I could see my own, as of a few weeks ago when I sold a Halo of Devilpuss, I looked it up and saw mine among the others. Yesterday is the first time I was not able to see my own.
But that's not really the problem here, it is that with mine and Morningstar's, other people cannot see them.
Anyone out there wondering why your good deals aren't getting any offers? Might want to have a friend search for the item and see if yours shows up at all. :-/

I just searched for something I have up for trade, and it showed up.
Thu Nov 04, 2004 11:04 pm
my trades have been "incognito" too, it's frustating.

Quiguki Beauty, you mean its just some trades or items, that one trade of yours won't show for other people but then maybe the next one will?
If that's the case then I'll just be quiet since I already made too big a deal of it.
Besides everyone will now just post about whether they can see their own or not. It is interesting that some can and some can't, but the real punch is when others can't see it and you can't sell anything.
Oh and anyone trying this out, note the trades of that item which were there before yours, so you'll know yours didn't get kicked off the bottom of the list.

I wonder if there are now different parts to the trading post now, like the shop wiz. I had that problem for awhile with Pink Job Coupons. There were some for sale, but mine would not show up! It really sucked. About half the times I reposted, it would not show up.

I've never been able to see my own trades, and I suspect others cant see my trades either since I never got any offers on them. I just use the auctions if I want to sell something expensive...

I *used to be able* to see my own trades, until about a month ago I think. Now anything I post, if I try to look for it with a item search, my lots won't show up. Like right now I have a Bri Codestone up. If I search for "Bri" with containing or "Bri Codestone" as identical it will not pull my trade up. If anyone cares to try to see if my trade comes up for them, my username is flumby1. I don't think it will tho.

Quiguki- It's there, I just checked it. I entered your username and clicked on trades, and I saw it.
EDIT: Hey, I went through the username on yours, too, Ladyredhat. Just now. I saw it! It is evidently there, but not showing up on the main trades thing? ... that's strange.

Yes, if you enter a username it's there, but not if you enter the item name. Try doing a search for Bri Codestone using the "contains my phrase" or "identical to my phrase" option, it won't pull my lot up.
Fri Nov 05, 2004 2:41 pm
Yes, I tried it, that is exactly what I am talking about!
I don't care if people can see my trades by searching my username, no one looking for that item is going to know my username or that I'm selling it. All it does is prove that my trade exists.
What I do care about is that I now can't sell anything for its normal TP value. This will need a giant discount to sell on the auctions. I dread the next time I need to upgrade my weapons, it could cost me several 100K to not use the TP. Maybe I'm exaggerating, I dont know...apparently this has been going on a long time for some people.
Has anyone else tried sending bug reports on this?

I have, LadyRedHat--but no reply as of yet.

I can see my own trade, even by searching for it by name... I think it's just because due to some weird habit of the TP, it doesn't show all the available results. I learned that when I was looking for a H4k helm, there were only 2-3 on the TP when I searched for it by name, but when I resorted to looking up random usernames one by one, I found far more results.
EDIT: Quiguki, there are too many Bri codestones on the TP so maybe that's why yours isn't showing - it is drowned under all the others. You should always use the wiz to sell buyable items anyway, it's easier that way.

Well I just put up another to test it, Kyrii Protectogoggles. And it shows up when searching by item, even when I do the search myself! 
So its just some items for me, I guess...
EDIT: cancelling and trying again, the PB is never going to show up. Looks like its just flaky for me, same as for MorningStar.
off-topic: I love spooky Neo stuff. I was tempted to use this PB on my Snowbunny, but having seen Sluggy Freelance (one of the 1st ever web comics) I think he's scarier left as-is. *ka-click!*

Ladyredhat, I just transferred my PB over to another account, put it up for trade, and it showed up at the top of the trading post. Weird, huh?
No matter how many times I tried putting it up for trade on my main account, it wouldn't show up--yet other things I put up for trade did. Maybe it is some weird conflict in the database between the item and my username.
So, if you have a secondary account, you might want to move it there to put it up for trade.

Thanks for the idea Morningstar! I don't have a second account, but I do have friends who would sell it for me that way.
However, I noticed you have a "Bill" board here so I put a notice up there - if I'm going to sell it at a discount, might as well go to a PPTer. If it doesn't get any offers, then I'll get someone else to sell it for me. I'll do that also, if I need to sell an expensive weapon and it won't show up.
I am now glad I don't often have unbuyables to sell.
