Offerings from the Antiques Dealer

[Darkest.Knight]

It does seem as though they toned back the offerings from the Antiques Dealer, it's been a very long time since I've bid on anything. They seemed to have stopped releasing the new, better quality buildings for bidding, oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

Or people quit selling the better stuff. I wont sell anything now because of the golden upgrades.

The items in the Auction are not what people are selling to them , they are just random items picked by Inno.

A mountain reserve was on yesterday.

Most if not all of the items offered are just space wasters, I don't even bother to open AD.
My inventory is slim but more worth that any of the items I can buy so I also don't sell anything and won't be selling until my inventory becomes so big I won't care.

 

[Pericles the Lion]

To each their own. The AD is more probably more beneficial to earlier age players than those in the Space Ages but we never run out of the need for items such as 1-up kits, reno kits, and coin/supply rushes. The AD is one of the better places to find these things.

If you stay on top of events, most of the stuff in the AD will be outdated, but good stuff comes up occasionally. More casual players I think can still benefit from it if they aren't competitive in events. It just takes a while to collect the good stuff.

The only things I buy from the AD are:
A) Wishing Wells or fragments thereof.
B) BPs
C) Reno/One Up Kits
That's it, folks. Not buying upgrades of most previous event buildings at this point. If I didn't feel that it was worth it when it was new, I'm sure not going to waste the effort and resources to pursue it simply because there's a "golden upgrade" available now.

The golden upgrade sometimes changes a building that lives in my inventory to one that lives in my city. It makes the building worth persuing... as long as tou have the golden upgrade that is. Sounds like your city is a diamond farm. I don't use wishing wells in my main city and i didnt need bps until i reached Titan.

I'm talking about going after a previous-event building by way of the AD, that's what the thread is about, not using one in my inventory. I don't keep buildings in my inventory for the most part. If they're worth building, I make room for them. And if you have the building in your inventory, then the AD has nothing to do with it. Incidentally, I have multiple cities and about half of them are Diamond farms. However, the ones that aren't still can, and do, contribute Diamonds on occasion through Wishing Wells. And since all but one of the non-Diamond farms are below ME, the Wishing Wells provide current era goods that can't be plundered.

I still think some are worth pursuing if you have the golden upgrade. When i said pursuing in my post i meant by getting the upgrades from the antique dealer so i thought i was on topic

I don't know about this. Even with good stuff in the antiques, for casual players it would be hard for them to outbid hardcore players.

 

[Orius Maximus]

It depends on how many coins you have and who's in your bidding pool. And it takes some patience.

 

[Portia the Benevolent]

I’ve been grabbing stuff just because I think golden upgrades will be coming.

 

[Orius Maximus]

The gold upgrades so far have been mostly given to buildings from the last year or two. The Governor's Villa is the only exception I can think of off hand. So I'm not going to bother stockpiling older stuff. In fact, I've been cleaning out extra pieces to reduce inventory clutter.

At this point, my primary, hasn't found an item to bid in at 6 mo., my fresh one has options all the time but my town is too fresh to have accumulated enough coin to bid on anything. I do check daily to c if something is offered to purchase w/o any bidding, today I bought a Store It kit. If I'm lucky I may get 2 useful items offered/wk.
