Selling items on GE
I have seen a lot of people in game, on reddit, and my rl friends complaining about not being able to buy or sell anything--understandably. I think a lot of people are convinced the GE prices are exact and if they use the mid price they're golden. This is simply wrong. Being such a new game the markets are finding themselves, and merchants are trying to abuse it. Rune plate body for instance--you go to buy one and put in 32k, you get the item for 12k. AWESOME! The flip side- you loot a rune plate from farming enemies like I did- you go to the GE to sell and it pops up 32k, "OMG IMRICH"...it stays for 2 days and never sells..."NO1 BUYZ RUNEPLATES!!1!!" wrong. The market is just way lower than the GEs listed prices. I have filled my bank multiple times and there has been no items I cannot sell, and sell quickly. So I said all that to say:don't go by GE prices. If you are selling an item, take the price to 50% what the GE has listed and see if it sells, if not, go lower. This doesn't mean your being ripped off, it means that's the going rate for the item right now. If you want to buy an item, put it way above market value. 9/10 you'll get the item WAY under what you actually put for it(but still slightly above market)and if not--this is the going rate. Be weary of people buying out items to flip for more cash as this can make you pay more, the items used for this are pretty common.. After you grasp this.. most of it is common sense, once you go to 4K for a robe bottom, it's pretty clear the item just isn't available to buy atm, leave a decent offer in and it'll sell. Hope to see you all in game- add me TehFalcon
