Default What to do With All of My Golds?

I have many, many golds that I just cannot bring myself to get rid of. The reason being it is too much of a pain to try and sell in game, Guru takes too long, and often no one replies. I mean they are not all perfect, but many are VERY good. I can't being myself to merch them, but now what? Do I give them away, maybe I'll just give everything to guildies. Whatever - they are taking up all of my inventory space. That and all the Greens I have leftover from SF. Anyone else have a suggestion for this? I have 6 chars (one of them is a mule), and all of them are out of room.

RUMOR has it that in NightFall you can choose your salvage option when you salvage for a weapon Mod. I would hold your gold’s until Nightfall release and see if you can salvage those mods that might want. Hopfuly we will get some clairification on some RUMORs that are surfaceing soon.

I had the same problem. Here's what I did.

I sorted out all of the weapons I wanted to sell by profession, then I had a sale! I went to Ascalon City and started out with my extra monk weapons. My first in-game ad went like this : "MONK WEAPONS SALE - All max damage gold or green weapons, many nice mods! You're choice, 3k each! (that was about the average of what they were worth) I sold 6 of them in the space of 10 minutes. Then I went on to ele weapons, All the while keeping an eye for "WTB" spam for other items I had available. It worked so much quicker for me than trying to run multiple posts for different items.

This does help if you're not worried about getting as much as you can for something, espcially with the not-so-in-demand weapons.

Hmm - both of these are good suggestions. I guess I will wait to see what Nightfall has - but 3K would be a respectable price. I mean - as of right now I'm not too worried about gold. But if I need to buy more 15K armor... thanks for the tips!

It's quite simple...

1. Anything that is really "perfect" - i.e. has a 15% damage modifier or has two perfect dual-modifiers (for shields and caster items) is worth selling either on the auction site or in game.

2. Anything that is "less than perfect" is either (1) trader material or (2) if you can't seem to do that, simply hold a massive clearance sale on the sell forum on this site. Everything has a b/o (buyout) of 2K, which should result in an immediate sale. Anything leftover after that is merchant material.

Green items should fall into #2 above - but I would simply discount them at HALF the Price Check forum thread price. They'll get snatched up in a hurry at that rate.

Yeah, I don't see that happening.. if you can salvage certain mods off of items.. then the price of those items will drop down because people are going to only salvage the high end mods.. that is why its all random... so that rumor is false.

Except he's giving you the gold, not the other way around. His college fund for his children must be running low

I might be interested in buying some monk gear if you have any and decide to sell the stuff anyway.

PM me in-game (or here) if you're interested.

I'm pretty much in the same boat, with highest req shields but +30 health and/or almost perfect dual stats. I should merch them, but I want to wait to see what trade improvements might occur.

Has there been any word on any upcoming trade improvements? The forums seem to have gotten quiet on trade and storage improvements and I wonder if everyone hasn't just given up and its one of those things that has been swept under the carpet.
