It's a very long list.
you are talking about very rare weapons there. not saying that a feathered long bow is common, but it is not in the ranks of even imperfect dwarven axes, fellblades, stormbows, etc.
it's not that i care about the minuscle(sp?) difference in damage, it's that everyone else does. you know almost anyone looking to buy a weapon is thinking, I'm out for the best possible. this is hte way it's been for a while now. you see all kinds of imperfect weapons put up on this site, and most of them dont get a second look. argueing in this thread about it wont change that.
if your saying 10k is a good price, then whats wrong with 1k as a starting bid. 10% of your buyout is not a far stretch. and calling it "lowballing" after 1 person posts 1k and gives you a free bump is a far stretch as well
Edit: 20k b/o isnt unreasonable imo, i've spent more on worst weapons just because i was in good finacial standings and really didnt mind the little bit of extra money and having nearly the same preformance from the weapon but just having the stat look a bit worse.
