Why do so many people waste their time making troll item listings?

Maybe they are trying to confuse bot trading apps?

But similar can be said of you. Why do you bother to take the time to give the ridiculously high priced trolls any concern and to take time to make this thread?

some nice and funny ideas... some completly wrong or "hrhr" sorry, funny yes...

the only truth is, and you better sit down before i tell you... they all, every single one of them, wanna scam the fuck out of you, hard... really hard, they wanna bend you over and do as they please, while smoking a cigar and jingling their orbs... exalted orbs... not just a pair, thousands of them.

that´s called "market manipulation" and is the rich peoples way to tell you that you´re nothing more but cattle... lifestock... they farm you like you do the mobs....

prolly the price for ex went to high, but they wanna buy up some? no problem for those guys... list 10-20 offers undercutting it by 20% but go on dnd mode with all the (free to create btw.) accounts they have and just let you rage on those strange persons that wanna sell something but aren´t answering to any call.

i could go on for quite a bit, but i already did like 3 rage posts today, so i paid my dues....

Trading in PoE is a bust.

(or who never reply)

now that would be because
a) pricefixing.
b) we list things for 1 chaos early league, but dont do 1c trades anymore later on.
c) its unpriced item and you offer crap price. (WTB your sins rebirth, offer 10c,
, WTB your random 6L, offer <1divine, etc pp.
likely person you whisper already went /ignore on you after 3rd scam offer)

Sellers who demand you make an offer then flip out when its not 10x the average price.

People listing dozens of some unpopular map like shaped spider lair at ridiculous prices and hoarding them like crazy because they refuse to lower the price to match reality.

again, guess u missed the bulk price.
if i sell like 50 of a map, you pay extra for time savings.
you buy 50 from me in one go,
you dont have to trade another 30 ppl for 2maps each.
time savings: around and hour, worth an ex, isnt it?

They know new players that use trade macro will price items using Ctrl + D and see only the first results wich are most of time what you call "troll prices".

Next step is to open 50 livesearchs and basicly profit of that.

One funny seller today said "wrong price" when I whispered them.
I asked what the "right price" was and got no reply.
