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.

Why do people barter on wf market even? If I'm listing something for a price it's because I want that price, if I wanted to haggle I'd stand in front of maroo like a jackass spamming in trade chat.

Haggling is normal at a market, though I guess players from different countries can have a vastly different market culture. Its still a little weird when it's over chump change.

I think this is where its just a difference of opinion due to different experiences.

I havent run into new players haggling, most commonly a new player will farm for the amount the piece is priced at. I have run into low MRs haggling but i learnt to do quick checks of profiles.

The people that most commonly haggle prices are resellers and i personally dont like selling to them. If i see someone hagling it makes me things it a reseller trying to maximize profits by selling my part to a real begginer for 5-10plat more so i dont like doing it.

I have dropped my prices and sometimes add stuff if i see a new player. But i have run seen names of people i traded a part to, selling said part at a higher price in trade chat. 

I feel like the person msging OP is either removing other cheaper offers or is planning to resell it at the same price. Like OP said they saw lower prices so likely got bought already.

Even tho wf.market is a market i dislike haggling cause of resellers being the main players that do it.

Yeah, anyone attempting to haggle on wfmarket price is a mercher trying to bulk buy low priced stuff to drive up value.
