WTB an item? Know what you paying for it.

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.

That's pretty cool, I need to level my cleric up I like the healing classes best because of the buffs and help you can give others. I always struggle with what race to make for classes more than anything, though I do seem to end up enjoying humans the most for some reason. Anyway, it would be fun running a cleric around bailing people out with rezzes!

I got lots of alts and end up finding items sitting on them never being used. So, when I see someone WTB something I know I got on an alt that is doing nothing but collecting dust I might offer the item to sell them.

Quit lying. You're still going to ask what they're paying, and if it's not more than the normal price, you're going to pass. That's why you answered the WTB in the first place. You're not some kind of EC hero.

I am editing this.

You don't deserve an explanation past what I already have given on this topic. I don't try to be a "hero in ec".

I buy low, sell high, and stay within the price ranges of normalcy and make decent money this way when I feel like tunnelquesting. I don't do it a lot, but I can when I need to.

I can only assume you are making statements purely based on what you do, because I don't do that, and have offered many examples of proof showing I don't do that, nothing indicating I am trying to screw people over.

I want to point out that if I had a 10k item, and asked someone, "what are you offering for it", and they said, "oh... uh I will give you 15k for it..." I would agree and take their 15k. Anyone that is going to say they wouldn't is full of shit. No one here would say, "oh you know that's way too much! How about you just give me 10k for it."

So, when I contact someone WTB an item, I am going to first ask to see what they will pay. Now, if they say they aren't sure what it is worth, I will do what I did with this guy. I might tell them what it's worth, and I definitely will tell them what I will take for it.

You can rest assured I will not sell it for less than I paid for it and I will make a profit on it. But, I won't lie and say it's worth more than it is, or try to sell the item for double it's worth.

I am happy just making a profit off an item even if it's only 100pp. I know all the profits add up so I don't hoard pixels till I can get the max amount for them later on down the road like some people do.

sounds like this thread is you contradicting yourself over and over

make fair prices and tell people your price from the get go

also if u have to sell said item for X and you really need that price... list it slightly higher to leave some room to haggle

should solve your problems

I don't have problems, per se. I just have a problem with clueless people in EC that waste others time when not sure what they want or how much they want to pay for it.

I also have a problem with people that say, "going to the bank brb" and then take 20-30 mins to go to the bank to pay me for an item. Yes, this happens a lot too.

Basically I don't care about indecision, as long as it's sorted out quickly. If you don't know what you are WTB an item for, then don't say you are WTB an item. It's pretty simple actually.

If you need to go to the bank to pay me 1k plats for an item, cool. Just don't leave me waiting in EC for 20-30 mins while you jerk around taking your time because you are not in any kind of hurry for the item or to pay me.

My point is, be considerate to other people you are dealing with. That's it.

I gave a port to someone a long time ago and they gave me Emissary of Thule. I offered it back, but they insisted that I take it. I thanked them for their generosity and assured them I would pay it forward. I gave it away to the next necro I saw which needed it.
Not everyone is out to screw over another player that's playing a game. Some actually want others to enjoy their game also instead of having to amass stupid amount of imaginary coins while another hoards it in their bank or whatever.

You sound exactly like a wall street banker having to deal with a high school kid fixing you a sandwich at Subway.

"I'm sorry, sir, we don't serve filet minion at Subway."

Then you come to the forums and complain about it.

Who's wasting who's time?
