Apparently nostalgia is worth hundreds of thousands of plat these days.

[AexDestroy]

Assuming you have a druid?

I could include VS legs as part of a trade, which are a skin like diamond click. A very useful replacement for the better robe of the spring to retain that functionality to farm/stone/PL/whatever with ease.

Cheers man

Bp.

Whats the considered value towards the trade?

I'm not interested in dealing with you the moment you have said that.

Sorry mate, I don't do business with wiki price people and guys who care more about a value in plat than a value to their char/in game/nostalgia.



Apparently the protocol these days is to just blindly accept trades, whether or not you are aware of the value of a trade.

"ASKING QUESTIONS?!!! ZZAAHHHH RAGE QUIT THIS TRADE NEGOTIATION AHHHHHHHHH"

[Buriedpast]

Yeah nah.

Was having a shit day, you were on the receiving end of a whole few hours of EC fuckwits wasting my time.

But I'll pass on the robe now. Nice to see some true colours of your personality come out, it seems I was right. Just another twit.

Also it would of been easier to say 'nah mate, stripping my Druid so only interested in X' and is have a robe, because I have plenty of other shit and plenty o plat. Going straight for the value of it showed me your cards, not the kind of person I deal with.

[yevea]

this is a bad thread

you should feel ashamed of yourself

[Daldaen]

Finding RNF section is apparently hard.

[Buriedpast]

Quite hard, give the guy a break though. No one gets this upset without other shit going on IRL etc.

[Spitty]

What a moral quandary we have here! A quagmire of the utmost intellectual concern.

Isn't that old idiom coming to mind? One man's trash is another man's treasure?

How does one value pixels? By weight? By luminosity? By time invested or gratification received?

Tis is not nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or would you take arms against your seas of trouble?

For this, friends, is the rarest of displays, the lightest of weight on the soul made stone of unending pressure on the mind. The winter of your discontent has, herein, been made glorious spring by the summit of this thread.

Please, dear friends, consider the exchange of your words to be that of an exchange of immaterial goods; of shallow pixels given depth and longevity by memory and clicking hand.

Also, you could always keep this shit in PMs.

[Tecmos Deception]

Yeah nah.

Wait. So you rage out on some guy because you were annoyed by a bunch of other guys, but him reacting to that is HIM showing HIS true colors?

You just fucking blew up on some warrior in class forums who was asking an honest question about evasive vs. defensive too. YOU are the fuckup here.

[Barahir]

Yeah nah.

I totally get what you are saying, I remember getting my first bronze weapon and being really stoked about it, that being said I will trade you a few bronze weapons for the clickie legs.

Only faggots cry about people who use the wiki prices as a selling guideline. You realize that 97.8% of the people on this server will snake up cheap items to flip them and make a huge profit. The wiki is there to help avoid these ass holes that take advantage of people. Quit being such a fucking cry baby about someone using the wiki prices you jackass.


Besides, from these messages all he does is ask the value. I see no mention of wiki until you started crying.

Better to be mad about IRL stuff than randoms you can /ignore in a video game.

Curious how you taking a shit on him is just you having a bad day but him doing it to you makes him a pathetic waste of life.

I'm pretty sure this thread confirmed HQ bear pelts to be equal to or greater than kunark set BPs in value. Not that we care about the value of anything here on p99.

[Asap]

This guy buriedpast is a douche, check out what he posts about a warrior asking an honest question that he was unsure about

Quotes like this remind me that 95% of people on P1999 are terrible at EQ. Jesus do you pay any attention what so ever to what happens to you, as your primary role as a warrior?

Making money is taking advantage of people? You do know that buying/manufacturing something for less than what you are going to sell it for is the base idea behind all trade since the beginning of time? Usually people get items for cheap when someone doesn't want to wait that extra 2 days to get someone to pay the "going rate" on an item. And someone who can capitalize on this is not an asshole, they're just smart and patient.

An item is worth what someone will pay for it, not what the wiki says and not what the /shout PC on xx response in EC says.

