Re: Selling TONS of stuff! MAJOR update 8/8! U BUY NOW!! New Policy 8/14!
Um . . . sorry you don't like my prices. Unless I'm forcing you to buy from me, or you're trying to negotiate for a particular item (an option that has always been listed on the OP), I don't believe that what you think regarding my prices is all that pertinent to what I set them at.
Regardless of whatever prices you've seen auctioned at whatever time, I can tell you that I am keenly aware of the prices of other items on the listsold system itself - and those are the ones I'm most interested in. I can tell you at any given time what an item is selling for on the listsold, how much it has sold for in the past, how many are available, and sometimes, who farms the items on a regular basis. All this factors into the value of an item I sell.
That said, some prices are higher than usual and may reflect a number of factors including: recent high demand, number of people willing to sell via the system (many people don't sell high end items on listsolds at all), rarity of the item in general, in-game economy fluctuations, financial return required to make obtaining the item worth my wihle, and my personal willingness to part with the item. I don't see how it is wrong to factor any one of these things into my prices. If you don't want it at that price, don't buy it. If I don't sell it - well, that's MY problem, not yours.
If I choose to discount my items further (and I have in the past) then I will, but I'm not concerned at the moment and I'm not really moved by alarmist reactions to the in-game economy, 2 am auctions, or my current prices.
You may have interpreted my "U BUY NOW" and constant updating as a sign that I'm anxious to move items FAST and am willing to severely undersell myself to do so. This is a false interpretation - I constantly keep my listsold full and updated and advertise that fact because quite plainly, items and spells sell from it, and that's how I make money. If I don't update this post regularly, if I don't restock my boxes, if I don't actively look for more merchandise to sell, I don't make any money. Since I did my major update a week ago I have sold and replaced more than 20% of my total inventory slots - many of them spells, yes, but many of them items too. (And I must add, that having sold in this manner for months now, there are quite a few more items that I HAVE sold at those prices, whether you believe me or not). Rather than being a mark of financial desperation, my use of the phrase "U BUY NOW" is intended to elicit a spark of humor and perhaps a little sellability in what can be otherwise a very dull subject. I'm sorry that you, personally, are offended by it: but I see no reason to change it for you, personally.
Good Luck in all your buying and selling endeavors!
