I don't measure my self worth by my pixel count, but I didn't accumulate my fairly substantial pile of platinum pieces by giving it to scammers such as yourself.

In fact I have a circlet of shadow on my Necromancer twink and it is convenient here and there but I barely use it. It was only really overpowered during the days of invis pulling years ago.

offer 10k

we all know you didn't sell shit at 30k

doesnt matter how rich you are, why the fuck would you pay 30k when you can easily get one for 25k?

Poor people thought process. When you're rich, you can afford the extra 5k to save time... because a wealthy person's time is valuable.

Research a concept called 'Opportunity Cost', and it may click.

Opportunity Cost is about investments and evaluating returns between options.

You be talking oucha booty hole.

Rich people don't stay rich by overpaying for things.

The rich didn't get rich by throwing money around. And once you form the habits it requires to become rich, you're not going to lose them overnight. That's why Warren Buffett still uses coupons at McDonalds. (https://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/17/warren-buffett-once-paid-for-bill-gates-mcdonalds-meal-with-coupons.html)

Not all people remain minimalist when they attain wealth. After a while, you see that you can afford yourself some comforts without sacrificing your future. There exists a balance.

That awkward moment when you don't know who you're talking to... read a book.

The best money-making business model is not to spend six months hording a single item, then gouging it to an extra 15k per sale (if you're lucky enough to find someone desperate enough to buy at that price). I've found that the best business model involves return customers... people who are genuinely happy with their transactions, not people who feel they are being forced to overpay. My customers come back. Yours hate you lmao. I guess it doesn't matter when you keep remaking new merchant toons and hiding behind an unrelated forum username. I'm Octavian on the forums, Octavion in game, Oct is my main and only toon, and I've never used another in the time since starting. When you treat people well, run an honest business, and aren't a douche, you don't need to hide ;)

Also, for anyone else sick of this behavior, /auction WTS Circlet of Shadow 10k ... this will change the wiki price back to normal, just make sure logs are on. Be sure to keep replying to these threads with reasonable offers (or the hilarious 300k offers too), and when someone auctions a CoS at an unreasonable price /tell them your offer of 10k. Don't let them off easy.

Sincerely,

A very poor individual. Please send money.

@Octavion, How come you are always trying to buy CoS's then and never selling them, Practice what you preach bro.

@Octavion, How come you are always trying to buy CoS's then and never selling them, Practice what you preach bro.

I was very clear in my post about why I was buying them and what I was doing with them. Bought a few between 10-13k, sold them at cost to people who proved they were playing high lvl SK/NEC's. I did not profit one plat from CoS sales. I am no longer buying pre-nerf CoS's because no one is selling them at reasonable prices. I know you didn't actually care about the answer though, you're just trying to accuse me of being a gouger myself... but show me one instance in which I've ever gouged a price on any item literally once ever, and I'll quit EQ ;) I've always sold my items for well under the wiki average and I always beat competitor prices. You'll never convince anyone that I'm a scammer, hoarder, or gouger, but nice try <3

You on the other hand...

(PN) CoS 35k

OBO


No wonder you're trying to come after me lol ... since you posted OBO, my offer is 10k for your pre-nerf CoS. Lemme know!

[Torik]

I've always sold my items for well under the wiki average

This is the business model I try to run with and it has served me well. When I have the opportunity to buy an item well below the EC average, I do it and I price it at the low end of the EC tunnel price. This allows me to sell the item quickly, and reinvest the pp I made into other items.

For example, a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to buy a Skyfury Scimitar for 3k. I put it up for auction and relisted it at 4k (well below the EC average). Another reseller bought it from me an hour later and immediately put it up for 5k. It took him two weeks to sell it after lowering the price to 4.8k. I made 1k off the investment in one hour. It took him two weeks to make 800pp.

In that two weeks I was able to reinvest my earnings and more than double my 1k profit. I wonder how long it will take the other reseller to double his 800pp.. maybe another two weeks?

Exactly... everyone wins. The person selling gets to sell quickly and leave tunnel, you get to make a good profit on resale, and the buyer of your item is thrilled at the cost below market and will remember your name. People remember gougers names too, but for other reasons lol... that's why they have to keep cycling toons. Idk why they can't see that an honest, friendly approach is better for their bottom line as well. Oh well /shrug

Some of us dont ever leave the tunnel.

Opportunity cost is the money you would be losing out on through the transaction. Hint "opportunity cost." What you said was completely wrong lol. Nice try though, stay in school kid.

The opportunity cost is what the wealthy person could do with their time by paying a higher price. Nice try? No. You failed and are dumb.

I really do suggest you Google the term next time.

Why do convenience stores sell items for more than they cost in a grocery store?

The opportunity cost is the value of the best alternative. The alternative to buying from a reseller is sitting in the tunnel and auctioning. In other words, the opportunity cost refers to the fact that our circlet-crazed SK/Necro is probably willing to acquire it in multiple ways, but can only pick one as they only need one.

From glorious wikipedia:

Say you have a free ticket to a concert by Band X. The ticket has no resale value. On the night of the concert your next-best alternative entertainment is a performance by Band Y for which the tickets cost $40. You like Band Y and would usually be willing to pay $50 for a ticket to see them. What is the opportunity cost of using your free ticket and seeing Band X instead of Band Y?

The benefit you forgo (that is, the value to you) is $10: the $50 benefit of seeing Band Y less the ticket cost of $40.

Also, I 100% agree with Octavian. Not much point to having millions of platinum if you are hated by the whole server.

The foregone benefit is time. You pay higher price and don't haggle/watch to see if someone undercuts.
