You have no right to say something isn't worth any amount of money if someone else is willing to pay for it. I've had several nice offers but I'm looking for more offers before I part with it.

Lol at this tard price gouging because "A LOT" of people have "A LOT OF MONEY SITTING AROUND". Ok derppppp, just because they have a lot of money sitting around doesn't mean they are going to blow a huge chunk of it on an item that has hardly any game changing stats. It's not like that idol will make a warrior all of a sudden a god at tanking. I crack up when these idiots try and price gouge just because they think these rich power gamers will throw there money in any direction to have an item early on in the game. Sell the damn item for what it should be worth, nobody gives a rats ass that you got one early. Like people trying to sell Ornate Rune Shield for 30k a week ago when they should of just listed it for 5k and been done with it. Stop trying to rob people blind because you think everyone is an impulsive child on here when it comes to their spending.

You, sir, are the idiot and obviously have taken over the trolling job.

Ask somebody familar with the server, like Bob, about pricing in a market. You can sell an item for whatever somebody will pay for it. Also, when you are the first to sell an item, it really depends on the interest in the item and what people offer before you can find an accurate market price.

I'm not repeating this again. I'm not price gouging - and that's comical considering you have no idea what offers I have received or what I am looking for. I'm taking serious offers at this point - that is all.

You have absolutely no right to insult somebody because they auction an item for any reason. It just makes you look like the idiot.

Your opinion is your own and that's fine. I feel many, including myself, would disagree with you. I've already had people make very nice offers - so obviously you're wrong.

P.S. The guy that probably made 20-30k for that "Ornate Rune Shield" - what do you say to him? "Grats! I wish I had an ornate rune shield, too?"

People throw out the term "price gouging" when ever they just don't like the price of an item or don't have enough to afford it. There is a little thing called supply and demand. When you are the first/only seller of a particular item you can name your price. If just one person wants that first item and is willing to pay that price to be "the first", then the transaction should be completed. Otherwise the first seller will have to drop his price until a willing buyer is found. After that first sale, if no one else in that economy is willing to pay that initial price, the second one on the market will necessarily have to come down in price. Once enough of the particular item has entered the market, it will come to an equilibrium of supply and demand and a normal price range will be solidified (granted there will be people willing to sell for less to dump fast and people willing to pay more to acquire quickly).

Cliffs: You either buy the item at the price asked, make a counter, or go without. There is no need to continue to call out people for selling items.

P.S. To the people claiming this is a TMO sale need to step back from their keyboards and take a breath; the OP is obviously anonymous and never mentioned which guild they may or may not be associated with of the 3 (or more) that have been in Droga since the Kunark launch. Additionally, the OP may even be *gasp* a reseller from someone else that was at the camp. Anything posted by the trolls in this thread is purely speculation, unfounded rumors, and extreme jealously.

Obviously lots of people are interested in this item, already being at 600 views and not even a day old yet.

I might just head down there and camp one myself, have to see what this goes for...

Such greed among some people on this server, such as the op.

Sad...

I dont think this is why it has so many views.

Nice item....
 
Ey, this item is AWESOME. I mean, Boston-More-than-a-Feeling Awesome.

If I were like ona those young doctor, over-educated, square lookin fellas in the RL PICS thread, with the fancy collared shirt and snappy haircut an all, and could legitimately spend some real life cash on in game currency for dis project, I would buy ona these bad boys for 150k, as easilly as I can put on a pair of headphones, and crank up Bat out of Hell.

I meant to add in disc jockey after the over-educated part...cause that's what those people in the RL PICS thread remind me of...over educated disk jockeys.

Oh Azuth. You troll us just as much by posting an outrageous price and demanding respect for it. If you really want to come to the EC forum looking to take advantage of people then you better get ready for the critical posts that inevitably follow. It's part of the job description.

Really though.. If I have no right to criticize your outrageous price then you have no right to post it. Fair is fair.

Shaken 04-01-2011 07:43 PM

FYI, it'll be worthless just like all the kunark items in another month. End of story
