That's kinda what i meant :-)
to snatch his AH so quick it can't have been a AH scan, it must have been a shortlist of common "cross-faction moves pricetags", for which most people put 1c.
Use a higher pricetag and you might not end up that quick-pick shortlist, and save your goods from snatching

i mean, if i were to write a bot, i'd just AUTOMATICALLY buy EVERYTHING priced at 1c.
Just from vendoring it i'd be rich, since everything sellable ingame is at least worth 1c to vendors.
