General Discussion - Useless Gems (No value) - Forum

" ThorOtheBIG wrote: Nekro, my original response is to the OP, not you. Sorry if there was confusion. No problem, just wanted to be clear that to me at least, those common gems are not worth much. Of course you can always get something from a vendor. Lost to Apathy	Posted by Nekrogoblin77#0517 on Feb 7, 2013, 6:57:30 PM Quote this Post
Lol at the guy making the argument that 2 wisdom scrolls=value. They represent value like a penny in real life.	Posted by Montanx#4779 on Feb 8, 2013, 10:14:31 PM Quote this Post

I've had people try to sell me freezing pulse and ice spear for a chaos orb each. I just laughed and politely told them to go away. I have no problem with gem for gem trades and my stash is full of ones I dont need, but no one seems to want anything that isnt 'overpriced' for their gems. I currently need an Elemental Strike, Whirling Blades and Flicker Strike on my Shadow, but they arent important at all as he is doing just fine with Lightning Strike and Dual Strike.

Look, two wisdom scrolls may not be that much, but its better than 1 scrap. And I see absolutely no problem spending my small amount of time to sell them for such. I am trying to get alt shards at the moment and being able to identify all my blues and yellows its valuable to me. You may scoff and laugh but you dont understand how trading works. I need something, they need something. Regardless of price I am profiting and so are they. Do you have any other ways to profit better on gems that arent really sought after? Please, explain, otherwise kindly keep your ignorant comments to yourself. I am actually PROFITING. RIP Diablo franchise RIP Bird Lovers of Wraeclast <BLÔW> Congrats Chris & others for cashing out! I don't blame you. I'll be saving money now... unless I start making a lot more. Can't wait to see if you guys start a new studio in six years!

Additionally, you happen to be putting items into the market at reasonable prices, helping out new players. I agree with you on the Alt orb creation--frankly, in HC I could seriously use more Wis scrolls (because they keep getting lost to Default when a character dies...), so I've thought about doing the same thing. No need to defend yourself here. Alteration Orb Union Local #7 I'll smash your nose with 20 Alterations before I'll sell them for 1 lousy Chaos. 16:1. No questions.

Well, anything we will say will sound ILLOGICAL to you but still...Time is a value ( and the greatest if you ask me). Yes you make profit selling you gem, grats, but at another cost : Time. For what you gain, we consider that it's not worth it, you do. Fine. Moral of the story : We consider our time more valuable than you consider yours.
