For the people who price things at 0xcurrency...

OMG with jewels. Spend 5 mins going through the long list off oddball stats I need. Set online only buyout only. Price lowest to highest. 99 results of 0x buyout. Have to redo the whole thing again this time setting a 1c minimum price. God fucking damnit.

Fact is this, all player markets and trades in the game are based on mutual agreements between two individuals. One agrees to buy at a certain price that he agrees to and another sells at a price that the buyer agrees and both players benefit individually as a result. Now many players, myself included set buyouts for our items to let buyers know this is the price we want and we are not looking to negotiate...


Which is not what buyout means. Buyout comes from the AH's in games like World of Warcraft and offer a way for a buyer to immediately end an auction for a certain amount of money to obtain the item. It was in no way an absolute price and it was often still possible to get the item for less money. If you don't want to negotiate on the price of an item, you should be using Fixed Price, not buyout.

Unfortunately it has become colloquial speech now to for buyout to mean the same thing as fixed price, which I admit is confusing. I don't know have any solution to fix this problem. In fact, since I never had played WoW and POE was the first game I had seen buyout, everyone told me it meant what you wanted to sell your item for and I didn't know otherwise. I will do my part in the future now that I know the difference to use fixed price, so as to not confuse.

After you have searched for something on poe.trade, at the top of the page there is a button that says "Show search form". Click it and it shows all the fields you filled in pregiously so can easily edit a value, add another field, set buyout or online if you forgot etc, and then re-search.

Welcome to to Dirty PoE trading 101.

It's actually very common practice nowadays.

Most people that uses poe.trade knows they can use the buyout only filter so they don't have to be bothered with offering/haggling ect on items with a BO set already.

Also many don't like having to deal with those annoying dirty as fuck shady pos people that doesn't set buyout yet set a 0x currency cost to bypass the "Buyout Only" filter. There's a reason why Buyout only filter is built in on PoE.Trade in the first place (many people just can't be bothered to offer) but there are simply too many shady fucks that wants a chance to milk/scam/rip off even if people usually set the BO Only filter to on specifically to bypass these fucks.

Trading scence in PoE is like a typical underground black market. While there are some honest merchants there are still plenty of shady pos. I won't even bother pm those who set 0x currency cost... too fucking shady for my taste, if I wanted to offer I would've set the Buyout Only option to off in the first place.


Last time I PM'ed someone for a ring with 0x chaos buyout... (this was 3 days ago)
Me: Hey I would like to buy the ring xxx.
Seller: offer
Me: I really don't know the pricing on those I just need some resist with mana leech.
Seller: offer
Me: How much are you thinking what ballpark are we looking at?
Seller: offer
Me: 5c
Seller: lol fuck you this is 20ex GG leech ring dude. (no it wasnt gg not even close).
Me: nvm
Seller: lol what about 10ex?
Seller: lol fuck you noob.

sigh... maybe one day PoE can get a real trading system.
My favorite is when people list fake prices or do fake trades with a friend to show that someone "paid" that much for their item.

*cough cough* like shitty eleron rings that could be made by anyone that "sell" for 80 ex, even though anyone could make the ring for 5 ex, and i mean literally anyone
Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

Just like what I said before PoE trading will always be like this.
It's has zero official trading system.
You use 3rd party software to manage your wares, you go to 3rd party website to look up for the buyers/sellers, you pm someone ingame, and put shit in generic trading window, and click accept. (or try to scam)

Scammers would scam since it's not illegal, and it's highly profitable.
The more profit the more shady you get.

Just like underground/back-alley unregulated trading where cops won't even venture into.
And then irl death threats over PoE currency and shit sent to physical address... It's really an one-of-a-kind unique trading experience.

Welcome to Path of Exile.
The real hardcore PoE players and the elites sit in town and zoning in and out of their hideouts trading items. Noobs that don't know how to play PoE correctly, kill monsters for items. It's pure fact, it will never change.

Welcome to PoE.

You know who you are. You are not the people who don't know what your item is worth - those people just don't set b/o. No, you are the people who are trying to scam newer players. I've tried to approach some of you. You always treat your buyers like newbies, and then ask ludicrous amounts of low tier currency (for example 15 chance orbs for a gem), which in total would amount to multiple times the normal price of your items.

I really wish Poe.trade would just skip items with a b/o of 0, or allow us to set min and max b/o in different currencies (ex min 1 alch max 1c). That said, my tip to every newbie who will read this is to always avoid people with b/o of 0. Trust me when I say you will end up paying more than you should by very, very much.


A B/O of 0 may get a seller past the B/O only filter, but let me assure anyone that sets a B/O of 0... your listing gets ignored by me. I don't have time for your nonsense.