[NextGenesis88]

This dude .... how is it wrong to want to know whether he's making a good investment or deal? I am not very hostile at all on here or IRL, but seriously you are being a little girl. Aside from all that you say that you wrongfully directed your anger and frustration towards him yet you go ahead an ignore that to try and shame him. Wanting to know current values is not being disrespectful, it's being smart. You aren't going to go around making trades in game without knowing whether you are making a good decision and especially in real life. When the hell would you do that?

Another example of something silly was when I was asking for a transfer and specifically said, "only someone of a known guild and good reputation" and the only 2 people that send me tells either don't meet those requirements at all or straight up tell me they have no reputation. When I said, "you are a naked trader alt with no guild tag, sorry." they freak out on me telling me I am disrespectful and rude. Well actually we ended up having a convo and working it out and actually went through with the transfer and had no isses which was nice.

Anyways, you should not have jumped to conclusions for him doing something that anyone in their right mind would do. I know my example isn't really the same thing, but it goes to show you should not jump to conclusions so fast and shun someone like that for being cautious and aware of the situation. It never pays to be careless with money and items of certain value. Even if you are going to wear or use the item, it's still good to not lose money on the deal for future reselling value.

Also, doesn't everyone watch the wiki and auction trader? It does reflect the current market... It's just the same as watching and remembering things you see in game, except you don't have to. Simply a useful tool that you can only benefit from by having a rough estimate or guideline. It just seems you think you are above players who use these tools to our disposal for some reason.

That was my novel on the subject. Now available at Amazon and other fine retailers alike.

this guy just doesnt interact well with others, i had a similar experience with him wondering about a pair of vibrating gaunts. i think he just genuinely doesnt realize he comes off as someone who is either very short/rude or possibly he just has some mild form of irl aspergers and doesnt handle social interactions well.

No, you didn't. I said what I would pay for them, being similar to what I sold them for.

You said no.

I said get in touch with me if they don't sell. End. Not talked since.

Thread is full of win. Immersion levels and group think is strong among the mob. Allah Akbar.

Actually it's more to do with I'd rather deal with people who use items, not flog them off. If he said "no use for legs but I'm starting a rogue", or "only plat at the moment" instead of lineballing for a quick flip to some other poor schmuck then I'd of bought it. I just don't like dealing with traderkids. By going directly to value, with no dialogue or discourse he showed me who/what he is and I'm happy not to buy. If he did open a dialogue, I would of paid the 80k over the next best offer that I suggested with no reservations. Sometimes it isn't just the trade that matters to me, I have alts full of raid gear if be trading away of I know it would be used by people not flicked for a buck. Part of not wanting my items ending up as RMT.

[Buriedpast]

Calm down, it's just a game

To be fair. A warrior who has no concept of doing their job, the mechanics involved, and an ability to make decisions on the fly in regard to discs, aggro, gear is by definition: bad at eq.

If he asked perhaps along the lines of: "why should I use either disc and in what situation, and how do they work so I can understand?"

Then, we can get technical and explain it for the betterment of the player and all who read. Instead, like most people bad at this game, they want it handed on a silver platter with zero technical evidence and thus another ill informed dude with someone else's opinion who preaches it is born. Why help those who don't want to be helped, and why not teach those who have a genuine interest in being better.

Or just auto attack and disc def/evasive with a roll of the dice.

i didnt want to take the time to screen shot these so you can take me at my word or not idc.

Buriedpast - you online at the moment?

Pint - Nah but I can be, whats up?

Buriedpast - was considering the gauntlets

Pint - We decided 600k seemed fair as a buyout, is it necessary for me to log in for
us to discuss? I don't mean to insult you but if the trade isn't p99 related I'm
not interested.

Buriedpast - not interested or even close.


