Nah... no time for that crap. Tired of people trying to save 50p on a 4k item. Been trading on this server for just about 5yrs. I've had enough with haggling. I tend to sell low and buy high just to get on with what I really want to do.

Well then you are not forward thinking. You have all this product just rotting on the shelves while there are buyers out there for the taking. Time to open a chain? Then you'll maximize your profits. just don't let them form some stinking union on you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

"sell low buy high" - but you're not willing to let a 4000p item go for 3950p?

>:/

use the word "firm" - or expect to get offers lower than asking.

Did you not read the other posts? I sell the 4k item for 2k... when I'm offered 1950p that's what problem is.

Enough with suggesting firm lol I do that! I've played the trade game on this server for a looong time. I appreciate all your suggestions but you're missing the point.

I think it's pretty weird that people take low offers as a personal insult. Just say thank you for offer and move on. I personally always sell under my asking price, usually I'll offer to split the difference and see if we can work out a deal that both people think is fair.

This is how we used to do it on Live.

Yeah guess my EC tolerance is at an all time low. /shrug

If someone is insulted and starts acting offended by an offer I immediately suspect they are just RMTers trying to maximize.

Why didn't you sell it for 2050 to begin with? #FAIL [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Say Firm next time and quit your belly aching.
Also there is no rule that says you HAVE to reply to people looking to buy. Like I said earlier communicate as little as possible.
