Has anyone tried putting anything on the Bazaar using a Premium sale? It costs 100 credits instead of the usual 20, and is supposed to "stand out" from the rest of the sales. I put a Carbine up for sale, but didn't notice any difference! Has anyone else?

Same here. This is actually a big from Beta. Premium sales did not work then either. I /bugged it again today. Wish this had been fixed before release.

Do the premium sales that you recieve in the Business line actually work? I've been contemplating trying it for some sales.


It says that the sale would be highlighted out from others', but I have never noticed any sales on the bazaar that were highlighted before. Maybe no one is using it, or perhaps I'm just missing something here?


Just curious, would be nice to know that I'm paying the extra $$$ to be sure that my sales aremore noticeable.


Thanks in advancefor any insight.

I tried to use them today. Looked up my stuff, looked like the other stuff I had posted. 80 credits down the drain. Oh well, I know not to do it again.

I do see sales and advertisements that are listed in different colors. Are those premium sales? If not, what are they?

The Premium Sales feature was just fixed with the patch, now when you view items at the bazzar, the very first column is labeled "Premium" There will be a * (Star) Character in this column if it is a Premium item.

The colors are done using hex codes. For example, using "\#FFD700\Myxxen's Muon Gold" will render a nice amber listing.

The new premium asterisk seems pointless. It doesn't move your listing to the top or do anything special to it, as far as I can tell.

To clarify my own post the codes are entered when you create the prototype or schematic for the item, not within the bazaar process itself.

It would make sense if premium stayed sticked on top, and colour display in bazaar was deactivated for non premium.

Gratdo,


Agreed. You should have to pay to keep colored text in the bazaar.

Is it just me or is this a waste of my time?
100 credits for a premium sale on a bazaar terminal.
I am pleased that a premium sale "column" has been added, but it has no function other than to display a star next to my premium items.

Premium items should be placed at the TOP of the bazaar listing, no matter what filter is chosen. For example, if 12 people have placed premium sales and a vendor user filters items by price, the first screen he/she sees is price sorted premium items followed by price sorted regular items.