Sooo basically you did not tell me what you would pay for them or that you ever had sold a pair. I never said no and you did not tell me to get in touch with you later at any point in time, i sold them days later for 500k. idk where your story comes from but honestly no big deal on my end

[Pint]

forgive my inability to forumquest properly, here you go

Would like another pair, somewhere around that mark.
From detoxx
Last pair went for 550k, could do 500k but not much lower than that.

And nothing from there except for askin him to speak to me if they don't sell. I simply didn't see the value in them at that price. Still don't. But glad for you they sold for 500-550k. Is maybe spend 450 on a pair given the chance to discuss it.

Sorry for confusing the conversations. Hardly untoward as you hinted to dude.

And once again, wanted to talk in game simply because opening up a dialogue is half the fun of an MMO. Who knows, maybe we could of worked something out to get what you wanted. I'm just weary of high end trades where people don't talk.

Hardly fuel to a fire.

[Buriedpast]

forgive my inability to forumquest properly, here you go

Lack of forum quest ability is a virtue, it's a skill best not learnt for the betterment of the server.

[Pint]

sorry but if you claim i said something that i definitely didnt say im going to call you on it. your problem seems to be that you simply dont know the high end market for items like you used to and that is somehow everyone else being "ecwikitraderscum", maybe you just need to feel out prices awhile longer and stop getting offended when your not in the ballpark anymore.

[Pint]

just as an addition, I in no way think that you wanted to get involved in any underhanded dealings from my experiences with you. I have just sold enough highend loot and a few accts to know that on larger items/accts your always goingto get email addresses and skype contact info mixed in with in game offers, I just try to distance myself from those from the soonest point possible

[AexDestroy]

Lemme explain to you how it works. We'll use our trade as an example.

You - Ill offer 300k
You - I also have ES legs I can trade
me - I need to know how much ES legs go for, and what you consider the value of them at, and I also need to know what your actual offer is. is it 300k + legs? is it less PP + legs? Im assuming its not 300k + legs, so I need to know what you consider your legs worth so I know going into the trade what to counter offer you if necessary. And let me explain how that works.

See if you consider them to be worth 250k, and I see them as only worth 220k, see now we're at a 30k difference in our proposed trade values. Things on this server cost a certain range of plat, and if I want to get 400k for my item, and you're offering me 150k+legs you value at 250k, I see that trade as only 370k.

Do you not understand how that works? and furthermore why the first thing someone might ask when you offer an additional item to a trade, is how much you consider that item to be worth? If I know for a fact I can get legs somewhere else for less than what you're considering them, I certainly am not going to value them in a trade at the same price you do.

Thats not ecwikitraderscum, thats normal intelligent everquest trading.

If there is such a thing as ectraderscum, you're the only one in this thread that has so far fit the bill.

[chief]

buriedpast is never wrong about ec prices, if he is you are mentally unstable irl. Just check his last 10 posts, hes never wrong bros

[Raelador]

I think everytime a post that should be in RNF gets put in General all parties involved should be forced to login to Arena and duel it out.

[Xer0]

Yeah nah.

Was having a shit day, you were on the receiving end of a whole few hours of EC fuckwits wasting my time.

But I'll pass on the robe now. Nice to see some true colours of your personality come out, it seems I was right. Just another twit.

Also it would of been easier to say 'nah mate, stripping my Druid so only interested in X' and is have a robe, because I have plenty of other shit and plenty o plat. Going straight for the value of it showed me your cards, not the kind of person I deal with.

I love how this dude pretends to have the high ground here. If you can't keep frustrations you're having with person A out of a discussion with person B.,.. you are a child. Are you really so ignorant that you proudly stand up without even batting an eyelash and say "Yeah look how big a dick HE was being"?

You must be truly delusional.

Only an idiot would sell their house without getting it valued

[Droog007]

I need to know what you consider your legs worth so I know going into the trade what to counter offer you if necessary.

No, you don't ... You either find the sum acceptable or not. The value he places on the variable in this equation is his to know.

Conclusion: both parties are kinda douchey and have too much time on their hands to amass virtual wealth and then fight over it on forums...
