I’m saying this as a trader, not a Mod. Pleikki please don’t say things like this for a price check. It sets unrealistic expectations. Just because you wouldn’t sell for less doesn’t mean the owner wouldn’t. The price these could sell for might not be worth it to you, but to others that could be a colossal amount of money and enough to achieve more than they could expect in this game. Your minimum, as a wealthy and seasoned trader, is likely to be very different from someone who hasn’t got unlimited wealth.
You’re basically picking a random number out of thin air which you’d be happy with and applying that number out of context to the seller, whose circumstances could be very different from your own. It’s misleading, and you’re making huge assumptions about the seller.
“This item could sell for X” is fine.
“I wouldn’t sell below X” sets unrealistic expectations.
And your standard reply of “in my experience” or “over time I’ve sold these for” just isn’t relevant in these circumstances. Just stick to what it could be worth, not your own out-of-context random minimum sale prices. It’s misleading and sets unrealistic expectations.
Hey, thank you for your feedback as fellow trader.
I am here trying to figure out the motivation for this feedback tho, could you enlighten me?
With my price checks, i am trying help people returning best i can, i use reference prices and personal opinions because i dont know of better way to put some numbers up, or should i really put them from thin air?
Yes, i know some assumptions are made, but the main point on price check section is gather opinions, im not only only one giving price checks and everyone else is free to do so also. All i am trying to do is avoid these people returning to get ripped of spectacularly, in todays market it doesnt work saying "post for sale" since only 1/5 cases or less the prices actually reach to number items can with time and ingame selling etc, since the market is dead.
Should the newcomer or guy returning be the one paying for that? I personally think the older community, traders collectors and ppl buying rarer items should help the people returning with paying fair price for their possibly only thing valuable, why should the ppl buying be the ones gaining profits?
i've had alot thanks for my price checks from returning ppl, and theyve told me how bad some others treated them and didnt want to come back because of that, i only get negative comments from the wealthy people who want buy things cheap and take advantage of the new comers.
Until there is better way to help the ppl, i will keep using minimal prices, its minimal price for a reason so i wouldn't put unrealistic hopes, because in many cases things sell much higher then those, but in the end its the owners decision to let go item for less or more, i dont take that away from the people with using reference prices, im simply trying the best i can help those who ask for help.
Now this would be trash to most
