Trade etiquette: RESPOND if you're not interested.

yeah I dunno maybe I'm just fortunate enough to not need to maximize my gain at every opportunity

feels kind of good to say "that's a fair price, I'll take it" instead of haggling over 500 plat

Because even though they're selling the item for ridiculously cheap, they may not know what the thing is worth and I might still be able to get a better price out of them.

The best traders haggle for every nickel and dime they can.

the best traders know that maintaining good relationships with customers and suppliers is important. people tend to avoid dealing with nickle-diming jewbags if they can help it.

Just cause someone can try and get something worth $10.00 for a jewish dollar versus a dollar, doesn't make them a good trader.

You guys remember Armani? Almost every respectable trader avoided dealing with that dumbfuck because trying to work out a deal with a price-gouging scumbag preying on ignorance is annoying. In the end, before he got banned, only dumb noobs would buy his shit.

Kinda cute that on the OP you go on about etiquette and how people should quit being rude, but then carry on how it's perfectly reasonable to lowball even the lowball price tags in hope that you can rip someone off.

Haggle all you want but take your fucking medicine when you send insulting offers and get ignored.

Sorry but i'll always try for a better deal on a item unless its super cheap then i'm trying to get my tell in before any other guy. And what you think a price isn't set in stone. And i'm the opposite of you. I will advertise something for more knowing i'll get haggled down some in the end but then again i like spending time in EC. Easy way to make money.

That's valid, and I can accept that. My issue is I just hate the haggling process. I don't to sit there "negotiating" in tells for ten minutes every time someone makes an offer on an item. That's the reason I lower my prices. If you're ok with haggling, and you jack up your prices anticipating it, more power to you. You and I will probably end up never sending each other tells in EC because I will think your prices are too high and you'll try to get me to lower mine and I'll just say no. It's not a big deal.


These guys are spazzing out and saying people don't "know how to play" because their way of doing it is different.

Well, most people who aren't insane are willing to spend an extra dollar rather than go months without drinking milk at all.
