they are gatorscale sleeves marked at 50p. the 15 plat you asked off was not even worth the synapses in your fucking brain commanding your fucking fingers to even ask and thats not even counting my "no" reply
Why are you so upset? People buying those items will often be noobs or have no plat. When they are struggling to buy 4pp spells that 15pp savings seems like a lot. You sound like a hypocrite to someone who is p99 rich. Selling items worth so little while complaining about haggling lol. Your a loser

Back in the day when first getting started on blue, fair money could be made by scooping up certain piddly diddly items in the tunnel for 50-200pp, things that weren't very valuable but also were just a little bit rare to actually show up in the tunnel. It's how I raised funds to outfit my brother and I's first duo.

I had so little platinum at the time that it was worth it to try to pay 100 for something someone was selling for 200, like a Siryn Hair Hood. It was usually easy to tell someone had no idea what it was worth or just didn't care much about that little platinum. What's the worst they could say, no? Then I'd wait a couple hours or days and sell it for 500. Repeat over dozens of items and a few hours here and there, was enough to outfit our characters half decently while we leveled.

Fast forward to having a hoard of platinum, I'd just post my piddly diddly items and accept whatever someone offered for them, hoping it was someone who was doing the same thing I did. 100x better than just handing it to some fresh noob unsolicited. Bigger dopamine hit for the recipient thinking they "won".

When I'm asking for an item for a specific price and someone tries to squeeze an extra 50 or 100pp out of me, I'll just say noty on principle. I don't like to play the nickel and dime game.

anyone know why some hard to sell mid-level items vendor for like 80-90p, but others for like 4p?

How is the price a vendor offers you for a droppable piece of gear determined?

Throwing in stacks of bone chips is just how a lowballing newbie character says “please”.

I already been over this anyway. Soon enough, the no-money gang will realize we are facing a reverse fishery situation re: cannabis biomass.
