Yes, it would make sense, you bid and your neopoints get taken, then you self-ice:
1- You win the auction, the seller gets the neopoints that were on hold and the item goes to iceland.
2- You lose the auction your neopoints on hold go to iceland.
Yes, the seller still gets your neopoints.
On top of that, the seller gets the item back as well.
And on top of that, this was an issue back in the day for a lot of players. Selling to people who'd self ice their accounts to get high ticket items for free, which is what eventually led to them fixing auctions so that they'll process even if the buyer is frozen.
This also led to people who did self ice their accounts while buying high end items to being frozen for scamming and not being able to get their accounts back.
I'm all for cheating, but don't be a scumbag.
