Paying just to list items in CS

[call it]

So don't suggest that merchants should be eliminated and prices should be fixed.

I never did. I simply asked that I should at the very least be allowed to edit the price on a listing that I have paid for to suit the ever changing market prices.

I didn't mean you specifically, but other people who posted in this thread were suggesting that. The only problem I see with your suggestion about being able to adjust your price is it will become a game of cat & mouse with pricing, and the results could be a quick crash of prices on a particular item. What if I just stand in the CS and every time you lower your price I go 100 gold lower than you? Then what?

I think the system is fine the way it is. Be careful what you wish for.

I have to say that when I started playing PL, I was very annoyed with CS, too. To an extent that at some point I gave up and I thought that this was never going to work for me

What it takes is a little experience to learn when and at what price to sell. And patience, of course.
Don't list straight away if you don't know the prices; look how much other sellers sell this item for and observe how quickly the item is sold. Then, you have to think, did it sell or did it expire?

Also, you don't have to offer the lowest price. This is true:

As a merchant, I would just leave my item if one is listed for 1 gold less. Once that one sells, then mine will sell next. If many people list lower than mine, then obviously the market price of the item is dropping and I must relist at a lower price...

Following the same logic, you could list a bit higher than the lowest price, or wait for the others to sell, then list.

This makes a lot of sense especially if more than 6-7 sellers list the same item. Which means, if you just try to list a bit lower, someone of those above you will definitely decide to re-list to beat you. Remember, for most of the merchants listing fee is not an issue

If you don't want to sell to a merchant (or don't know anyone you can trust) you can always list with a discount. Not a huge one, just a bit more than what you would get from selling to a merchant.

Wait and see. It's like playing a sub-game of PL lol.

Yes, this is true. If there was no cost to list, I would list everything I had, even if I don't want to sell, and would list at high prices just to see if by chance someone bought. The amount of items in the cs would go up dramatically.

I don't think they even looked at or considered cs since it was created... Needs a huge overhaul.

This is a good point.

It isn't it that much gold to list.. You're acting like your spending millions just to list something..

[Phoenixking]

couldnt exagerate that much but depends on the items value if its like lets say 1m than you would lower it 5K

A percantage is better

[Livemau]

A percantage is better

it is a percentage
for dragon items its like 100k to list normally if for a gold cap

[DoesntCareAtAll9]

That was the dumbest idea.. It's bad enough that we farmed the item -_-
