When selling - Page 2

Seems like 90% of the time when people list an item with no price, if I ask how much, they just reply with "offer". Bugs the shit out of me. I don't respond to them after that. Now, if they don't list prices, I just don't buy from them because I don't want to deal with the games.

I hate buying and selling in EC and just want to get what I need and get out of there asap. I have like 3 bags of shit to sell on my druid that I've been carrying around for weeks because I don't want to deal with EC BS.

Ec tunnel is honestly integral to maximizing rmt so i don't really see it going anywhere.

Would hurt profits too much to introduce bazaar.

in today's market, supply > demands by a huge margin

99.9% of the case, sellers who respond with "offer" is just a complete dumbass. good luck wasting you time sitting in ec. i will log in ec another time and easily find the same item on sale by a different seller.

If I list prices, some miserable cheapskate always offers less even if I'm already pricing lower than the usual going rate for a given item, defeating the point of price listing in the first place. I'll ignore such folks but it's still unwanted nuisance. Hence I don't normally bother...little to no benefit.

I despise EC and regard it as the video game equivalent of some miserable third-world slum market. The automatic auction houses found in most newer online role-playing games are a big step up for the genre.

Agreed 100%

I have to say it gives me peace to think I will never have to communicate with a tunnel dweller (the equivalent of human excrement) again in my lifetime

When I'm selling something, and tell someone to make me an offer, I'm usually quite willing to sell for whatever their lowball offer might be. I have kunark spells for sale... make me an offer? Awesome, yours. That's usually how that goes.

Ohh so if I put a price on that Call of the Predator is will finally sell?

I do the same. An offer will benefit you in my books. I rarely sell items at full price, and if i'm selling multiples, there usually is a discount. The other day i was selling 3 flawless diamonds. I didnt' include a price, and i got 2 /tells. 1 gentleman said "i'll take 1, 3.5k?" So i said sure. The 2nd customer said "Will you take 6k for 2?" I said, sure. The offer is there for your benefit. It also means i'm open for trades.. Guess there are different outlooks on it all..
