Let me tell you a story.

I pm'd a guy yesterday about an item I wanted. Its a legacy item without many people selling it (about 100 sellers online), and many of the prices seemed outdated. The guy I pm'd didnt have a price listed so I started by simply asking him his price.

Furd: Price?
Him: Offer? :wallbash:
Furd: 5ex, thats what the first few ones listed are going at - how does that sound?
Him: Fuck you, adding you to ignore list.

Its as if the guy selling doesnt even want to sell his own item. No offer is too low if the buyer is realistically interested in the item. You just say "I was looking for Y, lets negotiate. Instead you have a hoard of bread dead children getting personally offended because you didnt magically guess the number they had in their head.

This shit happens ALL THE FUCKING TIME. As a seller you have to have some inkling of the value of the item youre selling if youre looking for an offer (if not just say its not for sale, or youre not sure). If you didnt know what your item is worth you would have no idea if my offer is good and worth taking or shit and worth ignoring. 90% of the dumbasses that respond "offer?" to a question of "how much for X" are just lying in wait for you to overbid and then get disappointed when you inevitably dont.

Imagine you walk into a cornerstore looking for a loaf of bread and when you get to the counter the cashier says: "offer?" And then he shouts you out of the store when you dont offer more than what the ther guy down the street charges.

Trading in this game is fucking cancer. Its possible to make bank flipping from people that dont know better, and an AH would ruin that, but id happily exchange some profit margin for the lack of Glioblastoma

Oh, and not to mention you cant even sell a thing without actually being online...

you probably lowballed him

I didnt, I promise you

I never offer less than the value of an item i actually need, I dont want them to run away. usually I overbid.

ok well clearly he thought you were lowballing him lol

yes clearly he did, even though i wasnt, but theres no way to continue a conversation and come to any different conclusions as soon as he decides to ignore.

my main problem is with the bm idiots that infest this game, that feel personally attacked when i dont magically guess the number they had in mind, rather than you know, starting a dialogue

With an AH, at least as a seller you know what to sell for, and as a buyer you dont have to talk to anyone

stash management is simple and not a problem
so yeah I'd play anyway

they already said it wont be so this poll is really the only stupid thing here and there will never be an auction house, nor should there.

i have a trade story too! i wanted to buy an item that was listed as 1c, pmed the guy "hello, i wanna buy that item listed for 1c etc" and he was like "offer"? i was like "well umm...1c?". so he was like "its worth more than 1c wtf", and i was like "well yeah but you listed it as 1c so...yeah...". then he was like "well i listed 1c just to see how much people would offer", so i ofc said that people wouldnt offer more than 1c if he listed it as 1c :mellow:

then he started pming me some really nasty things :cry: !
