How much? Offer

When I ask for an offer, I don't expect them to over-offer, I expect them to come close enough to a price I have in mind for me to know that I can comfortably ask the price with the expectation that they can pay it out.

Oh sure, you ask for an offer because you expect them to come close to your price. :D

If you are telling the truth (wich i doubt tbh) you are doing it wrong. If you simply state a buyout others can still make an offer close to your price, and you are more likely to sell. One of the reasons why is that people that don't like haggling are more likely to pay your high b/o than your item flipper.

If all you say is offer, expect lowballs. If someone doesn't know the value of the item you refuse to put a price on, they aren't idiots for lowballing by the way. If they just want to make a profit flipping they will lowball as well.

Thanks for making assumptions when you don't know anything about how I trade. If I don't like b/o it's because I want to discuss with the guy and that my price is not set in stone. I have no "magic number" or anything like that. I sell items for sometimes half the value I thought they were worth. That's the exact opposite of what you think I'm doing, because you seem to know me so well he ? Herp derp. Always nice to read something from you on these forums.

Its not hard to make assumptions about someone who calls people douches for asking for the price of an item.....

I was just picking OP's word, who said "douche" for the guy asking "offer". "Douche" isn't my word. I never called someone "douche" for asking me what is the price of an item. Learn to read. Stop making assumptions.

The douche is the guy starting with "Hey, how much for xxx ?" imo. I hate that so much

My bad I guess for responding to what you chose to type.

One of these days GGG will sell their IP to Activision, and Activision will go "How much?" and GGG will go "Offer" and Activision will go "2 bucks" and GGG will go "Fuck you noob, ignore".

Back on topic. Still don't know why people are so uncomfortable stating a price. If your not trying to gouge the other guy for as much currency as possible then I would think you would be happy giving a price and haggling from there if necessary. That way the buyer doesn't have to guess at would the seller would be happy with and a bunch of time isn't wasted.

Talking to everyone in this thread.

I always give a price when someone asking for it (and that means 90% of people whispering IG). I never say "offer". On the other hand, I always give my seller an offer, never asking for price first (I may do it when he thinks what I think is fair isn't for him). Because I prefer the "offer" way, for the reason I already stated : prices aren't set in stone, so someone that see a "8 c b/o" on my shop and that want to give 5 most likely won't contact me, when I could discuss with him and lower my price. Because "8c" is not its price, it's what I thought in the first place the item could be worth (=/= price in a store for example).

And yes, don't get me wrong, it may happen that someone could give me an offer when I thought it wasn't worth that much, but honestly (and I think you'll agree with me on that one) I think it almost never happens. People always tend if not to "lowball" (I don't like that word), at least to give the most-little-but-hopefully-still-decent-offer they can when they have to offer.

use poe.xyz to evaluate items.
propose such value to the seller.
hope.

BRAVO! I hope GGG will act that way not only to the company but to people that propose changes that make poe look like it was developed by Activision.
