I think I just stumbled upon a google translated item.
I saw a description full of capitalized nouns, which I assume was written by a German speaker.
I loved that Boris Vallejo painting too!
finally got the fart one
Please don't effectively [redacted], you can just [redacted] because [redacted] is a condition in this game with defined rules, that you then don't have to spell out for us.
The vault also contains a genie merchant who has every item in existence in stock at all times.
Whom you then murder! Of course! The simplest solutions really are the best...
Why do so many items lack a description of how they look?
Descriptions are not very important to me. Coming up with the descriptive flavour is something that can be done easily at the table, and changed over and over again to suite the character or story.
Just give me clear, rational mechanics, some snappy flavour, and you will get my vote.

Well, this weapon requires a "welder". Not sure if that will come up in the game.
Just droppin my Marathon voter status in here.
How many shields are there that don't either grab/swallow/bite/disarm/etc. enemy weapons or create/turn into a larger wall? I can only think of two, and one of them shows a questionable grasp of the rules.

I have seen some shields that bounce things and some that are portals. two that deal aoes in different ways. A Roman shield, and one that carries you home.

You know, I have seen those. I guess I just haven't seen them lately--instead, I just see the (at least 6) disarming shields and walls constantly that I forget them.
Additional note:
If your item steals or otherwise manipulates souls, I will vote for any old piece of crap against you.

A magic weapon for the flashdancer bard archetype? Hmmm...

What a feeling!

Yeah, I'm kind of in the same line of thinking: monsters are there for treasure and XP, not to be charging stations or walking batteries for your creepy bling.
It also goes for items that absorb spells, spell levels, or attacks, negate them and then use that energy to fire back. It's a tricky design to pull off well because designers don't always realize how they mess with action economy.
Ignoring the few isolated class abilities that let you parry or otherwise block an attack, negating something like a critical hit or sneak attack, for example, is essentially equal to a healing action (probably several healing actions, since a typical critical hit would cause more damage than a typical healing spell), so that's like gaining two or more standard actions in a round for a very small cost. Then if the item automatically reflects said attack or spell, it's like the wielder gains one or more additional standard actions, and it isn't even his own turn yet!

Last handful of votes have had two pairs where I wanted to upvote both of them. I guess that's a nice problem to have.
I'm seeing that too. A lot of the items I've been upvoting are squaring off, and a lot of the ones I'd been consistently downvoting aren't showing up. I find myself often pursing my lips and going "Paizo Sorting Hat, why u do dis?"
Woohoo, I made dedicated. :) Maybe I'll make Marathon after all.
Seems like things are normalizing quite a bit, and most pairs I get are pretty well matched.
ETA: Still haven't seen my item, although it's on the master list. I'll take that to mean it's either really good or really bad!
There is a specific pleasure in voting for an inexpensive (under 3K) item that is simple, straightforward, succinct, and has nice flavor... as opposed to its complicated monstrosity of an opponent that (among other failings) has a random chart table which includes a chance to render your PC most-likely-completely-unplayable, depending on the whim of the GM.
Ah. Free XP item. Check.
In the edition that type of save is from it would in fact be a save vs Rods and Staves so you're inaccurate in more than one edition...
Soul[redacted] vs Soul[redacted].

What does the symbol of Golarion look like?
This is the astronomical/astrological symbol for Golarion
Edit: geez, two items made of materials that don't exist...
Oh, strange, kooky armor. I don't know what your chances are of winning, but I do know that I find you utterly charming and you get my vote more often than not.

Again...
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
If your item steals or otherwise manipulates souls, I will vote for any old piece of crap against you.
Yeah, particularly since there are very few uses for souls in Pathfinder (You can sell them to a demon or you can sell them to a devil).
Someone needs to make rules for this and I want the power level to be on par with Supernatural (you know, "souls are powerful reactors of energy that can do just about anything if you don't mind taking the risk").
First, a meh item with a sign of the creator not understanding dem rules makes me vote for something I don't like and then I see the lightsaber...
...Really? Did you even try? I could make a better lightsaber.
And there you are, other weird but cool armor. I hope you also do well. You're just too sweet.
Hey, the prices of these two items are anagrams! That's... how statistically probably is that, actually?

Would depend on how many digits, I'd guess.
First new item I've seen all day and... Hey! I've seen this guy in a movie!

Ooh! Ooh! Was it this one?!
"Does nothing a Thing should do." vs. "Does everything a Thing could possibly do."
You know, I think I am biased positively towards staves that do ANYTHING beyond the bare minimum, as long as they're formatted well. Mostly because of how bland and crappy almost all existing staves are.
Yeah, reading some of the bland staves made me think of a really awesome idea for one. Now I have to wait at least a year to enter it...
me too - a notebook filling up of wondrous items and now Staves, rings, armours and weapons (see since I'm in Australia I don't have to spell it armor on the forums!)
Looking for something that has old school WOW without it feeling forced. Big fan of tight concept and simple execution.

I was ok with you Rod until you added the last two sentences. Why oh why did you feeo the necessity to tack that on?
So that rod is just a little too long?
I think a lot of cloaks and similar wearables have found new life specifically as padded armor.
