Question about some rare skins - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

It's pretty easy to find almost any gold item if you shop in Kamedan or Lion's Arch. Sometimes it'll take a week to find something, but in general you can find pretty much any random skin even if it's rare.

Often people will try to charge you exhorbitant prices for something they say is rare, if someone's asking in excess of 20k for something random you can probably find a cheaper seller. For example I was looking for an old prophecies gold Longsword, some people tried to charge me 40k and up but eventually I got it high req for 2.5k.

^ as was suggested Victo's axe is a commonly available max green in the better of those two skins. Don't pay more than 5k.

When looking for anything specific this will happen. I was looking for an equine aegis and got offers from 50k right down to 3k, what its really worth.

Point being if they have something you want, but are charging a massive price, chances are they are just trying to get as much out of you as possible, and more than likely if you don't just reject the offer right off and play it smart you can get it for much cheaper. This is cause the seller knows they won't be bale to find another buyer anytime soon and just want cash. With smart bargaining you can get people to drop their price from 80k to 10k (I've done this many, many times)

Another good way to find the skins you want if you're trying to buy a skin that isn't valuable enough to sell just for the skin is to let your guild and alliance mates know you're looking for one and have them keep an eye out in case they come across one.
