Manually trading with people is great fun!
" Yeah. The necessity to trade coupled with a god awful trading system is what has driven me to play only very rarely (like 3times a month) anymore. Usually until i die from desync again and lose all motivation, but that doesn't belong here. |

I do have to say this.... if you are going to sell something...
Spoiler
 Please know what the "F" you want for it and don't ask me to make you an offer, wasting both of our times!!!!! We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. Last edited by Pavshaus#6712 on Sep 3, 2013, 2:45:06 PM

Most common traders I dealt with:
Me: Hey there, how much is your _________ worth? Trader:Uh, what's your offer? Me: I don't know, What's your B/O price Trader: It's 1 ex Me: You should've told me earlier when I asked you. Scenario 2: Buyer: I wanna buy _______________ 5 l armor Me: What kind of armor would u like? plate or ES? Buyer: (no reply) Me: Hello? I want to know what's your preference. Buyer: Link plz Me: Links armor(s) Buyer: Nty, too high of level. Me: ......Next time advertise the item level you want. bye |

Ive pretty much stopped selling anything. Vendored 90% of my uniques, stopped pricing my trade threads. All I sell now is i77+ items for 2 chaos. Too much hassle selling rares, so have like 30 ex worth of unlisted loot ill eventually vendor.

" To be fair a b/o has little to do with an offer. If youre looking to sell it for 1ex but someone offers you 20chaos that doesnt mean for sure that the person will not sell it to you. Especially when it comes to stuff that rots on a store and only is found over the indexer a lot of people tend to accept offers that are below what they were looking for.

The only trades worth using time for is
- Uniques that have a rough price I can look up before contacting the seller, and then haggle over the finer detail. - Rares that have a listed price. - Currency conversion. A rare without a price can take a long time to settle on a price for, with no real starting point. My most recent trade experience: Seller posts item on trade chat "WTS ___ 2ex" I whisper "Will you accept 1 ex 20 chaos" Seller replies "Can you go any higher?" I whisper "can go as high as 22 chaos" Seller accepts, trade commences. "OK" Reading through other people's experiences on here, I consider myself lucky not to have been shut down at the haggling stage. |

99/100 times someone lists an item in trade chat without a buyout:
How much for that? "offer" Do you people not understand what the question "How much for that?" means? It's incredibly irritating trading in this game I just don't bother anymore. Rampage IGN: RIP_Stannis_Baratheon

" Because it is always unfavorable to be the first one who says a price. Depending on what you say the other trader can either take it if he thinks he gets a steal on you, blame you a lowballer if it differs too much from what he expected or reply with a counter offer that's slightly more in his favor if you were within the price range he was aiming for. Either way, you are in a better spot when the other person offers first. I agree that this is just one more thing that makes trading a really exhausting experience, though.

z : Wts xyz
y:how much for that 3 cases 1)guy who doesnt even know how much the thing is worth by himself x: i am not really sure , do u have any price in mind? y: 2 exalts x:hmm ye thats ok for me deal 2)guy who knows the value and depending from the rarity of the item i decide whether to overprice it a bit or just sell it fast x: 3 exalts y: its a bit high for me or no answer at all x:hmm so what price did u have in mind bla bla bla deal 3)guy who is a fucking retard hoping to get a few more precious orbs from newbies or desperate people just to stash them .. x: offer? y: jesus christ just.. nvm x: fucking poor noob Still a lot better than just letting the game do it for u , its not the game`s fault , its just that in some cases humans are retards they are bad , careless , evil. All the game does is put u in front of these people. Maybe its a mistake but not stupid , its realistic and interesting and i dont really think it will ever actually change . Sure there will be improvements to the way u can advertise but not to the core so just : DEAL WITH IT :D Last edited by MadBro_#7856 on Sep 3, 2013, 7:36:36 PM
