    If there is no A/W set it comes down after what time the seller decides to sell.

    For example: selling 72 hours after the last bid

    I think it's far worse when people are like "will sell 24/48/72 hours after last bid" and then proceed to sell it before the deadline is up. Like why even say that if you won't honor your word? So weird lol

    sb is the minimum they'll sell for so if they are honorable men and women they will sell when they claim the bid is up therefore a sb makes sense

    the reality is mapleroyals is full of nerds who hate honor

    "If the price I set for A/W isn't met, I have the right to sell or not sell if I want."

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    That's not how an auction works. You sell it for whatever the price ends on by the time the bidding is up.
