WTB an item? Know what you paying for it.

[Lhancelot]

Random Tunnel Buyer: WTB *** pst!

Me: I got ***, what did you have in mind for your offer on it?

RTB: I don't know. Let me look it up on P99. One sec."

10 minutes pass

RTB "I can't find what it's worth."

2 minutes pass

Me: Ok, I can tell you what it's worth. It's worth 5k-6k. I will take 5.5k for it.

1 minute passes

Me: Ok I got stuff to do, will sell it later. If you interested, send a tell for it.

RTB: Kk.




FFS, please have an idea what you willing to buy an item for, and communicate with the seller when you are WTB something.

Lately I have had the most ridiculous interactions with people in the tunnel... It's as if they think you got 15 minutes to twiddle your thumbs waiting on them to figure shit out.

Another issue I can't stand is the bank run that literally takes 20-30 minutes. The worst thing to hear the guy say when he agrees to buy your item is, "Ok, just got to run to the bank BRB". I instantly think, oh my god, here it goes. 15-30 minutes of wait time.

Yesterday I had somebody send me an offer for a Bat Skull Earring offering 125p out of 175p.

I accepted and then they sent me a message asking me to hold onto it for a little bit because they may buy a Black Sapphire Earring instead.

All my 'wut?'s

I'd eat it and tell them they could have it when I was finished with it.

Yeah, this kind of stuff. People are obviously oblivious to life outside their own cranium. Clearly the entire world is revolving around their own wants and needs, and they may or may not express exactly what those wants and needs are in any sort of sensible manner to you.

If you came out and said this at first you would have saved yourself a lot of time and headache. Instead, you chose to take a chance to see if you could rip this guy off.

If I'm selling items in the tunnel, I already have a price in mind for my wares and I don't mind putting that price out there first. I'm not much of a haggler though. My prices are generally firm, but not steep and I never have these issues with buyers. Either they go for my price or they don't. You know, just like shopping almost anywhere outside of virtual elf sim.

Maybe I'm just playing devil's advocate here.. But if you didn't have a lot of time couldn't you just meet them at the bank?

All of these problems you're going on about could be fixed by you, but you blame the buyer instead. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Think you missed the part where OP wasnt advertising. He was responding to a WTB advertisement...

Yeah...

If my intention was to rip him off I wouldn't have told him what it was worth and what I would take for it once it was clear he was clueless what the item was worth 10 minutes after we began communicating.

He could have saved me time, by telling me up front that he had no idea what it was worth, and asking me how much I'd take for it, and/or what he was willing to pay for it. He obviously had an idea in his head, or he wouldn't have balked at the price I ended up throwing to him.

It goes both ways. I easily could have lied, and said "oh, it's worth 10k man, I will give you a deal for 8k though!" Just to see if he would do that. I did not do that. That would be trying to rip him off.
