Manually trading with people is great fun!

Something like this:
want to trade my AR/EV rare boots with +life and 3 resists for a rare heavy quiver with a high phys. roll Offering it 3 days in a row, but am finding no one. |

" "b/o" does not mean "minimum price, I won't take any less". B/o just means buyout price, nothing more, nothing less. In fact, given that the market fluctuates, often such that less-than-godly gear keep getting lower in value, it is not reasonable to expect that the b/o's keep being updated to match current market price. So, yeah, offering to someone who has set a b/o, is more reasonable than unreasonable. If you want to avoid "time-wasting" negotiations, you should set a minimum price, not just a buyout price.

" Nice observation, but besides the point. Replace +life with +movement speed if you like, it was only fictional anyway. |

Ahhh, the adventures of the trade chat :
Guy X : WTS "item" Me ( on whisper ) how much do you want for it No answer. : ( : D Or one from 2 weeks ago : Me : WTS my old bow "bow" Guy Y ( whisper ) : price ? Me : Hmm, 1 alch. Guy Y : Ok, just wait a little. I waited for 25 mins. before deciding to idnore him. Last edited by DoctorHiruruluk#5280 on Jul 28, 2013, 3:37:55 PM

" It's not difficult to make an offer. The seller may not have decided on a price and may be open to negotiations or currency other than orbs. In this scenario you're actually the one making things difficult by not answering a simple question: what's it worth to you? Last edited by CirePadela#7806 on Jul 28, 2013, 4:39:36 PM

But what does it matter what's it worth to me? I might or might not buy it, but he is selling it. It's on his side to state the price on the product he is selling.
Making a buyer state the price results in two scenarios: - either you offer lower than what he wants for the item and THEN he states his price - or you offer more than he expected so he accepts the trade I hate being a buyer in this game, and this is not good since trading is 70% of success in this game. „I don't give a fuck if it was his tenth anniversary with his goddamn neckbeard...“
„If they think I'm going to let them sweep this pizza guy thing under the rug...“ No mod action. Business as usual. |

When I ask someone "how much" for an item they posted in trade chat and they reply with "make an offer" I just don't reply because I know it's going to be a waste of time.
Stupid bastards just need to write how much they want for the fucking item and quit playing shenanigans. Remember when I won a screenshot contest and made everyone butt-hurt? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Last edited by Wraeclastian#7390 on Jul 28, 2013, 5:07:36 PM

" The one that started with "making things difficult" is the uneducated seller that don´t know what his items are worth. If you don´t know the price of your items either let them pc or accumulate them with comparing it to other sellers items and their prices. But using potential buyers as "testing ground" to accumulate prices is bad. Also if you unsure you can make a absurd high buy_out and just start an auction. What can never be lent or earned?
Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything: A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones. Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings. What am i? |

" Asking for offers isn't mandatory, but it's pretty much standard practice in any game with a non-auction house style trading system. In all the games I've played, the PoE community is the only one with people who are so damn hostile about this. |
