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?

I think you just create a response without actually reading any of the quotes you provide. Just saying.

I think you're just full of yourself and refuse to see how you're in the wrong. Your behavior is exactly the same as the behavior you complain about.

I hope I never have to deal with you in EC.

If you spent any time there I am sure we have dealt with one another. You'd never have any problem with me either. You are overreacting and thinking you see something that isn't there. But not my problem, that's yours. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The reality is in the game I show nothing but respect and patience even to trogs that can't communicate effectively or waste others' time by taking an inexorbitant amount of time to go to the bank or w/e.

I just find it fun to vent here on the forums, and sometimes it's even more fun reading different perspectives on my experiences. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

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.

This is why people annoy you.
When someone starts an interaction like this with me, I assume they're trying to screw me over, by hoping I'll offer 15k. So, I either just move on and go where ever I was headed next or I spend a million minutes researching the right price. Which results in me not replying to their tell in a timely fashion, or perhaps at all.

On the flipside if they just immediately told me a price I'd have immediately replied yes or no. This is why stores IRL can sell things at such a rapid pace.

If you're ever doing any tunnel questing, the onus is on you to try and sell things to the people passing through, not the other way around. It's like you paid 25$ for a parking space at a flea market (IRL). You're responsible for sealing deals with the people who walk by your folding table. If you're just saying crazy vague stuff to them they'll keep walking.

Now if you were just passing through, and noticed someone saying WTB, then the vagueness would make sense, he was acting like more like a cash for gold store (IRL), and you didn't really know what to say when you walked in. You've since admitted though this wasn't the case. Even if you made it sound that way originally in the OP.

The guy opened himself up to a tell offering said item when he said, "WTB item". Majority of people are going to initiate the convo with, "ok what are you offering for my item?" This isn't being greedy, this is being pragmatic.

Basically the guy had no clue what the item was worth, even when given a reasonable price to buy it, he still wasn't sure... so he decided to not buy it from me. I sold it for more than I offered it to him later on.

I just was annoyed with the time it took him to reach the conclusion he didn't want the item for the price I offered. Not that he didn't buy from me, just how long it took for me to basically make up his mind for him.

It took forever dealing with him, when he was the one that supposedly wanted this item.

I won't do it again, after a minute or so I will simply cut the deal off and move along if the person seems incapable of responding back in what I consider a timely fashion.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. That was my point. You're a tunnelquester. You're the store. People who aren't stores don't say statements like that :-p
I guess my pawn shop and flea market analogies didn't make sense to people who don't go to places like those.
