I just spent around 3k on insignias for my cantha armor(big mistake) and so i went to go sell it back and got 30g back for it all. People make mistakes and sometime think ahead like I do. So what if there was a 24 hour money back timer
as soon as you buy something the timmer starts and what happens is if you return the item with in 24 hours you get a full payment back but after the time is up you can only get a little amount back. This would help out people who make a slight miss calculation of how many dyes they need or what runes they can use. This 24 hour money back timmer only counts for: merchants, dye trader, rune trader, scroll traders, material traders, rare material traders and all other traders that do not involve collecting crafts for them for example you could not get a 24 hour timmer from a weapon smith armor smith. If you do anything to the item you also cannot trade it back like mixing a dye. What do you think?Cause problems?Help problems?

Too much data to add and move.

Just try to get only what you need.

Sure why not.

I'd sign this if it was like... 5 minutes?

Not signed. A system like this wouldn't encourage people to be more careful.

I spent 40k on a 15k luxon chest piece, then salvaged it because it looked ugly. I had already seen the pics on Gwiki but thought... I have 40k... hmmm... what to waste it on?

I don't care that I wasted that money though, I don't keep much on me anyway.

Research what you're going to buy before you actually do so. Not doing so is asking for a loss of money.

3k? extra letters

This would cause people to exploit it (ie buy runes, dye and gems/ecto ect...when you log on, then make sure to check up on the value 23 hours later to see if they can sell it for more...I know, not a great way to make money, but people would do it). Also, it would just make the system lag more then it does now.
Changing it to 5 minutes would just take away my first point. If you want anything, ask for fitting rooms for armour. But thats another matter.

why would you think 3k is a lot of money and why would you sell it for 30g to the merchant. As long as your armor has perfect stats it doesnt matter what you are wearing onless it doesnt match your build. And if it didnt match your build that is your fault.

Going with everyone else on this one /notsigned

I've done many similar things, many. I've probably wasted around 100k+ (quite a bit for me =) on stuff that I didn't like or didn't mean to buy. You don't learn anything from getting it right all the time. You have to make a mistake, and adjust to it.

I don't believe ANet can do that. But even if they could, they wouldn't. This is so open to abuse. Plus the amount of complaints it would generate.

I'm sorry for your lost 3k. When you think about mixing something new from the latest campaign with something from an older campaign, always check guildwiki.org for information.

/notsigned at getting 100% of your money back.

Technically anything youve bought, is then second hand, used or/and damaged with 24 hours.

So why give you 100% back?

Just set the price of selling back to the merchant to be 1/2 or 3/4 its original price you bought it at.

Then some rich guy would buy all the ectos (or anything) in the world from the trader, shooting the price up, and then trading them to people for massive money. Anything not sold is refunded 100% in 24 hours.
