So at work, peace and quiet
just looking into getting my Cisco certification since, with my experience in telecommunications and if I can get certified, opens up tons of doors for me and more $$$$. Friend just reached out that I used to work with. He is head of operations at bt (British telecom) and has some jobs opening up. I'd jump ship from where I am now to go work for bt in a heartbeat. Bt takes care of their people. Didn't even know they were In United States until my friend got a job there, he moved up the ranks quickly. Just remember in life,it is rarely what you know, but who you know.
Anyway person that added me on skype did come back today and spent another 10,600 fg, not bad. He has already spent about 37000 fg with me, and what did I do. I reinvested it right back into exalts cause I got a pm for 100 exalts at a really good price, again at this point you are going to see you fg go up and down, until it slows down (new league starts) and even after that, you will have a panick sell off for cheap because people are impatient and I will grab as many deals as possible. See then the people that were selling dirt cheap have no more exalts. And the price starts to rise slowly. So for awhile will probably be buying when league starts, but when it starts to rise to a certain point, then it is time to dump and make a good profit.
Trading, Jesus some people still do not get it. Listen, if a person has more then 100k fg then what in the fuck do you have to be scared about hitting accept first on a 4K transaction? Seriously scammers don't go around with a 100k fg. I have yet to see anyone with that much fg scam or be accused of it. If a person has a 2006 account with 50k posts 98% of the time you are fine, we all know it is illegal to sell your d2j account. Doesn't mean that it does happen either. Someone that has an account that old with that many posts is worth far greater in real $$$ then a5 or 10k transaction. Again it is illegal to sell your d2j account.
Now in the same sense, I don't give a flying fuck in your account is from 2004, if I have 150k fg and more posts then you. Screw you, you go first. Without the post count and the date, your account not worth nearly as much. You do not owe anyone 0 respect for the date of their account unless they have the post count to go with it, because then you know they are active. Fuck you and fuck your 2004 account. You go first. I am active and I have the fg.
If someone is offering way more then everyone else for just say exalts and has like 5k fg, this should be a red flag to you. Request a med, do not go first, and do not let greed get the best of you and make a poor choice. There are always other deals and trades to be made. Missing 1 is. It gonna make or break you. If you are right, then some poor sap that was greedy gets scammed and you do not. If you were wrong, admit it and apologize. Shit I have called people out in their own threads only to be wrong. And I apologized in their thread to them. But if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, usually it's a fucking duck, know what I mean?
Unlike other games where mentioning and confirming your d2j name and fg and the trade is acceptable. In Poe it is not, using d2j is a bannable offense. This is what amazes me since myself and most active traders have it right in our sig. Do not mention d2j in game and what do people do? You got it, hey it's so and so from d2j 500fg for 7 exalts. This is when you say Uhhh you have the wrong person, leave party and exit game and then ask the person on d2j what in the hell is the matter with you? Not looking to get banned.
Seriously the more you trade, the more you will get to the know the ins and outs and who you can hit that accept button first with and who you do not. There is only one true way to trade safe and that is to request a med. if someone is not willing to use a med to break up a trade into reasonable amounts. Walk, don't give a shit if that person is legit or not, walk. Just do not be like the person I saw the other day that wanted to buy 11 exalts and wanted to break it up Into 11 trades of 1 ex each, really? Unless I'm making a massive amount of fg on each 1 exalt trade, I'll pass. I have traded 1000 exalts in less trades then that. Also do look at a persons recent posts, they may not have a large,post count and they might even have a newer account but you can see that they are selling shit in Poe to go buy d2j stuff. Treat each trade unique unless you have had multiple dealings with the person. Because each trade is unique and people are unique. Each one is different and a couple of clicks takes 2'seconds to find out just a little bit about the person you are about to trade with.
That is it for now, trade safe. If it doesn't sit right with, request a med or walk. Fg does not go bad
any questions or any doubts about trading with a player? Pm me and I'll give you my honest opinion on what I would do. 99% of my posts have been nothing but trading. I could easily have 15k posts by now by going to general chat or posting bullshit in every thread I see like a lot of people do. Most of my interactions on a personal level come from pms. The 5600 posts are all business. Which most people who have 20k posts probably do not have that many posts for just trading.
Until next time, be safe and trade safe.
