what really irritates about merchers

[Samdegreat]

Like already mentioned its like life...
You have your individual classes-

Those who have too much gold and don't care if there ripped off they just want the item they desire.
(Plat buyers)

Those "business men" who just buy items of the poor and advertise and sell items to the ones who pay anything for them. (Merchers/merchants)

Then at rock bottom you have the workers at are the key feature to this kind of society, without them nothing would exist, they earn all the items and unfair trade occurs they end up getting little proportion of what is yet to be made allowing them to just about make a living (in this case buy decent gear)
(Newbies/farmers)

Don't criticise society, you know if you were part of the "upper class" you would easily take advantage!

As you "chavs" say YOLO

From what i am getting from the OP, it seems that everyone who merches (nearly everyone who is rich), is an evil medusa devouring everyone's gold potential in the hopes of gaining their own. I havent read through the comments, as i feel as though they probably have insufficient nonsense used to berate colliding opinions. Am i right or am i right? As for my opinion (which no one will probably care about), merching is life. If you dont take your understanding of the way things are seriously, you're eventually going to lose. If you give in to a merchant's offer (even if you are trying to sell for reasonably more), you do so by your own greed. You arent forced to sell them your item. You do it because you want to make quick cash.

Im a bit confused. Seems like there are two slightly different conversations in one thread. lol

The topic has been over-beaten and conclusions have been jumped to. You now have 3 options: 1. Derail 2. Keep repeating the points as if it will make a difference 3. Let the thread be ignored and die down

Goodnight

I agree with making lower merch fees but only for high value items.

[Htiek]

I often receive pms who ask for discount or try to lowballs.

Just reply "no ask just buy" or "no gold no ask"

Its work perfect.

[Gensin]

VERY, normal for me you will just have to adjust and control yourself to stick with the price, if the buyer wants discount give him/her descent one.

That's a very shallow generalization. And false I might add

Aedenos there is noting bad in low balling and trying to make some profit or trying to manipulate market.
Manipulating the market is not the purest of all actions but trust me it is so
difficult that if you succeed you are only to be praised.

The number 1 rule in merch has always been: buy low, sell high.

There are also hundreds of threads and pseudo guides on the forum about merching this way to get rich, and nobody has ever said a word against it, infact it has always been promoted and approved.

So why all this ruckus now?.... (rhetorical question).

Elite, please read my post and what I was responding to


Edit: Maybe I misunderstood what he was saying.

Also, there's no "ruckus" as you say. Rather a discussion about something that been s problem for a few seasons now, IMO.

I never said anything was wrong with lowballing OR merchanting. I'll just say it one more time. There is a flaw in the system. And I already explained it. It has nothing to do with low balling. In fact, the problem arises before an offer is ever made.

And, in response to Samdagreat's post, he is absolutely correct. However, just like society and real life, things can always be improved.

I was selling colton for 95k (cs price 105k) and this merch pmd me saying he'd buy for 90k, because "lolol no one will buy come back to me when u cant sell that". Outta curiousity I sold it to him for 90k, hopped on my alt and asked him how much he was selling for. The answer? 95k. I said "lol no one will buy at that high price I'll buy for 90k he said "lol don't try to merch off me noob"

LOL that's a lot of work for 5k. Maybe that's why I can't merch.

[epicrrr]

Whats irritating is merch dude buy your items for 50k then after deal he goes shouting sell for 75k.. after he told you al those crap. Lol

[Swimmingstar]

This thread should be a merching guide... very great tips.

What AL really needs is a REAL Auction system. Right now what it has is just a Buy-it-now price system due to which items keep getting undercut. If they could add a Minimum bid price and a Buy-it-now price, it would be just great. That ways a seller can take offers and an item can be sold to the highest offer he has, if nobody buys it for the BIN price. Also, auction fee can be deducted once the item has been SOLD instead of taking away money at start whether or not it sells.
