It's much better when they copy paste from poe.trade

Welcome to the internet, and a F2P forum, where this is more true than ever.
Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

As a trader myself i always respond to a whisper. Even if im in a rotation, dailies or map, find a safe place and whisper back 'be with you in five ten mins just in..........' 9/10 people are happy to wait.
Politeness goes a long way.......

Well I guess I got some bonus points, since when I did respond and told him it was not a low roll and I wasn't interested in trading, he called me an "ignorant f*ck." Reported and ignored

Hey, it's not his fault we have to use a clumsy 3rd party site that's unreliable and stuff accidentally winds up for sale with wrong prices, etc.

Idk both sides of the specific story here, but I blame the system way more than either party, so let's lay off the OP?


Pointing out flaws in the system is one thing.
Did you actually read the OP? His rant basically states (in a passive aggressive way) that people who mistakenly put a wrong buyout on an item ,and only realize after getting the whisper, must be scamming rude troglodytes with no sense of honor.
The system isn't perfect no doubt, I have many frustrations on a daily basis in the trading game too, but OP's post weren't really constructive and imho full of vitriol towards people he only interacted with once. It can really be boiled down to 'I didn't get my scepter for 4 c'.
maybe are we bored about offer like : "hi,i want to by your pledge of hand 6s/5l for 3 ex"........or "350 dps 1h sword for 20 chaos"......lol.i wish a good evening to everyone....
learning is a painful process ... knowledge is the most deadly weapon.
Any procurement error results in a ton of ppl clamoring to buy said item at 1/10th the price Even when the first thing u say is LISTING ERROR trying to fix they often act indignant as if the listed price is some form of legal agreement then after ranting for a while they will tell u to fix the listing (whats the first thing i said ffs). Lucky its just a game and some low baller discussions are kinda amusing, like the guy who wanted my 5l6s atziri axe for 6ex since a 6l is on sale for 36ex and the value added of 6l is 30ex exactly?

You get some good trades and some bad ones. Move on from the bad ones and learn something from it. That is all.

I never ask for any more (or less) than 1c for anything. Never offer more (or less) than 1c for anything either.

That's how winning is done.

It's happened to me before where I get a whisper and someone is like 'hey how much for XXXX' and I'm like 'whoopsie that wasnt meant to be for sale'.

Haha, i hope it wasnt u, but the guy was just like: "not for sell", nothing else, no "whoopsie, its a mistake".
If i forget to take gear off market, or whatever, i usually say sorry to the potential buyer, as he is wasting his time on me :D

simply cause that 37% Life is just a lowroll, not worth paying more at all :D
(talking about Hardcore, where 5Link Bellys sell at 5-7 ex roundabout)
