I would just like to know- why, why when I saw a req7 armor level 16 LIGHT BLUE tactics shield yesterday selling in Ventari's corner did the people say 5k max?
But then people the next day turn around with a req7 armor level 15 light blue tactics shield and have a starting bid of 30k?
And another thing I would like to know- why, when people say "Selling minipets blah blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, and blah" do nearly all posts following it say "Is it undedicated? If so I'll buy it."
Its obviously undedicated as the person stated it in the thread title AND in the post.
I would just like to know answers to these questions. I'll post more soon if I have any and if these get answered properly.

With the inscripton system value of items can seem quite complex at first, gotta take everything into account skin, damage, inherant mod, inscription or not?, and the rartity (white, blue, purp, gold, green and yea theres even red
) but yea an req 7 inscription shield will be worth more than a blue req 7 16 armor non inscrpition one.Quote:

15 AL r7 Shields have quite a bit of value, largely because people tend to merchant them (they're not gold and max AL? merch!). I buy 'em when I see them, which isn't often.

To answer the OP's 1st question, the 16al shield was most likely uninscribable(there has never been a reported max r7 inscribable), and therefore worthless because of non-max mods. Wheras the 15al is inscribable, and like all inscribables can have perfect mods added to it, so it is worth more.

Yup, a really really ignorant post.
I take it the person has never modded a forum before or got any idea how they are run. Deleted posts can still be seen by moderators... So all those threads which apparently had posts deleted to hide the items true value can still be seen by all moderators of that sub-forum. So I guess they must all be in on it. Shame as I personally know alot of them and they never told me... Would loved to have be part of it. Just like I was never in on the, "all ultra rich people manipulate the ecto market", theory...

Yup, that's pretty much it.
As for you, Toxage, you need to lay of the conspiracy theory pamphlets and the coffee house beatnick shows.

skin/rarity also plays a big factor in the price
also some people have no idea so they post random prices (also get more then 1 pc anyway)
take your pick

req7 16al is blue and non inscrib.
req7 15al is blue and inscrib.

1) The people that generally stalk the market suck and want low prices.
2) People just want to make sure they aren't, as the seller generally doesn't specify. Many times have I found "WTS Burning Titan 7K!" and I go to trade them and it's dedicated. I would at least appreciate "Ded" or "Unded" in it now, since it's basically a new requirement.
The other day, I was selling 11 dedicated miniatures for 500g each, perfectly stated with pretty stars surrounding it, and I still had one person trade me and go "oh, I thought they were undedicated." Well, no shit sherlock, who sells undedicated miniatures for 500g a piece?

All it takes is a lone outpost and 2 people faking a deal to scam people. They probably do not dare to do this in LA, but some people do that there as well.
Be careful, if it would be really a good item, I wonder why he is not spamming in Kamadan or elsewhere.

The concept of the moderators being in on a large conspiracy to make you think your shield isn't worth as much as it is is completely ridiculous. The majority of Ventari mods are rich enough to buy everything on your account and not even miss the stack of ecto... honestly, the low price checks they give should be appreciated as a wake up call instead of being considered rude.
