Down with Central Bank! (in General)

It seems that Central Bank is always there to rob me of a good deal in auctions. I have to go to school so I can't monitor my bids all the time. What is the purpose of Central Bank except to steal my bargains and every one else's? I've heard Central Bank only bids on items below normal price but if prices are below normal, so what? Whats the point of making bids higher? Anyways, it's not like Central Bank can use a TSA or anything else.

Central bank will only bid 1 time, if you want to be sure to win the item you desperately want, perhaps hire a bidder?

been posted many many times before...too tired to explain right now gimme like 20 minutes maybe i come up with energy!

The way you put it, it would seem that it has no other job than to steal your bargains as well as everyone's. But, that's not so bad really, isn't Central Bank bidding to take items out of the game when they're cheap so that supply and demand makes their worth greater?

Jacu, just wait (LOL if it ever happens & you play enough) until you want to sell something that very few people can afford or no one wants to bid on. You'll be bowing down to Central Bank. I guarantee it.

If central bank is going to place a bid on an auction if it doesn't make a certain price, why not make it start at that price? That way people won't get annoyed when their out-bid by a robot trying to make a false economy. This would probably only work on the auctions started from the auctioneer though...

But maybe we should burn Central Bank, that way no auctions will ever be possible :p

nice comeback shade, but i was arguing this very point, and realized what Central Bank really does, and i'm ok with it now. :P

Be careful what you wish for...

kevin, your answer makes sense but I dont forge large NW and useless items anymore. thank you for all the answers but I havent changed my mind.
