>make an offer>he responds "Oh I got a bigger offer from someone else">he's obviously lying and trying to bait you into a bidding war with no one>tell him to just seal the deal with this fake other sellerHate this shit.
>>732208751>sells an in-demand item in global chat>gets multiple messages>tells them that it was sold in x price>people gets desperate>in reality I did not sell it to anyone but it's a way to increase its price by 50%>logs into an alt and shout the item again for sale but with 50% price marked up>gets sold right away
selling items in warframe is such a fucking hassle i genuinely wish we had an auction house so i could just dump the shit i dont need and not have to sit and camp trade chat to try and get more than 15 plat for a full warframe set
>>732210170>selling items in warframe is such a fucking hassleUse the marketplace. However even then there's no escaping needing to be online and afk 24/7 waiting for a DM if your item isn't in demand. DE really should have jumped on the ascynchronous trade bandwagon the instant that Path of Exile 2 did it.
>>732209276>Yes
>>732209276why do they ask that?
>>732208890reported scammer
>>732212654In hopes you ask for something lower than what they actually pay.
>I'll buy your item>sure>*declines trade*>sry sold it
>>732210170>>732210282>have the power to farm for hours without getting bored>farm some ridiculously rare shit thanks to this>try to sell in game or that market website>people want it almost for free>"price too high are you crazy?">couple of lower offers for the same item magically appear in chat and marketYes motherfucker, I'm crazy because I'm the only bastard who dares to farm that shit for people like you, who are too lazy to do it. Pay the price for being lazy or get the fuck off.This is one of, if not THE reason I stopped playing a few years ago.Game was fun and everything, but goddamn, you named the price for something and then came a few retards claiming to also have the item at an extremely lower price, thinking I was going to desperately lower it. Fuck you, now I won't sell you shit.

>>732213006that's how it's supposed to workin real life I mean
>>732213006Well yeah. Wanna know why overpopulated third world has cheap labour.
>>732213006You're one step away from market dominance, buy them out and list at your original price. I controlled a wow servers herb market at the start of legion this way pretty easy. You can also do a fun trick where you sell bulk cheaper per unit than small stacks so you make even more profit from the small timers who only need a bit.
>>732213272this, never undercut, just buy them out
>>732213049>what the suck?>what the bitch?What the fuck are you saying retard?
>>732213559More like want to sneed and want to bitch since that's what's really going to happen

>>732213941enjoy your pennies kiddo, the big boys are talking
>>732213941Yeah everyone wins, you can get your profit from your labor of farming and I can get my profit from my labor of selling, that's what makes capitalism so great
>>732214049>>732214045Just keep buying I'm sure more won't get put up and you have to buy those tooJUST KEEP BUYING!! :)
>>732214118Yeah I will for the first few months of the xpac and later on just tuesday morning :)
>>732208751>yeah il buy it just C.O.D. it to me>nigger waits days to open the mailhated that shit
I used to sell rare items really cheaply so players would travel across the whole map to me and when they opened the trade window I logged off.
>>732212654If you offer above what they're willing to pay they will counteroffer with their original idea, or straight up discard youIf you offer below what they had in mind, well better for them, if they're nice maybe they will pay you slightly higher to make you think you're not getting scammed
In WoW, I like to sell shit for 75% so I can get a sale immediately rather than sitting around spamming world chat.
>>732208890bye
>>732213006>rare thing>enough stock in the market to be worthless

>offer him triple market price >tell him to come to me after moving to the most inconvenient place possible>say brb right before he gets there>never come back
>>732213272This works only as long as demand meets supply, and then one day you wake up with 2 entire banks worth of goldclover that no one wants to buy.The trick is to do it with items that aren't or can't be commonly farmed, but are in regular, if inconsistent, demand. I made hundreds of gold while leveling in TBC by flipping deadly blunderbuss, because they're traded for a blue item in a quest in Ashenvale. But who the fuck is going out of their way to craft deadly blunderbuss? Once I made enough from the guns, I started to control the entire server's supply of silver ore, since the spawns are so rare but it's valuable for leveling professions. You cannot go out and actively farm silver ore, it just trickles into the economy from players who are leveling and those who are trying to farm other ores.
>offer 15% less than the auction house price, which is what he'd get after the auction house cut anyway>lol blocked
>>732215474Yeah you obviously have to be smart about it, for example I only do herb market resets early in the xpac and also on raid reset day. I am a fan of quest requirement camping though, in FFXIV the fishing system is pretty fun so I didn't mind getting several of the ultra-rare fish needed to level the fishing class that completionists will go straight to the AH for. There's no real reason to get them otherwise and the quest requirement means basically every one that's caught is already meant for their own quest, so on the rare occasion someone else lists a fish I just buy that too. I actually like FFXIVs auction house since the server hopping makes arbitrage fun especially with materia

>>732214801i never thought about like this
>>732219031Fuck this was me with an extra pair of Guld Milla I had. I knew they were rare but I wasn't interested in anything else to trade them, and obviously wasn't going to give them away for free. Being a hoarder is the worst.
>>732208890This kills the trade nigger.
offert
>>732208890LMAO>logs out
>>732208751If someone says offer I hit them with the lol
>>732208751I dont even get that. Do they hope they get a retard overpricing the item?If they want to make a profit they should just offer average price +10-15%. At best the retards agree because of scarcity of said item and at worst you you haggle down to market price or slightly below.
>>732215474>This works only as long as demand meets supply, and then one day you wake up with 2 entire banks worth of goldclover that no one wants to buy.thats when you get thrall on the phone and ask the taxpayer to bail you out, stupid

>>732223331The only fun times I've had in MMOs is fucking with people in trade markets. It was my bread and butter in runescape before they ruined it.

>>732223452>buying used cheeto stained gaming related things at all
>>732223749Why would a video game have cheeto dust
when this runescape in minecraft server came out I grinded 90 mining and smithing to make rune platebodies and sell them on the grand exchange for 3x the price that the guy in edgeville sells them for because I knew people would be too lazy to go run over there themselves and buy one. and I made hella bank. made the mistake of sharing this idea with people who were like "haha no one is going to do that that sounds retarded" and then they copied me soon enough. lesson is kids, ALWAYS factor in peoples' laziness whenever you have a marketing scheme or product.
Most of my game time in warframe was buying and reselling stuff
>>732213272Did this in runescape on the GE with gems. neverending buy order at average market price while constantly selling at max price. Emeralds were the fastest movers so I stuck with them and made a fortune. Probably wouldn't work these days.

I just haggled for an artbook online with a private seller and after asking if he could use something to reinforce it besides a cheap bubble mailer (which is 100% going to rape a paperback book) he sent me a massive fucking wall of text patronizing me and calling me rude for a grand total of 2 or 3 back and forth emails of a completely reasonable request This fucking kike messaged ME out of the blue and insisted I offer a price for the book first because I mentioned it in a general chatEvery single merchant deserves to be strung up on a lightpole by their testicles
