What if my Gold never sells?

This may seem to be a rather stupid question, but it has been something that I've been wondering for a while now.

Gold prices change constantly, going from 1.1m to 1.6m and almost everything in between. Since Auction House only displays the 10 cheapest listings, people constantly try and beat the lowest price by a minuscule amount. But nonetheless, it will bump shift the listings, since there will be a new "lowest price".

I've been wondering; What happens once your "sale" is no longer in the lowest 10? Suppose I decided to sell 100 Gold at 1.5m Coins each. But given an hour or two, people have decided to beat my price by 100 coins. Then someone else beats that one by 100. Sooner or later, my 1.5m Gold will no longer be on the listing. What happens at that point?

Theoretically, the full listing for Gold sellers could be infinite. So suppose Gold prices don't rise again for another few months. Then what? Would the more expensive Gold be stuck in Auction House indefinitely? It doesn't seem that there is an option to take your sale back, which only leaves the option of buying it back yourself, which seems rather pointless.

Is there some sort of Auction House reset that I am unaware of? Perhaps something that occurs weekly or between patches?

    Aha! Thank you very much.

    Well that was a rather long and drawn out post for such a simple solution. Funny how I've never even thought of clicking that button.

    if you don't withdraw your offer, eventually (after several days) it will time out and you get the coin/gold back automatically. (except for the 2% listing fee, that's always gone no matter what.)

    if you don't really need the coin or gold at the time, i'd recommend leaving the offer in there until it times out; you could get lucky with the prices in the days before the timeout. of course, if you have an immediate need for it, that's another matter.

    do as lenie said

    even though your offer is no longer in the 10 listed, it is still in the auction house, and when those offers are gone, yours will be there again
