I will give 250K to the first person to find me a shield exactly like this picture (must be Tall, Max Armor, -2/-2), but the req can be as high as 10 (in fact, I'd kind of prefer a 10).



Additionally, I can give you the name of the person who has this shield (pictured above), if you want to try to talk them into selling it to you. I'd post the name, but I don't want him to get flooded with messages in game because he happens to have a shield I really want. I have tried at length to talk him into selling it, but there is no amount of gold or ecto he wants because he really likes the 7 requirement. He has indicated that he will only trade it for some other item in the game that is equally rare. If anyone has something as exceptionally rare as a max armor shield with two good mods and a 7 requirement, message me and I will give you his name and let you see if he is up for a trade, and I will then buy the shield from you for 250K.

I cannot imagine that these shields are so rare with higher requirements, though. I have seen dozens and dozens with different styles, and even a tall shield with a requirement of 12, but I need 10 or less. Let me know if you find one, have a guildmate who has one, or see one in a forum or spammed in a district in any country. Thanks!

EDIT - If someone wants to sell one to me for 5K, I'll let them, but if I get one quickly 250K is my offer. Obviously, this offer won't last forever, but I am very anxious to get a tall shield like this; thanks!

I believe the shield you are offering 250k for would sell for perhaps double that.

I have one that's almost like that, not quite. I would sell it for cheaper if you're interested.

I'm wondering if you have any empirical data at all to support your claim here, zidane888. I doubt anyone has more experience in the shield market than I do, and in point of fact, most people dump these shields at the merchant or sell them for 4 figure sums. I have many shields like this, of all sorts of different styles, that I have purchased at prices ranging from 0 to 30K. I have never paid more than 30K for -2/-2 shield, and though I am still in pursuit of a tall shield with those stats for my collection, I have plenty of other shields with the raw stastics I need.

In fact, if you can find me 1 person anywhere who will pay 600K for one of my -2/-2 shields, I will let you have 100K of the profit as a finder's fee.
(of course, they would have to pay in ecto and shards, as I have 1.4 million in gold and all the runes in the game unlocked, so I am no longer accepting gold and unIDed runes like I used to . . .)

Until then, please let me know if you ever see a tall shield like this. I will still buy other styles and higher requirements, even, but my quarter million promised here is reserved for a tall shield -2/-2 with a req of 10 or less. Thanks!

Okay, thanks, Con Quessso, that was an even more entertaining thread. I feel bad for Iron Ward bidding so long against himself, and many of the comments were classic.

Here is my offer, in light of this one instance of insanity inspired by exploitimonk builds: I will pay 250K for a tall shield (NOT a tower or defender like Iron Ward's or any other style of shield) or I will pay 5% more than the highest legitimate offer you have received, whichever is greater. I reserve the right to not purchase the shield if I have any suspicion whatsoever that the offer you have is not legitimate, but basically here is how my offer works. If you have a Tall Shield, max armor, -2 stance and -2 enchanted, with a requirement of 10 tactics (or less), and you have tried to sell it for a few weeks and the best offer you have is 20K, I will pay you 250K instead. If you have found an Iron Ward out there willing to pay 6M for your shield, I will pay 6.3M. Does that make sense? 250K or 5% more than your highest legitimate offer, whichever is greater. Thanks!
