Asking prices (PS4).

It's happened to me several times now that I offered the asking price for an item and got 'offer refused' after several days.

Is this normal behaviour? I find it rude. Leave the asking price open or deliver if you get what you asked for.

Prices on PS4 are ridiculously high anyway, like a simple rare item with nothing special about it for 20 OoC, but that is how it is. But frankly, not delivering when you get paid what you asked is rude.

There’s a console sub forum, you should use it next time.

People who lost and refuse are generally price fixers or scammers, and prices on console (especially PS4) are really bad because of greed.
When you ask around the major excuse marketers on PS4 give you is “the playerbase is small so prices are higher because less supply for demand!” - and anyone with half a brain can tell you that’s not economics works. They treat currency as if it’s prices are static with PC, not worth more because of the same supply BS.

One more example of how an automated trade system would solve so many of this game's more embarrassing* problems.

*By "embarrassing" I mean they are the type of problems that the general public is well aware of of, and thus are often the brunt of many a joke/meme (e.g PoE's trade system is the current laughable benchmark for "how not to do it"). These are also problems that will actively deter new players from playing the game.

That kinda is how economics works though, because if the supply *was* there the overpriced ones would be undercut.

> OoC

... orbs of chance?

You think 20 orbs of chance is an expensive price?

My mistake, I meant Chaos Orbs.

And the player base may be small, I get that, but when maps keep crashing at least once every hour, it will not get bigger any time soon. Playing PoE on PS4 is hard work. And sure, next time I will use the PS4 part of the forum.

The average price of a 1c item for most of the league on PS4 is 10c. The reasoning given is that it’s higher because the playerbase is smaller; this would only make sense if currency was static with PC. Things on console should cost _leas or the same as on PC_ because the playerbase is smaller and there is less currency to go around.
Edit; the obvious exception to this is actually difficult to obtain uniques such as endgame content drops.

This would be like if a lego set costed ten times as much in Alaska “because there’s less people” there than in LA.
And that’s an example where money value is the same. In a game like POE currency should be valued differently between platforms.

a true auction house would kill PoE as everyone knows it overnight. Diablo 3 should be an eternity's cautionary tale for this but people forget so easily

the d3 auction house was FINE, if you only used the gold house. once the RMAH and credit card warriors got going, then the crap started.


the gold AH was perfectly serviceable.
