The market sucks

Reiker · #1 06-18-2010, 08:24 PM

On P99 there are two types of items auctioned: rubbish and over priced shit. Don't bother trying to play the market with dudes constantly spending hours of their life try to sell an Advisor Robe for 1.5k

I swear there's one transaction for every 50-100 /auctions. EC on live was way more fun because people were way less retarded about selling their crap.

I have no problems with the market as it is. I sell shitty noob stuff cheap and the occasional Shralok Pack, or lots of Spider Silks for decent money. This is great because it helps me make a bit of extra plat while I don't feel like killing things while also helping nooby tanks who need a Shiny Brass Halberd or some other noob junk. Honestly "playing the market" is more of a concept for games like WoW or Perfect World where the majority of players are idiots and will spend too much for too little.

Yup. 500pp for Dwarven Work Boots. 150pp for ONE jagged band. 200pp for a PGT. Ridiculous.

Prices are what the market will bear. You aren't required to buy everything listed, and I certainly wouldn't seeing as how it's overpriced by 25% usually.
Some prices are up (lol Dark Reavers) because of demand for the 30000 new SKs and SK alts rolled.

Know what to farm, and where to farm it, and you're just fine.

Some prices are up (lol Dark Reavers) because of demand with the 30000 new SKs and SK alts rolled. It's normal.

I disagree. No one's buying this shit. I'm seeing the same people selling the same crap over an entire week.

It also has a lot to do with supplying items that are in demand. Oracle Robe is a ridiculously easy item for a higher level player to obtain, with a static, guaranteed drop out in the open. I just spun around real quick in EC and saw about 7 people who would probably want to buy one, but I haven't seen one for sale in the past week. Just one example... constantly people WTBing a list of items and people constantly WTSing a completely different list. "Hey, I know you want Item A, but I can sell you the inferior Item B for 2x the price!"

200pp for a PGT? Bullshit - average I see them sell for is 100, and I've seen them as low as 75 on a few occasions.
