stop fucking haggling

[wuanahto]

over items priced at 100p or less. just fucking stop.
they are gatorscale sleeves marked at 50p. the 15 plat you asked off was not even worth the synapses in your fucking brain commanding your fucking fingers to even ask and thats not even counting my "no" reply

[Chortles Snortles]

broke ass
(lol)

[Trexller]

if people try to haggle over pennies, I just don't respond

you aren't worth my time and I don't want your business

move along

Imagine wasting time selling 50p items to begin with

[wuanahto]

Imagine wasting time selling 50p items to begin with

because after selling the 12 or so i had at the time afforded me two ports on green

[everquestgreen]

any item worth less than 500pp i just vendor. IDC if i only get a few gold for it, not worth my time.

Accept token amount from an alt that will wear it or vendor.

Velious is out now and the edge that vanilla items offer over random trash armour characters will loot as they level up is tiny.

Why are you so upset? People buying those items will often be noobs or have no plat. When they are struggling to buy 4pp spells that 15pp savings seems like a lot. You sound like a hypocrite to someone who is p99 rich. Selling items worth so little while complaining about haggling lol. Your a loser

[Lune]

Back in the day when first getting started on blue, fair money could be made by scooping up certain piddly diddly items in the tunnel for 50-200pp, things that weren't very valuable but also were just a little bit rare to actually show up in the tunnel. It's how I raised funds to outfit my brother and I's first duo.

I had so little platinum at the time that it was worth it to try to pay 100 for something someone was selling for 200, like a Siryn Hair Hood. It was usually easy to tell someone had no idea what it was worth or just didn't care much about that little platinum. What's the worst they could say, no? Then I'd wait a couple hours or days and sell it for 500. Repeat over dozens of items and a few hours here and there, was enough to outfit our characters half decently while we leveled.

Fast forward to having a hoard of platinum, I'd just post my piddly diddly items and accept whatever someone offered for them, hoping it was someone who was doing the same thing I did. 100x better than just handing it to some fresh noob unsolicited. Bigger dopamine hit for the recipient thinking they "won".

Ok, how about 40p then?

[goblinmob]

40 plus 2 stacks of bone chips?

[Loadsamoney]

When I'm asking for an item for a specific price and someone tries to squeeze an extra 50 or 100pp out of me, I'll just say noty on principle. I don't like to play the nickel and dime game.

[Ooloo]

anyone know why some hard to sell mid-level items vendor for like 80-90p, but others for like 4p?

How is the price a vendor offers you for a droppable piece of gear determined?

[Jimjam]

40 plus 2 stacks of bone chips?

Throwing in stacks of bone chips is just how a lowballing newbie character says “please”.

I already been over this anyway. Soon enough, the no-money gang will realize we are facing a reverse fishery situation re: cannabis biomass.

https://i.imgur.com/uiHidiq.jpg

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

Of course, then they will just be non-broke stoned idiots. Six of one, etc. So, we still got a problem, which Chortles wisely is warning us about here.



But the specific kind of empty pocketed loser stuff tends to dwindle in the cannabis community in direct proportion to how cheap the bud is.That kind of shit goes away in a reverse fishery situation, eventually.


Bad news for people like Putin or John Stossel.

please bro ive only got 35 plat and 6 gold and 1 silver piece - is that not enough?

[Evia]

I’ll often haggle just for the sake of haggling. Very few, if any, games have this element when buying items in game and so I milk the experience for all its worth. I don’t care about saving the plat as much as enjoying the back and forth negatioations.

[Tethler]

Good lord.

Save yourself the trouble and just give the cheapo stuff to noobs.

[branamil]

TFW you wanna buy a Ring of Shadow and they're like "How Much ya offering??"

Probably 200p because there's literally dozens for sale right now for the same price. Not sure if you were hoping to find the one guy willing to pay 210p for it.

[Gustoo]

If you’re selling a 100pp item you’ve got time to haggle down to 80pp or respond to those offers.

Some lowbies will never grind to 60 and just make 20pp profit margin reselling those gator sleeves. It’s how it was in olden times.

I agree the manual aspect of bartering in this game is the best. I personally miss hand written lists and “come to torch to see bags” but item linking is pretty hard to get rid of I guess. Nilbog prolly working on it.

Damn, bunch of P99 scummy fucks in here. If the cheapo items don't sell, offer them to noobs. That kind of community kindness is what makes this game great. If you're so fucking rich that items less than 1k are below you, why don't you help someone out lol. Got dayam we got some assholes on this server hahaha.

[Strifer]

If you bitch about haggling reasonably, ask Rogean to implement the bazaar.

Yeah if you're unreasonable it's dumb but otherwise I don't see the issue

[Chortles Snortles]

traderinos are

LE BAD

[Kohedron]

Instead of simply telling the person you're not interested in haggling, you are masturbating on your soap box on a low population message board to announce how right you are

Good job, guy, very impressive

good communities are two way streets, whats stopping you from buying up all the 100p~ items now to hand them out?

What really boggles the mind is people with WTS posts like the following:

WTS Manastone 550k, Ringmail Gloves 5p, Zlandicar's Heart 185k, Crystalline Blade 15p

An excellent question.

I find the trickiest part of this process is finding characters where 100pp items will actually be useful to them.

I do that shit all the time. I always snag 20-50p items, maybe 100p if they're weapons and give them away. I just started a rogue and had a bunch if stuff. As I'm leveling with people and I find a competent player in rags, I give them an item or two. Its nice, it feels good, and they appreciate it. Community ftw

Is getting people not to haggle your prices some kind of metahaggling?

this is fuckin awesome

devs aren't gonna make custom content

we can make our own

100% support and will donate items/plat to this cause

[wuanahto]

its fucking happening again

knock it the fuck off and just pay 20p instead of offering 10p

[unsunghero]

I think it depends on their level. If it seems like they might be a legit low level noob that’s probably all they have

But I really can’t justify a high lev haggling over 50p or something. I have some of the shittiest pp making methods around and even I can make that in a few minutes, why bother hassling someone over it? Unless maybe they were pricing it over average

I hate selling so I tended to price my hand me downs I wanted to sell at 50% of asking. Always got instant tells and in almost every situation, the buyer then immediately began auctioning the item at regular price

I’m thinking that’s fine if you want to stand there all day, flip away…

[ashentco]

If you want to sell shit fast and don't mind taking a cut on the item, just hand it to Stockroom.

yeah if im like WTS item - 150p

and i get a tell asking if i'd take 130p

that person does not receive a response

they aren't worth my time

then i go sell the 150p item to vendor for 5p

that's a better use of my time, if after a decade 10 plat still makes a difference to you, then you don't know how to play eq.

no, i will not take 5gp

it's yours, for free

oh also here take this sword, belt and bracer that I don't wanna sell, GL new guy and keep the bag.

5 min later

hey I don't wanna sell this item either, your class can't use it but you could sell it to someone else if you want, or vendor it

[unsunghero]

or give it away

Props for just giving stuff away sometimes

I only sell stuff at 50% of wikki value because I hate the idea of standing around selling as much as I hate the idea of standing around camping items. Not because I’m being nice

I’ve never given anything away, because I’m a greedy bastard. I’ll go sell it to a vendor before I give it away. Even if it’s for only 1pp, when every next upgrade costs upward of 15k, every pp helps

But I do respect people willing to give stuff away, especially nice stuff

If you're selling a 50p item, and someone asks for a discount with your immediate reply not being "You can just have them dude."

You're the broke one. It's 2023. People have given away millions on this server.

If you're poor, just say that.
