Upcoming System: "Consignment Shoppe!"

[Cheah]

i tried already, bought 2 new character slots
and got 2 free auction slots

Yep. I tried too cheaper way. Nice

[jonboy]

But you still have to jib around and login and out all the tone right?

[Htiek]

@jonboy
yes, just login and logout to list item
if u want access stash then u need finish first 3 quests

[Riccits]

what i saw in market is that are too much pinks for the ppl.. market is is overflowded with "ao2"-pinks for example and the "junk"-pinks of ao3. prices of 1-2k makes totally impossible to sell.... market shows now real value of items.. most of pinks (iam sure for horus and osiris) will be liquidated in future..

its fine to find all the lower lvl pinks there, but i think ppl buy rareley buy some of them at those prices, so when u post a item, i dont think that in 4h will happen much... leveling guys wont pay so much for them...

some guys sells greens for some hundrets k... or sells a alien staff fate for over 100k... lol..

i didnt sold anything yep... thers to much stuff in there at dumping prices...

that are my impressions

[Gamelova]

No its not I earned 2k from a lvl 50 pink but I thought that was cheap but in your opinion its not..

* The wastelands
The wasteland would be a large open valley where new players and veterans could play together in one place. In the wastelands there would be rouges,theifs and out laws. so its kinda like the wild west. and you could just free roam this place killing animals and hunting wanted theifs and getting a reward so it would be like finding a boss killign it and getting a reward. There would be differnt sections for differnt level players . so one setion would be 10-15 then 15-20 then 20-25 then 25 to 30 then 40 to 50. in thsi place everyoen wouldt be in a party you would have to invite people into your group then go about hunting anaimals and theifs. Also if you made this place you could have events like horse races and other stuff. i think the watelands shoudl be like 20 platinum because its a big place and would be LOADS of fun. if you amde this i would play alot again. Please make this i think it would be a real good thing for the game and you would make loads of money

The auction house is amazing, I'm glad it was added to Pocket Legends.

[Ravenous]

My two biggest complaints about CS:

1. A lot of the items lists the level wrong when searching.
2. If no items match the filtered criteria, it should state that rather than just being blank. (You cannot tell if it is loading vs an empty search)

Hopefully these can be fixed soon.

[Estraz]

I second Ravenous' opinion.

Cinco wrote in the initial annoucement of the Balefort Castle consignment shop AKA the auction house:

The Shoppe will take 1% of your asking price when you list the item.

Actually the shoppe takes much more than 1% of the asking price per item sale!

I just put an item up for sale for 1050 gold. 1% of 1050 gold item sale price would only be 10-11 gold!
- which I think would be a fair amount for the auction to take per attempt to sell item
- if selling in auction is not to be made totally free for all items
- because it cost platinum to buy 5 additional auction slots, I really think it should not cost money per item sale also!

Immediately before I put that single item up for sale, I checked my inventory and had 16422 gold in my inventory, after putting item up for sale I only have 15577 gold left
- this makes a difference of 845 gold for an item of 1050 gold, which actually amounts to 80.5% of the item sale price!

I.e. the auction shop just robbed my inventory of 835-845 gold for an item - that if I'm lucky anyone buy it within the 3 days limit
- will only give me a surplus of 215 gold, instead of the 1040 I expected from what was written by Cinco, the auction taking 1% of item sale price only!

If my item is NOT bought within the 3 days limit so I'll have to put it up for sale twice for the same price (others take around same amount for same item, which is not a lot)
- I'll probably be giving the auction 2* 845 = 1690, for an item sold for only 1050, if I'm "lucky" selling it in 2nd try ..

THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT, I presume?! - that I'll end up paying the shoppe way more than the selling price, just for trying to sell my item twice ????

[Riccits]

this system is ok so to avoid itmes beeing inserted overpriced, so everyone have to insert the stuff to a price that will sell to not loose insert costs!
its a rip off but if this wouldnt be so, prices of itmes would be higher!
the CS saves me hours of time wich i would need to spend to sell in town... so iam ok with the costs.
insert items at 1k or lower doesnt pay anyway... sometimes would be better liquidate it..

[kallima]

The cost of posting an item for auction increases in accordance with the duration it is listed. A 10k item costs 200 gold to be listed for the minimum 3 hours (2%) and increases with the amount of time the seller chooses. It does clearly list your cost below the price you input. Typically I don't list anything over 23 hours unless it's an item of extreme rarity, and I rarely use the 23 hours unless it's an item that has lots of competition. It usually only takes 3-11 hours for me to sell an item.

If the cost annoys you you can sell the way so many, including myself do, announcing it in Towne, typically Balefort.

Also, the minimum cost to list an item is at least 100 gold.

[Lesrider]

While I agree the listing fees are a bit over-the-top for lower priced items, it does tell you before you list it how much it will cost. If I saw it was going to cost that much to list my cheap item, I wouldn't bother with it. Also, I never put anything in for more than 12 (11) hours. If it doesn't sell in that amount of time, it's likely too high a price or just nor worth buying.

I agree, items 1k or under should be free (or almost free) to list to make it worth listing instead of just liquidating.
But until something like that happens, look at the fee before you list! You might want to try posting those cheap items on the forum or advertising in town instead of using the CS.

Basing from those numbers, the reason why it seems more than 1% is because of the duration cost, no?

So lower priced, listed items cost "more" to list because your paying the duration cost rather than the actual 1%?

Hmmm, was that rhetorical? I hope not, because I'm gonna answer, yes! But the minimum listing price begins at 100gold and you're still paying a percentage of the amount at which you've chosen to list it.

[Kalielle]

Wow Redbridge. Nice data!

This confirms the impression I always got when listing: the lower priced the item, the more expensive it is to list it for a long time. I think it makes sense to have it that way. The devs probably don't want the store cluttered all the time with tons of 1k items listed for days. High-priced items are not that many so they don't clutter the store so much, plus it's more understandable that you'd need a few days to find a buyer for an item that costs several hundred k.

Nope, not rhetorical at all. Wouldn't wanna assume "easy" knowledge only to be wrong later :P

Thanks!

1. There is a minimum cut the cs takes regardless of the price.

2. The cut increases as the price increases. Around a 1% cut, but it decreases slightly as the price goes up.

3. There is a relatively constant fee for upgrading the time listing of an item.

This is demonstrated in Redbridge's data quite nicely. It accounts for the apparent large cut for low-cost items, as well as the fact that putting expensive items up for 3 days doesn't seem to cost much more than 3 hours. The upgrading cost increases very litle, if at all, in relation to the item price.
