Another great Classic experience

[Blitzers]

So I was running thru EC on my way to the Neriak bank the other night and I decided to auction some of my wares that I was able to upgrade in unrest. I auctioned a bracelet of woven grass. Within seconds I had people wanting to buy asking how much. 2 of the 3 said I wanted too much which was 250p. I got responses like "what are u people thinking" & they're only worth 75 on wiki. The 3rd guy responded would u take 200, of course I would was my reply.

The morale of the story is. This transaction would have never happened with a bazaar, I would most of likely just banked the bracelet for an alt. You may all say I ripped him off, on the contrary I offered a product at a suggested price and reduced that price to accommodate my customer. Now would I have taken 100p maybe, but the point is supply & demand is a great thing. The bazaar flooded the market with everyone bank junk thus making your assests worthless and effort to sell trivial for all.

Love EC market. True free market capitalism at its finest!!!

An automated auction would have the same effect. You're thinking purely of buy-it-now with a set price.

ie; this game would be much better if it had a WoW AH clone.

We have a contender for dumbest post 2015, and it's only January.

Grata on ripping dude off. You'll fit right in with elxinobarrio and the rest of the tunnel rats. Now all u need to do is master the "all I have is xpp I'm new" lie.

Participating in free gear giveaways or raffles/randoms when you have millions of plat is also a pro tip.

i like haggling, im still fairly poor so i dont have much experience with the top shelf loot. But if i see an item selling for 400 i offer 250, sometimes they say sure, other times i get a counter offer somewhere in the middle. I guess what im trying to convey is offer what you think is a good deal and dont be afraid to settle for a fair price. If its a rip dont buy it.
