So title sais it all, you see people's alts like Mangybank or Lillyhead who are level 2 sitting AFK in stranglethorn, i dont know how its working,but i had a Twisted Chanters staff enchanted with 30 spell damage, that took me 1 day+ to farm, i add it to the Neutral (multiboxing, i admit it, so i can pass it to my alliance twink) and in that 1 second, the afk guy buys it (Lillyhead), i go to sleep sad as fuck, i wake up to see it on the horde auctionhouse for 70g under the name Orcarc (his main and profit maker), i sell all blues i have on bank to buy it back, going to transfer it to alliance again, and guess what, A NEW BOTTER (Mangybank) buys it insta, well, that was enough for me to quit the server, thanks for reading 1 year spent, my main is Lsdee, you must have seen me around

He got a point though, this sounds like its automated in some way which shouldn't be legal.

This baffles me... what baffles me more, is that you proceed to do the exact same thing right after..
Do you usually do the same thing over and over, expecting different results each time ?

I can't believe you actually bought it back from him LOL. Why would you do this again? That is always the risk of trying to pass items from faction to faction.

You posted x item for a price and it was purchased for the asking price. It might not be great, but that's why it was never against the rules either on retail (assuming no bots). If you want to do it safely, you should post it for the full price and be prepared to pay that on the other end.

http://realmplayers.com/CharacterViewer ... ayer=LsdeeThis is one year effort? Ok...
Btw. here is definition of insanity for you : doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. (in your case twice)
So my point, OP is dumb.
