As was said earlier not everyone is aware of the cmv of an item. Maybe they're asking for an offer to find out how much you think it's worth. Not just trying to waste your time like you seem to feel they are.

Kumu Honua · Jan 22, 2010, 02:18 AM // 02:18

If they don't know the value, then they need to find out. There's DOZENS of methods of finding out the value of an item.

"Offer" may be genuinely a request, but 99/100 times it's someone trying to find a sucker. Better to just ignore "Offer" than to try to figure out if he is the 1 out of 100.

Onus is on the seller. Always is. Seller sets price. Buyer pays price. Haggle is an option, but even with traditional haggling, the seller is the first to offer a price.

OMG! People - IT'S JUST PLAY MONEY! It's worthless. If you feel you need to, for example, try to screw some guy out of 50 lousy imaginary gold for a 1250g lockpick, it's no wonder they ignore you. I would.
The game would go smoother, and you'd have a much happier time (as buyer or seller) if:
- you would simply make a reasonable offer when asked.
- stop trying to low-ball everyone, especially when you know the proper value.
- accept "nty" as a refusal and drop it at that.
- stop thinking that anyone in the game has the same idea of "bargaining".
- etc., etc.

Me: Ah ha! You've landed on my Park Place. That will be $2000 rent.
You: Duh, how about $1995?
Me: How about you go play something else.

As a Buyer:

Ex.
Dryad Bow R9

Seller: Offer
Me: 10k
Seller: nty
Me: You said offer. Why would I be that stupid to offer at a high price?

Next Seller: Offer
Me: 300ectos
SelleR: Deal!
Me: (I go offline now.)

Me as a seller:
Me: Offer
Buyer: 100ectos
Me: IGNORE...never respond back
Buyer: U there?
Me: IGNORE for life now.

YES PEOPLE!!! Why even ask OFFER? when in your fken head you already know what the lowest price you want to sell at?

Last example:
Me: Offer
Buyer: 200e
Me: TY for the PC. I need to do some more offer to get a better and more accurate PC on the Dryad Bow R9! LOL!!!!

It's the new way to do PC because real buyers will tell you how much they are willing to pay for it.

Me:

MasterSasori · Jan 23, 2010, 10:10 AM // 10:10

Offer seems to mean 2 things in gw.

1. The seller doesn't know the price and is just as confused if not more than you are about the item's worth.
2. The seller wants to make a few additional bucks off people.

There is nothing wrong with selling at a high price if both parties are informed, but swindling is pretty nasty business.

Just want to let you swindlers know, Karma's a bitch.
