Items are not gold bars

[Toxigen]

the plat must flow

[magnetaress]

There should be yearly plat deflation where the computer annually deletes 99% of everyone's plat and then redistributes it evenly among all accounts.

Just respond with the same item they want to trade and it will cancel the other out simple math.

If you don't like the deal, just say no.

No need to be a little bitch about it.

But I do agree with Enjchanter about prices. Typically if I do plat + items, I'll throw in more plat to undervalue the items, so people can get extra plat in total if they sell the items for market price. Sweetens the deal for people who don't need the items.

I do the same thing. If I’m adding an item with a fair market value of say 6k … I’ll only credit it as like 4K so they can make a profit.

This is the correct way to include an item in trade.

The only nuance is that some items are nearly impossible to sell. Thusly should be valued no more than 50% of estimated worth imo

Pras.

If I want a thing that someone else has and lack the raw plat to buy it I ... ALWAYS ... make sure any items I offer to compensate are sharply lower than lowest average market values to cover the difference.

This was less of an issue 4-8 years ago when my server (blue) was more populated and with a more robust economy.

These days the problem with EC isn't a lack of funds - its finding a seller for what I want or a buyer for the goods I have to barter/sell.

[Troxx]

The last few buys I've wanted aren't exactly expensive but I work all day and the chances of finding them in EC when I'm on - not the best. Its nice to have the ability to be flexible to get what i need to get when a seller is available - whether i have the raw plat at the time or not.

sounds like you should tell the person doing this and not a bunch of random people who never did this. But yeah whatever works for you my man.
