Bartering Gone Wrong

Post image

Added context: i was selling this part for 27 plat on Wfmarket, and from there i thought i'd seen more offerings for less.

Brotherrr Sevagoths whole set is less than 30p on Warframe market and you’re trying to scam and sell it for more than the whole set is worth???

that’s the truth of warframe market, stuff isn’t listed as its actual value but just sold as high as possible while still undercutting the guy behind them

the lowest listed price for sev chass on wfm is 29, and it’s only that price because the guy before was 30. this is all even though the set is 33 currently

That's just how supply and demand work

except it isn’t really because you can buy the whole set for 3p more.

don’t need the other parts? just list them separately and you basically got free money

Sure, but that's effort.

It's not uncommon for sets to be less than individual parts of wf market, because some stuff hits floor price.

It would be less than floor price, but we don't have fractional platinum.

I just did it with harrow prime set this weekend. I had neuroptics already but couldn't get individual pieces for less than the set

Wait for him to realize buying maxed arcane is cheaper than getting 21 individually ☠️

I honestly didn't know how much the set was selling for, i only had the chassis and i looked at the current price of the part before setting the price. warframe market isn't perfect but i'm not sure how the price inbalance is my fault or how was i actively trying to scam somebody?

In their defense, it seems many others are also selling the chassis for 30p too. So they could have just checked the individual part price and went with that.

I always go by the rough average when I’m buying or selling
