Here I want to identify a frequent problem at JSP with few examples.

Since newcomers and infrequent users might not be familiar with item prices - more likely ranges, there is a typical scam-type attitude we all observe especially for the last 2 season.

First i will give the last two example of the same item and describe with citations.

Example 1 :
Topic : https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=83553118&f=169&p=560509569#p560509569
Item : Ap 15 Ed 3 sox

A newcomer, platemate opened that topic to sell his item with his own sale price; which was 400 fgs.
Please check the 2nd comment.



Asskicker55 is a known Jsp user at East. I will not tell what was aim on posting that comment. He needs profit, he needs the market crashed.

(Some people are also opening funny topics; more likely - Jah Bin 50 fgs - and their friends, brothers, or theirselves (alt+tab) binning at the same moment. However there is no sale. Just fake topics to crash market and influence the rest to follow that trend; mostly impacts %10 price reduction in a short term. Means %10 profit for them. How they're making that profit? That's another topic. I assume everybody knows.



Platemate is right, few more sold at 400-600 fgs price range in 24 hours.



Here i reminded one critical issue. His item = His price. And that item is already the most desired armor type and very rare at the moment.





Happy ending. Sold at the value seller desired. Thanks to mike_litoris binned before few more lowballs arrive there.
Asskicker55 and some other may feel sad about that.

Example 2 :
Topic : https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=83566543&f=169&p=560502586#p560502586
Item : Archon Plate 15/15 - 3 sox

^kerser11 - probably hates me because of a Faith GMB issue (he lowballed me a bit ) previous season opened that topic to sell his total perfect base.

A bunch of lowball offers (100ish ^^ ) made me start that item at a good value that this item deserves;









Mentioned there and pm'ed kerser11 with the price range that armor deserves.

And he asked me if i can buy the item.


There are numerous examples; happening almost everyday, especially happening at rare items (once i'm asked to buy a 1k+ value ring for 350 fgs because i started over lowballs - told the value of the ring would be / luckily he believed and changed his mind to give it another try with setting bin at 700ish fgs / sold for 750 fgs / ^Cercei bought that beautiful ring)

That seller was also tired of lowballs, and once i throw %50 of the value as starting number (trimming lowballs) - that happened.

Hereby, i offer that as a free service, with the final citation from the mentioned topics.




P.S. Thanks to the people, those are always blaming me for "gauging" prices, etc.

We all understand why they feel sad and to be sincere, just pity.

Please do not forget, it's just a game and enjoy it.

Thanks.

Don’t forget how many new comers u ripped. Promote good manners

Sounds like someone is mad that supply and demand dictates cheaper prices in a game economy where value can be created through the use of electricity.

wheres the tldr version this shit is a story

While you're here I just wanted to post a mini rant about how I feel about this d2jsp economy. Mind you this is coming from a guy who before this ladder season hasnt played in almost 10 years.

ALL of you selling items like (lets say 30+ life ele and pnb gcs) for 30-50 FG and lower.

Do you realize

1 FG = roughly 3.4 cents per (if you're buying forum gold form d2jsp)

This means you are selling your ele or pnb gc or whatever the fuck it is for roughly 90 cents.

Idk about most of you, but I don't even turn on my computer for a 90 cent trade, i don't even wanna begin with you people doing 5fg trades, you realize you're wasting your time with a 15 cent trade? Like your time could be better spent watching paint dry. I truly dont understand, so maybe someone explain to me.

I don't understand what happened to this d2 economy to make it so bad but god damn, its almost just not even worth playing.

Cant find PK games, items are worth absolute shit. I know this probably means nothing to any of you and maybe its because there are so few players and so many items, simple supply and demand economics but damn did it have to die so fast?

Some of us play for fun. You either have to have an IQ below 100 or one above 140 to sell d2 items and expect to profit. Midwits get the rope. I am having a blast getting items that formerly were unavailable for a few dollars. Yes, I remember the $50 Windforce on eBay days.

yah i just wanna see the spreadsheet

Haha this
