44) Keep handy for the next time a potential "customer" wants to see what you're selling outside. If asked, drop one on the ground for them.
45) Return to trade district with popcorn and wait for the "WTS SUPER RARE CEREMONIAL DRAGON SWORD!" so you can reply with "WTS stack of 249 SUPER RARE CEREMONIAL DRAGON SWORDS!"

This thread is both fun and sad. While I don't know either Magma or Rud personally, both names are *incredibly* familiar. When first reading Magma's OP, I, too, thought, "gotta be scam!!!" until I saw Rud was the seller in question. I can understand Magma's question, but at the same time, I just can't imagine Rud scamming or promoting scamming. Rud must be involved in at least a third of all the auction trades here.

Anyway, the various proposed uses for these are very entertaining! Sounds like good fun. I don't think I'd be willing to pay 50k for that fun, but I am oddly tempted to take a non-Tyria character to the desert and farm myself a stack-o-swords now. (Alas, that's a skill quest - all my Tyrian characters already did it ages ago.)

But seriously people, charging 50k for this stack of swords isn't scamming. The auction explained what they are, and no one is going is going to be tricked or scammed into buying them from this auction. If someone thinks they're cool and has 50k to spend on them, more power to them!

And yes, you can still gather quest items for non-repeatable quests. Get quest item, abandon quest, re-take quest, repeat.

Cheers folks,
Luny

When I first saw the auction, I thought "this is a stupid thing to sell, seller must be an idiot". But my curiousity got the best of me, so I opened the auction to see what the seller had listed for it. Then, to my surprise, I saw it was Rud posting the auction. As I stated, I know he is a very well known buyer/seller on the Guru auctions. This made me think there was something worthwhile with the item, and I just didn't know about it. SO.... I asked, in the auction, what you would be using the item for, as I could only imagine scamming. The response I got from Rud was not a link to uses, a list of uses, or even a simple explanation of uses, but a dodge.

Sorry Rud, I was not intending to 'attack' you. I asked YOU what would make me want to buy them. You failed to answer. Since you didn't give me a reason to buy them, my curiousity made me seek other sources for info. The list of 'uses' you gave in that long response is very sad. If you actually took the time to acquire 500 (or more) Ceremonial Swords to use in the ways you posted (many of those ways were not available when you say you acquired them), you must play a very boring game.

Oddly enough, the auction I posted the questions in has been closed without a sale. The other auction for the exact same thing is/was still open though. Makes you wonder what his lawyer told him to do.

Mods, please close, as I got the answer I was after, and further use of this topic will simply be to make Rud look like a scammer, or at least an idiot. I know I see him that way now, and didn't before.

lulz, "let a lawyer handle it," he says. please give this link to any lawyer in any city in the world and tell them you want to take legal action. please post back here with their responses.

btw, after your first 3 answers, the rest of your "dozens of uses" were pretty flimsy.
