazy with caps (like the above poster) and trying to rub it all over our faces.

No, he posted a picture of a very big sale, adding an approximate worth in crystal energy. Yeah, that is truly it. Take off your rage-filled Jelly-glasses, they are obscuring your sight, and look over the OP again. :|

I found it interesting that he managed to sell a pair for such an amount, and yes, I am impressed.
You guys need to stop digging for Chris' bad side if you want him to become a better person first and foremost. You guys do seriously not amuse me.

What did I do to Break the Rules?

My First post was "^Win.^-You Sir/ Madam, Win the internet."

Second was how I said that you Deleted me & 2 other people's(Aemicus & Retequizzle) Posts & how it was " The Funniest thing I've ever Heard.
"Wow...-Chris, yet Again, had a little sissy fit & Deleted the Most Funniest thing I've Read on the Forums Today..."

You really do get Upset by Posts that you don't like...

You must be new here, this is the Spiral Knights forums, a place where people get banned for having rights or opinions.

Highest auction I've ever seen was a fang of vog with 3 UVs going for around 7.5mil. I don't remember which UVs, though. Must have been some high-tier ones.
