Bargining Rant
Im getting fed up trading with people.... when i'm selling something, i dont spam WTS WTS WTS...i hate it, it clogs up the chat box....usually i wait till someone wants it...or if i do advertise it i dont spam it out...anyway...if i do get someone..and they say..how much i say my price, and they either say no, say show me then say no, or dont reply...
What i want is some bargining...i mean common! am i going to say my rock bottom price that i'm willing to let it go at? No!! it much prefer to say... 20k..then they say how about 15k...then i say..17k...and then they say deal..or something along these lines...anything but...no...lol...it would be much better to trade and barter! |

I know how you feel, Tutis.
If people don't like your prices, they'll no doubt brand you a rip-off merchant. They never assume that you just don't know its real value. What particularly annoys me is when they add "lol" in their abuse. This isn't funny. If you know a better price then SAY IT! =\ [EDIT] Only one time has anyone bothered to say something reasonable: "8k on Guru m8" |

People don't say anything are ones
1) Looking for a way lower price 2) Just asking to find what general prices it's being sold at But I also hate ppl who says lol, or they complain about the price when it's probably something they shouldn't buy in the first place. |

It doesnt bother me as I find it amusing. I love it when noobs lowball or say your prices are wrong. Makes trading so much more fun and interesting. Stuff like, "thats not worth 150k its worth 20k".

In my experiences, the majority of people who absolutely refuse to haggle on a price are the wannabe power sellers who are looking for an ignorant fool to rip off.
When you quote them a price that's 500% above what they want to pay, they just consider it as a lost cause. EDIT: Spelling Last edited by shaolin mind trick; Nov 01, 2006 at 01:58 AM // 01:58.. |

How about allowing trade only in major outposts like Lions Arch, Ascalon City, Amnoon Oasis, etc? Or disallowing it completely in more storybased outposts?

You have to know your value of your item. I advertise the item at average value/price, then I wait for an offer that's a little lower and take it.
They: saved some money I: saved lots of time and sold the item Greed is bad when you're the seller, I've learned. Greed is retarded when you're the buyer. |

Bargaining is a lost skill that very few people use still. It's a rare pleasure to do business with those who do no how to haggle.

BRIAN: What? HARRY THE HAGGLER: Well, we're-- we're supposed to haggle. BRIAN: No, no. I've got to get-- HARRY THE HAGGLER: What do you mean, 'no, no, no'? BRIAN: I haven't time.

BRIAN: All right. Do we have to? HARRY THE HAGGLER: Now, look. I want twenty for that. BRIAN: I-- I just gave you twenty. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Now, are you telling me that's not worth twenty shekels? BRIAN: No. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Look at it. Feel the quality. That's none of your goat. BRIAN: All right. I'll give you nineteen then. HARRY THE HAGGLER: No, no, no. Come on. Do it properly. BRIAN: What? HARRY THE HAGGLER: Haggle properly. This isn't worth nineteen. BRIAN: Well, you just said it was worth twenty. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Ohh, dear. Ohh, dear. Come on. Haggle. BRIAN: Huh. All right. I'll give you ten. HARRY THE HAGGLER: That's more like it. Ten?! Are you trying to insult me?! Me, with a poor dying grandmother?! Ten?! BRIAN: All right. I'll give you eleven. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Now you're gettin' it. Eleven?! Did I hear you right?! Eleven?! This cost me twelve. You want to ruin me?! BRIAN: Seventeen? HARRY THE HAGGLER: No, no, no, no. Seventeen. BRIAN: Eighteen? HARRY THE HAGGLER: No, no. You go to fourteen now. BRIAN: All right. I'll give you fourteen. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Fourteen?! Are you joking?! BRIAN: That's what you told me to say. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Ohh, dear. BRIAN: Ohh, tell me what to say. Please! HARRY THE HAGGLER: Offer me fourteen. BRIAN: I'll give you fourteen. HARRY THE HAGGLER: He's offering me fourteen for this! BRIAN: Fifteen! HARRY THE HAGGLER: Seventeen. My last word. I won't take a penny less, or strike me dead. BRIAN: Sixteen. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Done. Nice to do business with you. BRIAN: Huh. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Tell you what. I'll throw you in this as well. BRIAN: I don't want it, but thanks. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Burt! BURT: Yeah? BRIAN: All right! All right! All right! HARRY THE HAGGLER: Now, where's the sixteen you owe me? BRIAN: I just gave you twenty. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Oh, yeah. That's right. That's four I owe you, then. BRIAN: Well, that's all right. That's fine. That's fine. HARRY THE HAGGLER: No. Hang on. I've got it here somewhere. BRIAN: That's all right. That's four for the gourd. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Four? For this gourd? Four?! Look at it. It's worth ten if it's worth a shekel. BRIAN: But you just gave it to me for nothing. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Yes, but it's worth ten! BRIAN: All right. All right. HARRY THE HAGGLER: No, no, no, no. It's not worth ten. You're supposed to argue, 'Ten for that? You must be mad!' Ohh, well. [sniff] One born every minute. |

I absolutely cannot stand it when someone pms me and asks for a price and when I tell him he replies "lol". Its up to the player to decide the price of an item. I can choose my price because it is my item.

The only thing that annoys me more than a person that just doesn't want to haggle is the person who says "okay" for whatever price, and then offers me x amount of gold instead of x amount of plat then get pissed and call me a noob when I close trade and say, "sorry, not that stupid."
