Counter-offer oddity: Multiple buckets from one in Depot
« on: November 01, 2007, 10:57:00 am »

I was buying out the human traders with a fair number of rock crafts...and a 3-bar quality Cedar bucket. I offered all my crafts, left the bins and the bucket alone. Asked for plenty but gave them a little profit, and hit trade to see what would happen.

It turns out that they liked it and understandably gave me a counter-offer for the bins to store the copious amounts of trinkets. As well, they wanted buckets. About six or seven of the same Cedar bucket, of which I had 1.

Either they are blind from greed or slightly buggy. It did not appear to inflate the profit they were given. The trade went through, however, so I'm not complaining.

Checked the depot for what they have and it seems only one bucket is listed, too.

So the same object was listed several times in the counteroffer list?

That happens to me too.  I'd get counteroffers that have 3-4 duplicates of one item, but of course there's only one item of that kind.  They accept this new offer with no complaint so I'm guessing it's just a display bug.

Aye, the same object was listed several times in the counteroffer list. No other changes.

I've seen multiples of object B, as well as one object C, from a single offer screen.

And of course, if you refuse and change it back to what it was before, sometimes they take it anyway.
