Question about high-end sales over 100k. - Guild Wars Forums

Drach'nyen · Aug 27, 2010, 01:02 AM // 01:02

I'm somewhat new to sales going over 100k, and I would just like to make sure I understand to etiquette properly. I know the highest amount of gold that can be traded at once is 100k/p, so after that you have to use ectos, or item of choice.

My question is, if people advertise something for, say, 50E, does this mean they are selling the item for simply 50 ectos or is it assumed that 100k/p should be added too?

Kind of a strange question, but yeah, any insight would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Trades that include the 100k will usually be expressed in the form of 100k+XXe.

yeah if its 50e its just the 50 ectos and not an additional 100k....it just gets easier when you surpass 100k (which is what about 14 or so ectos?? math late at night not my brain) to express your bids in ectos (after that you will get armbraces and then raremini pets---)

hope this helps

It's just 50 ectos. Hooray for the Ecto Standard!

Often those 50e and such pricing are made because the item value is very high and those seller have a very high chance on maxing their storage bank anyway (1000k), so they can't receive another gold.

IF he says 50e, then that is what he's expecting. If you want to offer 100k+36e, you need to agree on the value of ectos at the time of trade. Most people don't mind, but some people just don't have room for 100k.
