Actually, D3 had much less trading going on which was the problem. There were significantly less items in D3 that were worth trading, even given the fact that you didn't have to make a cost-benefit analysis with regards to time spent trying to trade an item like in PoE. It may appear that more trading was going on due to how many items are on the AH, but that wasn't the case in my experience. Most AH items sat unpurchased until they expired.

You were doing it wrong. I was the guy making your items not sell, because I was underbidding you. Both of us were hocking crap (or attempting to) that never should have been tradeable in any decent ARPG, or became untradeable in D3 due to the rampant inflation.

The only way you could be underbidding people in D3 AH was if you were taking less than what vendor would pay.
