Tairen Bazaar - Opinions
Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2016 4:17 am
Hey - I wanted to poll opinions.
Previously trading back and forth on forums I found pretty fun, and I also found it great to keep an idea of value of objects because people would post their offers.
Now I understand if people don't want to tout the fact that they have 6 E-gowns, 4 heron's and a Dbelt sitting on their storage - but for those who don't care about that kind of thing - what do you think about making a conscious effort to actually haggle and trade in the Bazaar.
Someone posts offering a heron and asking for Jcuffs and Egowns - If someone posts offering 4 jcuffs but no Egown and is told they've already been mailed a higher bid - then we've got an idea of what suits.
Right now I just don't even both offering for most items because I know so many people with so much eq stored that I don't expect to be able to compete. Conversely I've then seen trades fail where noone gets a single offer (or anything non-ridiculous).
I'd expect some Etiquette. If someone's named an asking price, someone else has met (or bettered) that asking price, and the offer has been accepted, it would be expected to proceed. Caveats apply - someone saying actually sorry a friend asked for this instead, or no actually someone else has outbid you, would be reasonable - but if someone does this every time they do a trade - obviously its going to effect their reputation and willingness of others to go through with trades.
Also - particularly for the smobber crowd - is anyone interesting in trading/selling full kits.
i.e. I suck at reequiping, and then when I die I run out and fight wearing half a set and continue dying until I've cleared my stores of anything useful. Having say - A full kit and a vial, weapon and shield spread over two rents, would be something that would massively increase my survivability. Having someone willing to sell me that at a decent price..
