So after reading you're response, you completely missed my initial point... this post has NOTHING to do with the seller not knowing the price of their item,items etc... and to go even further with stating there are tons of auction style posts on here..... Now back to my original statement... What i'm referring to specifically... Say you are selling a whole toon... you don't put ANY bin/res.... you get a starting offer of 1k, then 2k... You already have an idea of wanting closer to 5k! Now your toon may be worth every bit of that 5k... So then you state, "I have gotten a pm offer of 4k via pm" even tho YOU NEVER DID.... you would simply be trying to escalate their offers to where you was wanting it.. so you then put a bin of 5/6k (which ever you'd like for your own thought on this scenario okay?) and a res of 4k, and that you'd sell within 30 mins... Now this creates a false sence of urgency that they then have 30 mins to bid/bin this item or they lose it.. But the thing is, they aren't actually gonna lose it because you essentially shot yourself in the foot... You then begin messaging the other folks who offer creating a sense of shadow wars with a bidder that is just simply you creating false offers/counter offers to simply try and get them closer to your overall goal. This type of action should essentially be a scam, specially if someone brings it to the post publically because they notice the stuff isn't simply adding up. specially if the package should've already been sold after the 30 mins that has gone by but you're still actively seeking a buyer.
You an the other person are stating how high ticket items are sold, i'm already aware of this. I personally have no issue with selling via pm, or even linking in a game and do a trade with some freshly found loot and someone happens to have a jsp in game and offers you some fg for it. This happens to me quite often when i'm running chaos games for public. I don't mind that, thats not what this post is specifically about... You are just missing the overall point. I'm not ignorant on the rules either because i've had to go thru them on several occasions to make sure my own self was covered and that i wasn't actually breaking forum rulings after being told I was. What you're claiming isn't actually a rule, well hate to tell ya buddy, it is... anything written in that forum rule is actually a rule for the forum.. Now whether or not its heavily enforced is a seperate matter.... I've seen many a S/A threads involving Discord/JSP pm's in and resulting in the accused being banned, even tho it states no trading via pm's. Its more on how much proof you have, but again thsi is a seperate matter than of what i'm originally talking about...
False sense of urgency is always created in “business” deals.
This whole thing is about who has the most and best information.
We aren’t missing the point. You are.
If you don’t like to participate in a market where prices aren’t transparent, then don’t be on jsp.
Prices on almost everything isn’t transparent. Incrwsinf the price of something so you then mark it down by 20% so it’s at your original sale price happens all the time.
Going to the car dealership where they just say msrp now only to come back and say the price is higher “cuz market”.
Etc etc.
Life is not fair. Jsp isn’t fair.
