This "unsmoothness" makes it so that people, specially in maps, refuse to do any deal that is worth less than a fusing. If one could trade easier without having to leave the map/party, then people would be far more willing to do the small trades. I am happy to inform you that you in fact do not need to be in the same party to trade.	Posted by almostdead#6338 on Apr 24, 2014, 1:26:44 PM Quote this Post

" husk_OptimusPrime wrote: I feel they should add an 'auction board'. Not an auction house. What I mean is simply a new tab on the 'public game list' called 'trades' or 'auctions'. Then you can post an auction to the board using a tab similar to the microtransactions tab where you just put in the items you want to sell and a price for each. Then people can see a list under the name of your auction. This would eliminate the 'dump to AH and log off' problem which Diablo 3 suffered from, and why they disbanded the auction house, it would clear up the public games list, and it would allow people to sell their items much more easily. The board message could be active regardless of which game or party you are in. But just like games and parties, logging off clears your post from the list. In other words not auctions but simply an expanded notice board with a section for trades where you can simply say 'Uniques for sale, good prices' and then clicking that name shows a list of items, rather than a list of players. A list that runs separate from the games and parties list. Either that or GGG should team up with one of the community created item indexers to develop in-game support. I GOT BETTER IDEA.... I FEEL THEY MUST PUT AN AUCTION HOUSE WHERE YOU CAN PUT YOUR ITEM THERE AND SET PRICE IN IT. THEN IF SOMEONE BOUGHT IT, THAT CURRENCIES STAYS IN THAT AUCTION HOUSE UNTIL THE OWNER WITHDRAWS IT. 324234234weewf	Posted by bluemer90#0060 on Apr 25, 2014, 11:02:23 PM Quote this Post

If you want to buy,you just use poe.xyz If you want to sell,you can post on forums and hope someone notices your item on poe.xyz between hundreds of similiar items,or spam trade with "WTS" thus shoving your items down people throats	Posted by Dugi96#7348 on Apr 26, 2014, 9:40:50 AM Quote this Post
Probably because people use the indexers, overcharge, and are not willing to negotiate or compromise. When you see 10+ of one item listed for the same price, you (as a buyer) can be sure its not worth even close to that price, but people are greedy. For example, http://poe.xyz.is/search/uhasiyakasinin 14 Bino's knives listed, none below 10 exalted, none have sold... hmm, I wonder why?! Stop overcharging for your items and people will buy them.

Guys im sory if i had been mistaken, "mORE WTS THAN WTB" WHAT I MEAN IS IN TRADE CHAT. i didnt notice there is a thread for buyers like AMBUSH TRADING BUYING. im very dissapointed in trade chat all i can see is "WTS", few are "wtb". yes maybe or true sometimes what i sell is a candy wrapper, but i do think more beginners cannot buy what you called so GG items. you think they can afford it with a chaos on their pocket sir?? also you dnt want also a small discount for your so called good items. maybe when you start playing poe you got already GG items sir? Pls sometimes "look down!" you start with nothing i guess, unless your a nephew of a ggg staff :D 324234234weewf	Posted by bluemer90#0060 on May 5, 2014, 10:38:13 PM Quote this Post
Its likely due to there being many items in the game, but most of them arent useful to most players. There are a few somewhat generic items which tend to be desired by most classes (Belts with life and resists come to mind.) But most of the items people try to sell are either very niche or nearly worthless. HAIL SATAN!	Posted by tramshed#4306 on May 6, 2014, 2:19:48 AM Quote this Post
