Closed: Bo Staff Q9 Domination 20/20

Hey guys,
I need another pc. my beloved Luxon Sins just dropped me a Q9Domination Bo-Staff 20/20.

Also I wanna tahnk everyone who provided his/her pc's to me in the last couple of years .. I'll miss this forum

kinda hard to tell.but domination is popular due to the meta.I guess it could it go for 1250-1500e,maybe up to 2000e if there is bidwar.
I know a guy who has the same staff,but he wants 3000e for it,no way its worth that much tho.

If you are really desperite for ectos dont sell below 750e, if you can wait it could easily get 1250+

1000-1500e imo.

Anything below 1000e is a waste.

I totally agree with you. Still there are maaaaany people farming WoC Quest atm and imo it's just a matter of time untill the next one will pop up. Those WoC foes drop bo/dragon/plat really often, far more often than the above mentioned luxon sins...

So If you don't need it for yourself... I'd try to get rid of it asap. Even if it's only 750-1000e.

Good to know, that was new to me. A pitty those items values are getting destroyed so hard

And thx everyone for your opinions

I agree with system fan. Dump it for whatever good money someone will pay. That might be 500e. Maybe 750 or 1000. Maybe 1500. But if I didn't want to keep it forever, I would get rid of it as soon as I could.

I sold my q9 20/20 curse bo staff for 1000e and I got what I wanted for it quick. And dom is more wanted, I dont think you would have problems to sell it for 1250-1500e to the right person.
Yes,dragon,bo,plat staffs is beeing farmed and its lowering the price.
But last I saw I sold mine for 1000e,dragon q9 prot was sold for 35a ish and q9 20/20 fire dragon for 3000e.
There are bound to be some bo staff collectors out there that are looking for it.
I think kiki chama is collecting bo staffs. I dont think you would have much problems to get 1250-1500e for it.
But hey,its your staff.you sell it for the price you see fit.

Q9 fire dragon staff is a special outlier and it's price shouldn't be used to price any other staff except maybe a different fire dragon.

Otherwise, your analysis seems sound and reasonable.

why is fire dragon q9 an exception?
because you and phd/some in phd says so?
its like when a os q9 30hp -5 20% was pc some time ago,I cant remember what skin it was,but max said no os shield like that would go up to 2000e +.
after I pointed out that q9 magma 30hp -5 20% would probably go for more or 2000e + max aswell said its an exception.
I guess some people in this community can decide whats exception and not. why?because they are "known on guru" and they can decide things like that?

otherwise,you say fire dragon staff is a special outlier,but thats your opinion and those who love dragon staffs opinions.

because dragons usually breath fire, duuh.
Sell your staff fast, it will become garbage, from a collectors point of view at least.

your wittiness is always appricated coast...lols.

Haters gonna hate. r9 20/20 fire dragon staff is an exception because in 11 years it is apparently the only one that is known off. I know two different people who would have paid 100a for it. I don't see other staves getting such offers. So yeah, I agree, it is an exception. And why do you feel the need to hate on PhD? We know you don't like them. Some people dislike you, but you don't see them posting shit about you? If you have a problem with people, talk to them. Don't bring it up in two different threads today already.

***mod edit---yeah, what they said...please keep the drama OUT of Ventari's! or you will be very unhappy---mod edit***

#1 : calm the fck down about phd we are not running the whole trading collector market

#2 if you say a magma q9 30-5 is not an excpetion you clearly have a lack of knowledge in collection market

#3 that staff is 750-1000e

I think its funny because you same people say that bo,plat,dragon price is down and yet its really not.
I would prolly pay 100a for a q9 20/20 heal or prot plat staff,im not going around saying that its an exception do I?
There is 1 q9 20/20 plat heal staff that is rice's staff that he bought in 2010 I belive,so plat staff q9 20/20 heal is like that to emma.


you think im alone about my opinion,im faaaar from alone.
If people dislike me, you can pm here on guru or pm me ing.
Actually max have posted shitt about me earlier in other pc threads,not today but as in past tense.I looked past it.
So thats that.

----------

@#1: But phd sure acts like that on guru,or atleast some of you do.Everyone that is not in phd sees it like this.

@#2: I agree that magma shield is extremly rare shield with rare to see dual perf mods,but that doesnt really mean it gets exception rule.Not in my eyes atleast.

