What attitudes and philosophies do you hate in P1999?

[Pent Magick]

What kills me is I often do a mix of listing a price on one set of items and then not listing a price on a 2nd set of items. I do this purposefully for a variety of reasons, but a lot of it has to do with there being wiggle room on my price and I'd like tells to talk about it. Also people saying I'm gouging them drives me a bit over the top. I often buy items when people are in a hurry and then still sell them below normal price because I'm making my margin on them. I'm not trying to maximize profits I'm trying to have liquid plat flow. Many 50-100pp profitable transactions is more fun and interesting to me than 1 500pp profitable transaction. I spend a lot of time in the tunnel buying and selling, because I enjoy doing it and it's a great break in my studies. I often do transfers for people or give away items that are inexpensive to new people who clearly don't have the coin for low cost items.

Has anyone encountered the 1-2 polite fat cats? I had an Atramentous Shield a couple of weeks back... some nerd said "hey, i know its a low offer but if you just want to get rid of it for 2k i'll buy it, i notice you're asking more than the going rate for it"

Respectfully... fuck off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is it bad i just give everything away?

Partly cause I like to help people, and also I'm way too lazy to sit there and sell things.

Although i do always feel like shit when i get multiple people chime in for an item and i give it to the first responder and have to tell the other's it's gone =/

I do this too. No big deal really unless you are in it for the "economic gain"
Gives a fellow player a better chance & opens up a bag slot. win/win

This is more an irk than a thing I hate, but I once tried to give away a load of mixed small chain / banded armour and a forged spear. It was not a full set, but I know I was very happy to get them when I was a low-level rogue just starting out and a passing dwarf donated them to me.

But... Nobody needed them. Nobody would take them even for free. The only characters low enough level to appreciate it were already twinked with stat-gear and/or bronze plate, so I think I ended up vendoring it to free up some space in my bank. That made me sad, wondering if I had been the last untwinked chain-wearer in Greater Faydark...

It was just bad timing I think. There are actual starting untwinked players (like me!) out there who would have gladly taken that gear.

Sadly, I was getting ready to head back to Unrest (which is the source of the small chain armour) and needed to shift as much weight as possible so I could stay there as long as I could before heading back to sell stuff.
