WTB an item? Know what you paying for it.

Would be true if he paid too much, he didn't. He paid the higher end of normal on the item, and thus was NOT ripped off.

He actually walked awake feeling GREAT, he got a nice item he could stick on his toon, and I walked away a fat cat enjoying how much plats I got to count up after the sale.

This was a win/win for us both, and we both enjoyed it equally well, savoring every second of the ingame pixel deal as much as we possibly could.

I am sure if we both had a chance to do it all over again, we both would happily oblige, knowing that full satisfaction would be reached. Again.

I just want to say THANKS to this sensible, normal dude in EC who bought my item without wasting 20 minutes of my time by being a clueless, offish doofus. This interaction left me feeling like there was hope, and there are people that are in the EC tunnel who are capable of interacting in a non-evasive manner.

Just assume that someone buying the item is doing a price check with you first. Problem solved. Many people buying stuff have no clue what it is worth especially if they arent too familiar with the item or the game. I remember in vanilla wow someone was selling a tailored item and I asked him for a price check. He came back to me with a price I didnt want to spend so I said "no ty." He started cursing me out in trade chat saying I was a noob and a little bitch and not to sell to me. Apparently he jumped the gun and made the item when all I wanted was a price check. He had the nerve to blame me and attempt to publicly shame me for his idiocy.

Anyway my point is the responsibility of setting the price for an item does not fall on the buyer. You dont walk into a store asking if they have an item and have the shopkeep responds with "What is it worth to ya?"

Doesn't apply one bit. An open shout of someone saying "I want to buy a silver helm!" is a far cry from walking into a store that sells silver helms where prices are labeled on each of them for you to see. If you yell you are looking for a specific item, then you probably should have an idea what you are willing to pay for it.

If I /auc I am WTB an item, you can be sure when you send me a tell saying you got the item I will know the most I am willing to pay for said item, before I even initiate any interaction with someone by yelling "WTB ITEM I NEEDS IT NOW!!!!"

If you are initiating the auction by advertising you are WTB something, then yes, the onus is on you to know the max you are going to pay for it, afterall YOU are the one that wants the item, not the seller who contacts you because YOU advertised you wanted something they have.

Doesn't matter, I sold the thing for more than I offered to the guy, it's his loss and my gain.

I disagree with all of lhancelot's points.
People who sit in ec all day expect this sort of treatment, people who wander through are clueless and often doing something else.

The only people who respond to WTB requests are the ones looking to charge more than what something is worth. They try to make it into a sellers economy.

They're also the type to advertise WTS items without prices.

Wrong.

I got lots of alts and end up finding items sitting on them never being used. So, when I see someone WTB something I know I got on an alt that is doing nothing but collecting dust I might offer the item to sell them.

I get to unload an item and add plats to my mule, and they get an item quickly, saving them time WTB in EC for hours which can be frustrating in itself.

Keep on thinking the world is against you, and that everything is geared in life to destroy you and take your things, and that no one does anything to help others out. Must be a miserable place to be when everything and everyone is out to get you.