@#3: thats your opinion.

Who would you rather trust for a price check and knows the rarity of an item? a person who has been in the collecting and price checking game for a month or two, or some one who has played the game years on end and know exactly how many fire dragons or rare shields exist, who has them, how much they bought them for and how much they could go for now?

Its all about experience in the game.

You're going to have to back that up. The only times I have said anything which you might not have liked is when I said that if you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't give price checks.

Otherwise, I agree with Burns on the staff.

Gonna chip in with a few things.

The reason the fire one is an exception is that in the last eight years, there have only been two 20/20 Fire dragon staffs *known to guru*. There is a chance more dropped, but not that anyone here, to the general knowledge of the community knew about. That means that while, because of botting, other staves would go down in price, the fire dragon wouldn't, simply because there wasn't an influx to cut demand.

This means that a number of people, myself (obviously?) included, were very interested in this particular staff, and willing to pay lots of money for it. This includes people who shit out stacks of armbraces like its nothing, such as Mai Merenda, who bought a Fire Q13 20 20 Dragon Staff for probably over 2000e in value (potentially more,
Correct me if I'm wrong Surge). Keep in mind this is probably more than any Q13 staff has or ought to sell for (and not because I or some
PhD member says so, rather just because that's a crazy price for a Q13).

I missed that staff, and it made me determined to buy the next one. So, eventually a Q9
one shows up in Kama/Guru, the first since Dark Horni Worm put one up in High End since 2008. I try to see if I can get it for ~1500e, since (as I've said on guru) I figure most Canthan staff prices are down. Nope. There is now a bid war, between me, Gentleman, Julio and some unknown people. Supposedly even more people were very interested, and willing to go to 5000e or something crazy. Eventually it ends up being me and some non guru guy, c/o is 2700e. I talk to seller for like three days whittling them down and get it for 3000e, purely because the other bidder is gone for the weekend.

That staff is exceptional because it was:

1) Q9
2) Rarest skin
3) Extremely wanted and pricey attribute (perhaps due to me inflating prices inadvertently for fire items? Perhaps due to the attractive nature of Fire)
4) hadn't dropped in 8 years Q9, and 2 years 20/20
5) had a freakin Q13 sell for over 2000e
6) was the subject of a bid war between multiple collectors and nonguru people who were willing to shit out armbraces
7) would have supposedly gone to higher than what I payed for it
8) I and other people already owned versions of every other / practically every other fire staff skin 20/20 and only needed this to finish a long collection
9) it's a dragon and its fire duh!!
10) because I / PhD said it is (just kidding)

I hope it's clear why I think that item was exceptional. I actually think based on what I've heard that even the next fire one could go for a ton. And RE staff prices in general, it's pretty agreed that botting will reduce prices other than in exceptional cases or for Q9 wanted attributes. But even those, given a long enough timeline, will reduce in price with increased botting. You don't need to take my word to see it--Q10+ Bo/Plat/Drag sell simply for less than they used to; look through sell forum before it disappears if you have to.

That being said, I stand by my earlier statement, and disagree in part with Surge/Sys because I think the staff in question is definitely worth over 1000e. It will be for a while, too. But in a few months, maybe a year, I think things like this will devalue. I sold a Q9 20 20 Plat Dom Staff for 1500e two years ago; the next one was worth quite a bit less.

Also RE me (if you're going to call out an item, at least refer to me by name??) or the rest of PhD running some sort of weird Price Check mafia / whatever, I dunno what to say. I'm sorry I try to help community by PCing honestly based on my observations? I'm fine with you disagreeing with my conclusions (or that of Surge and others) but no need to imply things. I PC because I've been part of guru for over 11 years, and it and the community matter a ton to me. I really hope more people don't think I'm trying to run some outlandish staff devalue conspiracy or something. :/

Hope this clarifies things.

You basically told me im slow and stupid with finer words, and short after you deleted what you wrote,atleast in the post im reffering/thinking of.
And I have started playing gw since 06 and collecting in 07 and I did pc's on guru from 07-09 I belive.
And im not clueless on pc's that I give, there is certain items I dont have any clue whats worth.
And ye,I came back last year.

