I don't always ask the seller, especially if I know it's already a good price. But whats wrong with negotiating? I would rather spend 5c than 10c. It doesn't hurt to ask. You can always say no. EDIT: I just reread your post. Are you saying that you list an item at 10c and they come back and say something like this "I'll take your b/o at 5c"? If that's what you mean, yes that's a little slimy. Yes that is what they are doing. Creator of the Praxis ring. Want to stop power creep? Gut crit chance and crit multi.

ok, there's no need to get hostile guys. What's happening here is people offering to b/o an item at a lower price than he listed it at but being a little slippery about it. I think the OP is just offering it to us as a warning to watch out for. Rose: You're an alien? You sound like you're from the North. Doctor: LOTS of planets have a North!!!

Not a tactic I use, I just negotiate or pay B/O, but if you can create an edge within the rules many traders will do so happily. Capitalism = I can get ahead, at your expense. Communism = I can get ahead, if I'm in a position of power? Still in the alpha stage, but at least build diversity isn't an issue: https://wolcengame.com/home/	Posted by JNF on Sep 18, 2014, 10:18:54 AM Quote this Post

You already earned your spot, coming back and pretending otherwise is a bit sad :) EDIT: Your argument is without merit btw. What these people are trying to do is the equivalent of someone walking into a shop with a price sticker gun and labeling a product at a discount and then going to the owner and asking to buy the product at the "listed" price.
