has anyone had a similar thing happen to them?
I was selling a few minis that i didnt need anymore, ie hydra, titan turtle, wind rider, jugg, etc etc
i got about 5 offers overall. i reminded them that it was dedicated, they generally said ok. Yet when they offer the money and i accept, they wait a whole minute then say....its customised dude...i spend 3 mins explaining there is a difference between dedicated and customised (yes i know minis can come customised but mine were all ded.) yet they refuse.
is there a way to somehow convince the average newbie with a low reading comprehension that it still can be USED, just not dedicated at hom.
*sigh*

Direct them to Wiki. Newbs/Noobs love Wiki.
Raiku
Just say its Customized

I did that... I bought something on forums that I dindt know what ded. It was overpriced. I bought it anyways cause I know its my fault.. (and I kinda like aaxte hehe)

Customized mini pets, after the update can now be removed and be replaced with dedicated. But you cannot talk off the dedication when you take off the customization.
So you can always go back to your HOM, take off the customization:switch it with dedicated.

The only problem is the noobies don't have access to gw:en for the most part. Thus they can't take off customization. The only thing you can do is hope they figure it out or just tell them to double click and you can still use the pet even if it is "customized".

Just redirect them to the Wiki, that's your best bet.
As for the 2 posters above me: He said that the minis were Dedicated but the person buying thought they were customized, not that the minis were actually customized.

I know, but their are some people who don't realize that they are customized and not dedicated when they sell them. So if the other person who buys them does not notice and doesn't have gw:en they are basically screwed.

That must be very frustrating, and it probably happens a lot more than people think.
Pleikki

So you wont be able to sell if you keep saying that

If they're stupid enough to not know the difference between Customized and Dedicated, they don't deserve the mini. It helps to know a bit about what you're buying (such as its ability to be dedicated and what that means for you).

there are many people who don't read and don't know even the basics of the game, it will take you forever if you want to explain and convince all of such people

It's the popup window warning that appears after you want to submit an offer for a trade including a dedicated miniature. It totally scares noobs off.
There are huge masses of players that don't know what HoM is, or totally don't care about it, and they would be buying dedicated minis if THAT thing didn't exist. It feels like an alarm sign "You're about to get scammed!" for them, they don't even read it carefully.
It totally wrecks the low-end dedicated minis market.

Its like when I'm advertising "Running to Sanctum Cay" and then have someone whispering you "Where are you running?". A very small sentence that cant even be read reeks of communication failure.

Happened with me before.. I was selling a Lich, told him its dedicated like 4 times. I shown him then he put in the money, then I had to explain him what dedicated means. The answer was: dont need bye
-.-
-.-
Turtle222
*sigh* thank you for the support, yes it is the whole page's dedicated message that they read that scares them off, they immediately think !SCAM! as yawgmoth explained.

Tell them to double click it so they can see it still works ?
Linksys
I'd tell them to go to wiki but I wouldn't call them a "noob" or "newbie." That's basically using the ingame derrogatory N word.

In my opinion, if you want to sell to a target group you have to deal with that target group.
New people need explanations and they are rightfully afraid to be scammed. So you need patience with them and explain it carefully quoting wiki and such to appease them.
If you don't wanna deal with that just don't. Just find the next buyer and forget about them.

And even better -- when they ask that "How much?" I answer with "Make a reasonable offer please" and I often get to sell the item for more than I stated in my spam!

If i'm trying to get rid of a dedicated minipet i'll just trash it. NOBODY knows what dedicated means, all the little ignorant noobs start yelling "YOU ARE SCAM ME I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE TYPOGRAPHY STATING THIS IS DEDICATED THIS IS UNKNOWN TERMINOLOGY TO ME NTYBYE" as soon as they see the "Dedicated..."
Not worth the few plat. No chance.