I just told my honest opinion about it,the seller can chose to ignore what I say

----------

I get that the fire dragon staff is rare and it hasnt been many for sale over years,Ive heard numerous times that plat,bo,dragon has gone down in price. And that is the driving force for some to lower the prices,but later states this staff is an exception.
I sold my curse bo staff for 1000e,and I think the seller can get around 1500e for it because domination is very wanted.

I remember about the q9 20/20 plat staff dom bc I checked through my beloved collection and saw it on pic you sold it to shadowfell I belive.But the next q9 20/20 dom plat staff came on guru it was between 5 people and 3 of them said their limit was around 1500e, which is why I cranked up my offer to 1600e,so its not really less then 1500e,is it?


maybe not pc mafia,but when one in phd pc's,more from phd tends to back it up.
I see how you guys in phd act on guru,like you own it and that you guys are ultimate collectors and with the endless stupid oneliners at every comment you make in(my beloved collection thread). Im not only saying this to you tooburns,but to others.And I belive Krompdown(he is the leader right?) actually pointed this out earlyer years from what ive heard and told max to not do that.

1. Pleikki and Stuey are the most prolific and most accurate price checkers. Neither of those are in PhD.

2. I vaguely remember posting and deleting a comment, but I can't recall who it was directed at. I can tell you however that it takes a particular combination of dumbness, ignorance and arrogance for me to bring the scathing comments out. You must have hit all three precisely if I found my own scathing comment too scathing, and deleted it.

3. "Endless stupid one liners at every comment you make" ? You should do your homework before making inaccurate judgements. That went on for about 2 months, and stopped a long time ago. Hardly endless. How do you manage to walk under the weight of the massive CHIP you have on your shoulders towards PhD? Mafia cartel?

4. It's true. We are the ultimate collectors. If you had any idea of the items we have locked away in our vaults, you wouldn't feel the need to make that comment. Jealous much?

Max

Ps, if I have to take a ban for not actually price checking something, I'll cope

Believe what you will. PCs are about giving your opinion, and at the end of the day don't matter a huge amount. No matter how many points of data you have to make a decision, items will always sell based on demand; we can only speculate about it. I disagree with a lot of my guild mates all the time while PCing (there was a 19/19 EF wand I think is worth more than a lot of people I know think); just look through the PC threads and you'll see lots of discussion, disagreement and agreement. I happen to think more voices is usually a good think for something as volatile as pricing, and I disagree with the idea that people in one clan (be it PhD or pPp) mob up with each other to support their clan mates. I mean you could argue that people just mindlessly agree with Pleikki, simply because he does so much PCing and PCes so quickly. Or, as is more likely, it's just a general consensus.

If you looked at old PCs for that same dragon staff we were referencing earlier, and those that came recently, most people didn't expect it to go over 1750. PCs are wrong, often, in fact, but that didn't mean that there is a huge problem of cronyism within the PC community. PHD and PPP members happen to be active and experienced, and handle the majority of PC advising.

As far as acting like they own the place or whatever--eh, think what you want. Don't really care. I probably agree that the one liners and stuff are annoying, but that's stopped for the most part. In addition the whole point of the collections thread is to show off your, and admire other people's, stuff. Let people have their moments of joy. You sound pretty salty if you think being happy about getting an awesome item means people in this guild think they're better than others. Some maybe even do, but branding a group of people holistically reeks to me of saltiness and a narrow mind. I've noticed that that most active posters in MBCollections aren't even PhD members, but Ikki and Emma, both of whom are pretty awesome people. They are still super proud of their collections; what's the difference between them posting their stuff and someone from PhD doing it, the fact that there is the [PhD] tag??

In regards to what Kromp said, I think he was specifically referring to the relatively annoying slogan "this is who we are / this is what we do / this is what we like". Or something of that sort. I haven't seen that on this site in years, but, to be fair my activity has been intermittent.

Tl;dr-- I'm sorry you feel that way about PhD, maybe you're projecting a bit ?

Yuko

@Cosy/mods-- not really about PC of this staff, but about the role of PCing/PCers in general. Not trying to cause or further drama. If the stuff specifically about PhD is off topic feel free to remove it

yeah...I think this thread is done....am gonna close it now...if you want to flame each other do it someplace where I am not a mod

sorry OP hope you got your price check out of all of this.
