Thread: Reports that Premium sales actually work

I have heard on the armorsmith board that the premium sales work, just not as described. The description reads something like " Allows you to put up highlighted sales at a higher price" or something, which leads me to believe that the item would actually be hghlighted a different color than other sales. This has never ever happened. However, the post i read today said it is working, just differently. What it actually does is simply keep your sales on the front page and listed first, above non premium sales.


Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Wondering why I ever believed anything I was told on these boards.

Yes this is how it works. Your premium sales stay on the first page. Not very effective if there are more than 100 premium sales for a given category. It really needs to be reworked,

It works for me, apparently by moving the item to the first page if possible. I have not seen it affect the sort order on the page.


However, it does improve sales on the items. I listed a number of powerups, some as premium some not. The premium sales were pricedat $1000, the others at $950. My cost differed by$48 with my skills, The premium salesgreatly exceeded the regular. There were less than a full page of items in the detail catagory, so I suspect the difference came from people on the "all" page or at least all Powerups.


I suspect it would be even more valuable for people selling items without good catagories on the bazaar like creatures or droids.

Good info thanks. This will help when power pushing discontinued items through the bazzar for clearance.

I don't use the All category because of the number of items that this brings up, but I can see that using premium might work out for those categories that get less viewing by themselves to draw people to them. Course if you sold all your hard to sell stuff through your local merchant it would sell even faster
