Buy low and sell high is part of the game. I have done it plenty of times. You are telling me that if someone posted a WTS of Urgoz Longbow for 70K you will no buy it? Yeah right, I was just walking and picking out henchies when I saw a person posted this...I did not bargain any lower, I just gave him the amount he asked for and purchased it. In his eyes he got a good deal, in my eyes, I got a good deal. So isn't that what we are here to achieve? Where both party leaves the transaction satisfied?

Haggling is a different story.

that is a RIDICULOUS assumption.
it is FAR, FAR more common to make money off of someone who is just to plain flat lazy to sit in trade channels for 5 hours buying/selling their item for a reduced/extra 20% of its value, than it is to "newb farm" aka find someone who has absolutly no clue what the item is worth and would thereby sell it for incredibly low.
any trader who tries to stick exclusivly to the latter isnt going to make very much money.
i have heard your argument many times before, and one thing is always in common with people who make it; they have no idea what the hell they are talking about.

It's not "newb farm"ing... its "noob hunting"

815k this morning, took a break for 1/2 an hour, came back, someone had hacked my account and taken 400k of that. So I said **** it, I was waiting to get to a million before buying skills, but I'll just buy them all now, and I have gone and bought most of them, + all of the cap sigs I need for all elites. Maybe someone will take pity on me and give me what I lost. Oh yeah, and they took my kunavaang, the one I got with my collectors edition, hydra, jade armor, and IDS, and a few others. So ya, 815k was max, + mini-pets and stuff I could have sold to bring me to about 1 mil.

you don't want to know how much money I had at one point... I single-handedly caused the Iraq war with that screen shot :P

*Resses thread*

Here's my vault as of now.

Mat storage is so dang limited all I can use it for is my uneven stacks :/
I'm a little short since I've spent 1.36 mil on keys >_>

streets101 · Jul 17, 2006, 12:48 PM // 12:48

I have 1000k + 100k on each character + This is my inventory on my storage char.

The Smite Crawlers rarely drop ectos for me now.

fenix · Jul 17, 2006, 12:58 PM // 12:58

So let me get this straight... you are saying you FARMED 8750 ecto? Just from UW farming. Do I have the word 'stupid' written across my forehead, or am I just over-exaggerating?

-Old 3FL- · Jul 17, 2006, 01:52 PM // 13:52

i got 17k woot
did AB

fenix · Jul 17, 2006, 02:04 PM // 14:04

wait, yeah, those ecto are Photoshopped. Changed the Brightness on my monitor and the 2nd row down look obviously edited. Same as the Belt Pouch ecto, the background colour is wrong.

chessyang · Jul 17, 2006, 05:13 PM // 17:13

what i have at the moment.

most i had was 275k +/- had to buy some new armor (dang upate) and i have to stay away from guru auctions/sell forms -)

i'd like to see the photoshoppers procure even 1,750e.

fenix · Jul 18, 2006, 05:53 AM // 05:53

hehe in that case, when I get 1750 ecto, I'll make a nice picture for you

-Old 3FL- · Jul 18, 2006, 07:27 AM // 07:27

^i expect to see it next tuesday talon
so chop chop with le farming boy

fenix · Jul 18, 2006, 07:35 AM // 07:35

haha if you want to see it by next tuesday, I'll have to get my credit card out

I imagine if I didn't go to classes at all and just stayed home and power-traded, I could get near the 500 ecto mark, maybe even 750. Apart from that, it might take a little longer, since I'm buying FoW Ranger armor some time next week...

blaise · Jul 18, 2006, 09:41 AM // 09:41

Ur Good Lol. Im at work so im tryign to have fun messing around like this.

Farming that many ectos is crazy. But the most ive ever had was 1 Million Gold in storage, 100k across al characters and 105 ectos and 105 shards in storage.
