WTB an item? Know what you paying for it.

[Sancta]

Best kind of ECTunnel transactions:


A: "How much for xxxx, sir?" (item worth 1k tops, on Wiki, P99Auctions, and Ahungry)

B: "Offer"

A: "800p"

B: "No, Thanks"

A: "Alright, how much then"

B: "Not enough sorry"

A: "That's fine but how much then? I already gave offer, what price did you have in mind"

B: "1200"

A: "How about 1100?"

B: "No thanks, too low"

Yeah that's annoying too. I just recognize they want more than I am willing to pay, and understand eventually someone will come along selling it for cheaper.

My favorite is when you see someone selling without a price...they ask for an offer and then when you make a reasonable offer they reply with something like "lol" and then don't respond to any of your other tells. Good thing we don't have P99Yelp.com....

Whats the deal with that, Rdawg816? Is it an attempt to shame you into offering more? I don't understand.

"WTB - FBSS 1k, Hierophant Cloak 10k, Wavecrasher 1k"

Does that shit ever work?

I don't know. I've seen a couple sellers like that. Like they are seller GEB and I offer 2k (and they're "worth" 2.5) and they just laugh. Then I ask what they are looking for and they don't answer. So I offer a little more....still nothing. I just put them on my list and keep looking. It's weird, I think. It's so hard to send a counter? Even a 2.5k or 3k firm is fine....but nothing? /shrug

Yes it does, they can't be looking at 2 monitors at once...one day their number will be up.

It would be interesting to see which big ticket items get given to EC mules, who the giver and receiver of the item is and if those two characters are subsequently online but with opposite afk times...

You know i find it funny that its a given to tip for ports and sometimes people tip for res or sow but transfering is never tipped, except one time I was given an item because he didnt want it anymore. Whenever someone asks for an xfer in ec chat ill go ahead and do it. Sometimes I dont know what im getting myself into. This one guy must have transfered items between at least 5 alts and it took somewhere between 20mins to a half hour. He then logged off. I mean, i was doing it to be nice but a few plat for my time wouldnt have hurt. I was holding like 2k for him.

I soon stopped running across Norrath to rez people as a cleric. Sure its a great feeling to dig people out of the shit (one time notably in Lower Guk a mid 30's group decided they were going to do the deeper camps and wiped hard), but when they claw 25ish plat together between them (can't expect more honestly)...you know you could have ported 10-20 or more people for Dial A Port at the same time.

The true angels of the server continue regardless... not sure if Coeur still plays but he/she would be endlessly digging people out of Dalnir, Kaesora and other nasty places for the sake of helping them out.
