For 5 days ago Nybras / Nybrasbank sold a Wavecrasher for 60k
A happy buyer thanks him for the deal on forum thereafter.
3 days after this deal I sold a Wavecrasher for 74-75k
The value of Nybras impatience is up to 15k LOL :)))

When I sell low I expect the item to be resold at +50%. That was a real act of generosity to charge only +25% for your finders fee.

You're such an idiot, Schnick.
The time that it takes for him to re-farm the wavecrasher, sell it, and farm some more will be triple the profit margins you'd find on this item while wasting your life in EC.
Good job, Alejandros!
Way to admit (as if we didn't all know) that you sucked, still suck and will probably suck some more in the future.

You probably obsess over ensuring you get the highest amount possible for every item.
You also probably hoard items for months maybe years if the item doesn't sell for higher than normal value.
What you fail to realize is that sellers with items that are never stagnate still make profit even if they don't sell their items all at top worth, because the flow of revenue is continuous and they also never sell for a loss, even though they will sell for less than top shelf prices.
Anyway, some people hoard an item and try to milk it for every ounce of supposed worth, while others like to keep things moving constantly.
In a nutshell there is no wrong way here and you bragging about this supposed gain of plats makes you look retarded.

Nybras has, in the past, come on kitten raids and helped many kittens with their chanter epics and general enchantering. Say what you want about his marketeering, he is good peoples in my book.

So, what your saying is that he made more than twice as much plat off that item as you did?

other way around.
schnickusaurus sat in EC for 3 more days trying to flip his wavecrasher for more than the other person. And got lucky enough to find someone with more plat than time.
(he say in EC trying to flip his wave crasher for 8 days according to his op)

How do you even sell something for 74k-75k. Its either 74k or 75k or somewhere inbetween.

The value of "nybras impatience" was the amount of time it took you to sell that item for the additional 15k, not just the difference in platinum. You failed to consider your opportunity cost.

Also lets you turn around lore items quick so you can get another to sell without having to deal with alts, corpseing, etc.

Ok unlike normally where i answer to all the haters ill just make 2 things clear here:
1) i dont lie. I might be harsh in business but i dont lie. I did get 74-75k . Not giving details to show respect to my buyers
And 2) oh i missed you Quido good to see you good to see you. Are you the guy with 50mil plat on mouse cursor???? I would die to know. Seriously lol!!

So where's the value in +15k? It's worthless bits of information on some guy's server. You've been spending years lurking in the tunnels. What's your end game? RMT it all? Buy something really nice? Probably could have just raided and gotten much more stuff with much less effort in a shorter time frame. So it's RMT then. Can you do us all a favor and cash out now so we don't have to deal with you any longer?

Yes, saying 74-75k instead of 74 or 75k specifically makes it ambiguous. You protected a lot of shame for those anonymous buyers.
You're fucking dumb.

Profit gained was less than the opportunity cost of doing something else with your time. Net loss.

Too busy to read the 3-4 pages so this may have already been asked, but what is the point of saying you sold it for "74-75k". You're the one that sold it.

aid also like to point out that the the opportunity cost is not alternative uses of the additional time this item was on the market, because selling the item is not a mutually exclusive activity. He was undoubtedly selling other items alongside this one. The opportunity cost would be the other items that he may or may not have been able to purchase due to decreased liquidity. If you want to asses the opportunity cost of his time investment, you'd need to look at the entirety of what he is doing with his time relative to alternative uses. He's not spending all of 3 days only trying to sell that one item ^^

I don't know which of them ended the week with more plats earned, but it's fairly clear the OP holds a lot of jealousy and envy for Nybras. The more important question here is why?
Schnick, why are you jealous and envious of Nybras?

there is so much obvious bull shit posting (fake news!) when it comes to people buying and selling items on this server. Folks are routinely posting fake WTB and WTS threads to push up/down apparent demand/price levels for items....either more people are doing it now or they are more aggressive, but the frequency I see these posts is grown much more in the last couple months than I've seen before on p99.
