Many thanks to everyone who posted, PMed, or whispered in response to this thread!
Details of sale, if you care .../end EDIT
Not long after posting this thread, karunpav PMed me here saying he was interested in buying this shield and asking for a heads up when I listed it for sale. I told him I would let him know as soon as I figured out my plans.
The next day (today) I wrote him back, letting him know my plan was to list this in a sell thread which would not run more than a week with starting bid = reserve = 60e, the lowest number from replies here, and buyout at 150e, the highest number. Since he had asked about buying it ahead of time, I wanted to give him first dibs on the buyout I planned and told him I would wait at least 24 hours to hear back. (To not let him know my plans and offer him first dibs after he'd asked ahead of time would've felt crummy to me. I did explain that I was not expecting or even holding out hope for 150e.) He replied within an hour or so that he would take the 150e buyout up front. When we met in game, not long after that PM, I told him I felt bad and hoped I had not unintentionally pressured or scared him into paying more than he planned to. He assured me that was not the case, so I take him at his word. We did trade the shield pictured here for 150e.
My thanks to him for the trade and for his permission to list his name as the buyer here.
If you're reading this and doubting the legitimacy of this trade, then you do have my sincere condolences that your experiences with a video game, fake-money, and pixels have left you so jaded and suspicious of your fellow players' honor and common decency. That does not sound like fun to me at all! I cannot fathom what else, what more I might do in order to prove this was legit, so I won't bother. I leave details like this here for the next guy, hoping it might help, as I've found myself grinding my teeth over the lack of fake-money-for-pixels price history left available in public in the past. I have no idea how much more or less fake-money an identical shield might sell for in the future, nor how long it would take. As always, price checking such things ahead of time is, at best, an educated guess.
Cheers folks! May you all pwn many a Charr ... and many a Demon, too!
Hiya,
I'd very much appreciate any advice/guesses anyone can offer me on this one.
(gold, 16ar r12 Tactics Echovald Shield, -2wE / +9 vs. Demons ... in case the picture doesn't work.)
Last Dec. it looks like an r11 Strength 10vDemons / -2stance Echovald sold for 150e. I figure the -2wE on mine is more popular, but the 9vDemons will make it less popular. I doubt req. in either case matters much. I have very little idea how to equate that to set numbers in terms of reserve on this one.
So, any advice/guesses on reasonable reserve and/or buyout for this one?
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Luny
EDIT, Jan. 17 - Wow, thank you all for all the fast replies!
