Put a buyout price on your auction house posts

Yes I know the auction house in this game is horrendous. But I do browse it from time to time. Why doesn't anyone put a buyout price on their stuff? Chances are I am not going to need/want that thing you have up there in 5 days so I won't be bidding on it, and it will be back in your mailbox in 5 days. If you put a buyout on it, I might buy it and give you some AD. Yes, I probably will be wasting my money on an impulse buy, but you will profit from people like me.

    Probably because they're using the automated valuation - it places buyout on common or quest items, and none on less common ones.

    Personally I'd prefer to get the most I can, and there's nothing to stop you re-posting it in the AH once you're done with it.

    Also nothing to stop you only bidding on stuff with less than 5 days to run, either...

    I think within this day and age people want what they want and they want it now.

    Waiting 5 days for an in-game item? No thank you.

    In five days people could have leveled two characters to lvl 60 in this game...

    Let alone outgrew/found a replacement for the item you were selling, so yes please put a buyout people lol.

    Unless something has changed auction fees are set based on a % of the starting bid and or the buyout price. On cheap items you can lose money on a buyout fee pretty easily, so the better strategy is to set a low starting bid and hope that with-in those 5 days a bidding war starts. Level 60 stuff is likely to have buyouts on a count of their high prices and high profit margins.

    I personally don't put a buyout value on my posts because:
    A) I generally get more AD from auction-style posts.
    B) My auction shows first (or at least 'earlier'), because of the way the default sorting works.
