Auctioning and posting prices

[karsten]

well some people do like to, and some dont -- it's a style thing that is one of the more direct reflections of RL personalities manifested in mmos. I appreciate your preference for one style over the other, however, due to the large spectrum of personalities that mankind represents, I am certain that you'll also be able to understand that non-price auctioning will continue in the future.

If I don't see a price and it's an item I want, I just ask. If they say make them an offer, I consider it and then lowball [You must be logged in to view images.

Obviously they have SOME amount they'd like to make in mind. At that point I start to feel like they want to rip people off who don't know the value of something, and then thank them and move on. I could be wrong about the ripping off of people, maybe they don't know what it's worth, either, and are afraid of selling it for too little, but oh well. It's still time to move on [You must be logged in to view images.

Worst-case, just ask for a Price Check a day or two in advance [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
