I sell my stuff easily all the time, but, then I don't try to gouge everyone with silly stupid prices from forums. But one time I sold 10 zashien keys for 100k because someone wanted them right then and didn't want to wait.

People think what the web pages say or some other silly dude says is god fact on prices and selling. You just have to be in the right place at the right time actually and you can sell just about anything. I do notice there are more WTB orders, but, haven't noticed any decrease in want to sell, the old garbage is still out there for sale and prices are down because more people can now farm the same areas that the greedy people could awhile back that's the advantage of URSANS BLESSING which I sooooo enjoy in this game now.

Actually IMHO its not that people aren't selling anymore, its that they don't want to spam which is a great thing. Like in my case, im somewhat of a pack rat. I save anything gold or good skin/req and then visit kamadan every so often to see whose buying what, if i see someone say WTB max gold *usually war weapon* i can prob sell the item for 2-5k, a great way to make cheap money for some random merch fodder and get ppl what they want.

Personally for the economy, i think it could easily be fixed if ANET just started selling faction for money... It would be a great sink hole

i don't bother with selling anymore because there are so few items worth the trouble to sell at this point. if its not a hot item, i won't bother. i'd rather play the game than stand around spamadan playing car salesman.

Noone is farming greens any more. If someone is farming bosses its just because they want elite tomes. But basically, nowadays farm=solo uw perma SF

It's still pretty easy to sell mods and golden req9 weapons on guru/auctions for 3-5K. When you sell these kind of items these days people will not offer what you want for it if you write WTS... You have to wait for someone who writes WTB, most likely you get more from that.

All the smart WTS'ers are posting in the Sell forum here at guru.

I haven't sold an item in game in a long time - I've sold items on guru auctions for a long long time as the stuff sells itself. I can list an item that will repost itself every 3 days for a month and leave it to be bought - I spend more time playing this way.

Only time I'll try and sell anything in game is when I'm working on my drunkard title. I've certainly noticed more and more WTB, but they're for the same 10 or so items (voltaics, high end minis etc). As for wts... unless they're rare, tomes or materials I wouldn't go there specially for it.

I don't think it's that there are fewer ppl selling, just that the one's legitamately selling stuff that they KNOW the worth of only do it at certain times.

There is no point of selling anything of value at say 12:00 pm on a Sat b/c you will say "WTS blah blah blah 20k" and the only response will be some 12 yr old saying "I only have 6734g, will you take that?"

Well, at least I know I have some potential sellers if I want to buy something.

And for the economy, I think there is a problem when there is too much demand but no offert....

HawkofStorms · Jun 24, 2008, 05:19 PM // 17:19

Plus, around 70% of the WTB posts aren't for farmable items. Most of the time people are trying to buy sweets, booze, fireworks, or minipets.
The weapons market is dead.

ppl suggested the ecto drop doesnt have to do anything with this but i beg to differ, ppl are selling req 9 voltaic for over 100k+100e i mean seriously? its ruining the game for those of us who doesnt farm extensively, for those who farm hours and hours this is a great thing i suppose, also imgaine how rich those ppl are when/if they nerf SF. the price would spike extremely high for a while then settle bak to a steady amount but now 25=100k but after a nerf it could be 20=100k.
