Well in the classifieds for the ham shank, there is a guy posting for 0.99 ref, which is basically 1 ref. That isn't allowed, right?

 

Thanks!

To put it simply, there's no difference between .99 refined and 1 refined because a refined is made of 9 scrap, so technically its .999999999999 repeating indefinitely which is the same as 1 refined. Its sleazy to ask .99 refined because you know the person is going to give you a whole refined which is also known as 1 refined. People doing that are not being smart and business savvy by doing it, people that do that are being asshats.

In metal, it's 9 scraps to a ref. So since 1 scrap is usually written as 0.11, 9 scraps could technically be 0.99, which is the same as 1 ref. But here because 0.99 is used to push his listing ahead because 0.99<1 so the classifieds push his listing ahead.

 

In reality a scrap is technically 0.111..... ref and 9 scraps would be 0.999....... ref, and the big mathematical debate of is 0.9999...=1 applies.

No, it's fixed, try it yourself.

 

The reason this ad exists is the same reason all old listings exists which is because the new classifieds price system is backwards compatible.
