Yes damit. Or fucking sell them for a less and only half as insane amount if you wish. Bad businees is the real world term for it. Most people on here try to not do bad bisoness but everyone is guilty of it at one time or another. If people follow the example your setting choco then you'll see what you have potentialy started.

and in this case the item for sell was reasonable enough that people wanted it, hence it was a good deal for the seller and aperrently to the buyer(s) of the item

being a seller is sometimes about having both parties sated /regardless/ of what outside watchers want

[Demo]

Hardly the item is no where near worth that. And honestly you could have sold it for less but chose not to. So you controlled the price, so it was your decision. The seller has no party in this other than being stupid enough to pay the price.

[Coda]

It was worth that in the eyes of the parties participating in the transaction. That's what littl3 is saying. If it wasn't a fair deal in their eyes, the sale wouldn't have taken place.

It's one thing to discuss what the ideal marketplace would look like, but it's quite another to criticize a buyer for the BUYER'S evaluation of the worth of the item.

[littl3chocobo]

hey, insult me if you wish but leave her out of it, you need to chill out and talk like a civilised adult or just piss off that was just plain uncalled for

[Demo]

I stated my damn opinion and you have stated yours, neither of us are breaking the rules. Nothings perfect but it sucks when something that is going fine is disrupted.

[littl3chocobo]

you defend the integraty of the exchange but what about in other places? i think i am done here^^: there is nothing more to say

[Nightmare]

Demo, you can call me stupid if you like, but I viewed it as okay.
There might have been a chance that runes would come up sooner or later
for cheaper, but I'd most likely miss it - whether it be because of the
time of the sale or the lack of aurum / items. Because of that, I was
willing to pay higher now to insure I'd get runes, instead of waiting and
missing the chance.

[Demo]

I really don't care. I'm done, with a lot of things now.

[Alexander Linden]

Guys... You really should tone it down. There's really no reason for insults and swearing being thrown around when all you're talking about is digital currency.

[Obbiesan]

Well for me when im offered a price i find over priced i will not buy it i know that there are people who will sell for the right price and im just fine to wait and find them =3

[Hermes]

Some people are like mom and pop shops, some are like Wal-Mart. I sell for low prices a lot, because I'd rather everyone be happy in the exchange and make just enough to sustain than make the buyer lose. Wal-Mart, however, is a large business, and needs heavy funds to coninue to survive.

If I choose to buy my cheese at Wal-Mar, whih is RIGHT NEXT TO my house, has guaranteed cheese, and has a lot of it, I might pay an extra dollar, but I'm paying for luxury.

I think that, right now, we're seeing a drought on runes a little bit, but...I don't see people selling for 3K per 10 regularly o.o I payed 4K per 20 for my runes, and I consider that slightly overpriced, but! I got mine IMMEDIATELY, I payed for luxury.

On the flipside, I could have waited, taken the whole month to get the items I wanted, and paid a more reasonable price.

This argument will never see an end, and I am still REALLY surprised this thread hasn't been locked XD

[Obbiesan]

I agree Hermes this thread always has been heated. And what you say is the truth i to like to sell low and make people happy because they might come back when they want something if i have it knowing ill be selling lower then most others. Its all on how people want to run their shops.

[Coda]

I'll admit I've come close to locking the thread from time to time but occasionally interesting and relevant topics do come up. Maybe someday an idea will spark that might help manage things.

[Hermes]

Well, theoretically, they could always come up with unions to regulate prices, but as the sellers seem to only focus on any one person buying for the highest amount at a time ,and think anyone besides that person is being unreasonable, I don't think we'll see a change anytime soon XD

That wasn't meant to be an insult to anyone, it's the truth.

[Ginger]

Personally, I have found that different price guides help.... ONE price guide made by someone who changed it to suit THIER wants first really didn't help anything at all for a few months. Demo's price guide is the only one I look at when it comes to my buying and selling here.

Economics really is an interesting topic. I love the whole supply and demand thing, and collecting things that might have incredible value in the future. I buy multiples of the monthly items because I was around when they were and it means a lot that I got to be a part of their release.
