I am a little put out by how some people are manipulating some common items at the market place. Making users save a measely 10-3g at times.

How pathetic and cruel i find it. These all used to have a minimum of 200g decrease in value. neutral

Actually i ve been watching the market it appears some items are be remained at the inflated rate (just the pop items) but everything else seems to be drifting down again. (these are the nov-dec items cheap 04 the feb items keep going down and are back around the 30k mark that is a considerable drop. Monkey pjs down to 7-8k again. Etc

sweatdrop I'm pretty sure I'm included in that group
xDD

Not really sure if this is how other peopel feels, but for myself, I put the Buy Now price really high to avoid users from buying.

I for one love haggling, I want them to bid or haggle ^^

Also I find it helful to have at least one item in high price, that way people can click the item, one to see what it look like, two to see the store price. -[shrugs]-
that's just meh.
I tend to click on items to find store price, because I always have trouble to find them in the stores. sweatdrop

Some people are stupid and dont look at store prices. Often dont even know where to look. Someone should make an index.

I too click to see store price but still i hate seeing over priced commons.

Especially on the popular stuff i watch:

Including

g-lol mistress tops - all colours
fishnet stockings
Leg warmers

What a suprise it's mainly female commons.

Also cat tail
belts
fore jewels

included pimp canes

But yeah all these items have a store price of 2000g

People put them up for 1995 1990

A fairer price would be 1800 the other seems so greedy and manipulative

This is my view and i encourage more views.

I never really understood the not looking for store prices part. xD

But from my opinion, I'd rather buy an item that's about 10 gold less than the store prie rather than buy the store item. But many times I can't even find the item I'm looking for...which is surprising considering the number of gaians...

I think there are lists for you to check...but I often misplace the url...it's around here soemwhere...

I'd rather see overpriced commons than overpriced rares.
Common, you can go to store and buy them...
others...well..you can't xP

Very irritating. I like to add them to my ignore list if I feel like it. mad

It's true.
Alot of people want to take advantage of the fact that people like to save gold.
Saving 10 gold is still saving... xP

well true that those are kinda annoying xD;

well most of my time, when i sell commons it goes from -150 to -200+ depending on the item's popularity smile

*would rather wait or buy from shop if it were less than 100g off* xD heart


miew, but from what i see, more people are trying to sell the commons like that in exchange -_-;

I always sell about 70% of market if it's under 10k. 3nodding
PostPosted: Mon Feb 13, 2006 8:18 pm


For cheaper stores items I sell with 100 gold of the store price, if it's more expensive I usually take offers in the exchange with the AB really close to store price and end up taking less.

Selling a store item 50 gold under the store price isn't so bad you know? It may not seem like much to us but when you first start out it's quite a bit. ^^

xDD That's right.

If they think I'm going to buy their stuff which is only like a few g's cheaper than the store, I'd rather not save money at all.

@IBS: Wouldn't get anything accomplished. I like my method. Much more cruel. 3nodding
