Inflation or gouging?

Ok so here's a question I just wanted to gather some opinions on inflated prices.

I went to go sell some Deldrimore armor remnants in Kamadan and noticed 2 other ppl selling them 45 and 50k each respectively. Now I had been accustomed to selling them at 12k per. Are the prices I saw due to inflation or gouging? Is it acceptable to sell at such a high price?

Just wondering...Thanks

what you call "gouging" others call powertrading.

There is no rule on selling prices. A player can ask any price he wishes for items. It doesn't mean he will actually sell any at that price. Many people think that the demise of 600/smite teams has sent the price of any EotN item through the roof. I have seen people asking 10k for a Golden Rin Relic.

You, personally, should set your prices at a level where you feel you are making the profit you want. With any rare material, check the NPC and be sure to "Request Quote" as quite often the listed price will change.

Watch the flames begin but I feel nothing in the damn game is worth over a 100 K and honestly some of the things people pay over a 100 K for are simply BUTT UGLY, it's more of a " look at me thing ".

Darcy answered your question the best I think. Sell the items for what you think is fair and be happy with that. I honestly get a kick out of seeing " PC on blah blah " while I'm sitting in town. I wouldn't trust some of those answers I've seen and most ppl since they don't now seem to take a lot of those responses as the gospel.

As previously said its up to you how much you want to put on an item you have for sale but obviously you dont want to spend hours standing around as thats counter produtive if your interested in raising funds.

The thing with Deldrimor remnants is that now SF is not the dungeon slayer it used to be, its going to be a great deal harder to aquire them from Duncan than it was b4!

So im not suprised to see the price increase a fair bit, given a little time and some new builds it may well drop again soon....

agreed + 12 chars

With the exception of a few rare minis I tend to agree with you.

Given that a friend and me did the whole Slaver's exile after the last update and it's still doable, I don't think a price increase is warranted. So, probably the people just overpriced their offers and there is no actual reason for all prices to rise.

Have to disagree with you on this. Not all high end weapons/minis/tonics/extra where but ugly. Things like Torm weapons i can understand being over 100k+ since they take forever to make. Or minis like mini smite since its a rare drop in uw.

what you call powertrading is what i call scamming

This is the same for con sets as well. Feathers have gone dramatically down in price and yet Essences are selling for more money now. I guess everyone got their high school diploma without having to take a basic Econ. class.

This is something I don't understand with people.

Why should something be more expensive since it is rare, if the item itself has little value?

A lot of the super rare "omgimapayectostacks" type of weapons look like ass. If they dropped as much as other things, you wouldn't even be able to GIVE them away, let alone sell them.

But since they are rare, people pay 5 ecto stacks. Makes no f*cking sense to me.

I tried to sell my deld remnant I found in storage last night for 12k...no buyers. Figures...

Yelling @ Cats...
It's called the Free Market System. You should try it some time.

The most expensive weapon in the game prior to eotn's release(Stygian Reaver) actually looks quite nice, it's worth nowhere near as much now though because after eotn was released it drops in more places than the HoH chest.

I was probably a scam. I'll bet there was someone in another district spamming that they wanted to buy one for 70k....

Ah, yes...the free market system, where selling something for 5 times what it is worth to people who don't know any better is acceptable.

@ Cats
Well that's the beauty of Capitalism. If someone is trying to sell for too much money, they don't sell anything. An items value is a 2 way street. Now quit your QQ comrad.


And it seems like your yet again, another person that wants these kind of items but doesn't want to put the time into...a) Doing the mission or b) Farming for the money to pay for said items.

It's the responsibility of the buyer to try to find out how much things are worth. I'm not sure anyone buying hero armors is going to actually pay 50k for those...

serious gauging.

true, but epeen. without falsified value how would someone try to pretend to be superior to someone else?

quite true sir.


y'know, when i'm trying to sell something for a fair and decent price, and i get some powertrader pming me offering half just so they can go and sell for more just for profit, that is what i call faggotry
