Well a 8 req untested shadow bow will get at least 10-15K normally. Even the chance at getting a 5/1 vamp string on a salvage is worth that much. Not sure where you got 50K from either, I believe I said 20-25K would be a B/O price, which isn't that bad a deal if you ask me, espeically when people buy unided all the time with out a clue what it is going to be.
As for taking my word for it. I sell enough stuff and have enough plats not to worry about lying to someone or trying to scam them out of a couple plats. Hell I bought back the new Green staff from a guy who I just sold it to because he thought it was a one handed weapon. So I don't need to scam anyone. I just don't want to have another 14% bow cluttering up my inventory. And if you ask me a 14% with a 5/1 is well worth 20-25K. But because of the fascination with "perfect" people don't see it that way.
So either sell a possible 100K + bow for 25K, or ID it and have a 25K+ bow sitting in my inventory not being used because it is "only" 14%, or a third possibility ID it, KNOW it is worth 100K,and not have anyone be able to afford it that might actually want it. Or ID it salvage it and sell the string.
But thanks for playing this has been a typical PC session here on GWG. No wonder I see guys in LA spamming something for 100K and 100 ectos so many times and then see them the next weekend with the same exact item for the same exact same price.
95% of the people playing can't afford the items people spam there, and anyone that can probably has the same thing (or better) and doesn't want it. Items are basically worth what you can get for them. An HOD sword might be "valued" at 100K and 50 ectos or whatever now, but not many people are actually BUYING them for that price. You MIGHT get 100K and 20 ectos. BUt because people have it in their heads it is "worth" more they hold onto it.
Just like Victos Bulwark. People say they are "worth" 100K (or more), but if you can SELL One for 90 you are lucky. 80 s pretty much what people are offering. SO is it worth 80 or 90 or 100? Basically worth what you can get for it.
Iknew that coming in here. I am sure if I spammed the hell out of it I could get 25K for that bow. I just don't like wasting time in LA. But since more people can afford 25 and NOT afford 100,I would rather sell something that MIGHT be worth more. If the guy gets the best great for him, he gambled so did I. That is what selling unided is all about. I was selling unided armors for months at 5k a pop. I bet I sold 4 or 5 Sup Absorbs and 10 or more Superior vigs and dozens of superior monk runes. But I also sold hundreds of "worthless"ones two. That is the nature of the beast.
At least by testing it, it gives BOTH parties involved a little more info. As I said, you might have someone selling an 8 req Shadow for 12K, and have it be not modded and a +7 shelter or something. At least his way we know at least one of the upgrades, and the potential mod. If I needed another bow I would ID it and keep it. I don't therefore I want to sell.
