This one within 3 minutes of a buyout being added a person who I presume is a friend bids buyout.

I know some people bid buyout on stuff they really need but this one says "IF I AM NOT ON MSG FROSTYBIRTH AND PAY HIM" and frostybirth is the person who bid the buyout, if frostybirth wanted the items in question and they are obviously friends due to the seller entrusting frostybirth to take the credits in his absence, surely the seller would have sold them to frostybirth in the first place without the need for an auction.

Seems like these two auctions hadn't made enough money for the respective sellers and therefor asked a friend to buyout on the item(s) both ending within a few days. I suspect that no transactions will be made and these will be relisted in the future.

I may be wrong in my observations and I apologise to the sellers if I am wrong. Just wanted to point this out. It caught my eye and seemed a tad strange.

I can assure you this was not the case for my auction. I believe I might even have a screenshot of Unbound paying me the credits.

I bought the books after I actually saw the post, and I had run out. Is it a problem to buy something from a friend?

If you read my initial post, I suspected that the buyout was made so that the seller could resell the item as it had not reached a value they were happy with. Nothing to do with buying from a friend, don't get your knickers in a twist.

The one between roach and unbound is just normal. Unbound is no where near a friend. Between unbound and frosty, I feel there's shared account info going back and forth. Frosts "gang" you could say, I feel they all share accounts. Feel to yell at me, I won't yell back. But some of them have told me of alt usage between some people. So I know for a fact so,e of them share accounts. Bain, I feel is sharing unbounds account. Before you scream at me, this is MY Assupmtion, it may not be true. The reason being is they always Skype and unbound jumped in the pvp records, amazingly after bains disappearance. Not to be mean, but unbound is awful at pvp, and I heard a bunch of people are pvp logging. So I know this isn't unbound. Some ISP definitely need to be checked. Just saying.
