is... of what use is a premium auction other than the star before it in the bazaar?

Is this artisan skill good for anything more than that... ?

Thanks for the answer!

It's good for reducing your profit from a sale.

It puts your items at the top of the buyer's screen. It is easily undone by them if they put the readout in order by name or anything else. Premium sales are pretty useless, really.

Yeah the only thing i use it for is to but a star for my ad. I put the auction at 6000 so nobody can buy it & make it premium. Thats the only reason i ever use it, it's just not worth adding something as instant sale with premium. Its 100 credits to do that & if its a good item at a fair price it'll sell regardless.


So save your 80 credits unless you want to add an item for an ad like me. I do that because i hate the "AFK Spamming" & it does help people get to my shop.


PS. I would love to blow up those spam bots too

It is kind of useless, nobody really looks for a "premium auction" because it's usually more expensive anyway. I've only bought resources with the star next to it because it actually was... heck 0.2CPU for grinding steel, who could pass that up?

Yeah, I thought so too... I actually never tried that particular skill...

I never look for "premium" myself, only stats are important.... :=)
