what really irritates about merchers

[Xenobiotic]

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.

The last part is genius, nice one def .

That was already suggested earlier in the thread, happened to see it while skimming for merching strategies.

That seems too complicated for AL. The buy-it-now store is officially called the consignment shop, and consignment is placing an item to another person/thing in hopes of selling while still retaining ownership of the item. It's not an auction house, that's a player term. It would be pretty neat to be able to bid on items against other players, but you'd have to take into account the many copies of the same items people would post. If you want an item, are you going to bid on all of them? An auction would only be effective for the rare items that everyone wants, like mythics or arcanes.

The art of merching is just like fighting a boss, the seller or buyer, trying to reach a goal, the item or gold, with minimum deaths possible, profit loss.

So if it were for me i would just eliminate the CS.
(For me it is limitative and makes things super easy to the extent people now want fixed price for items).

Then i will build a self selling system that includes:
1. world chat where everyone can partecipate saying what they want to sell and
2. A banner over your head where you can list the things you want to sell so any map you enter it can be seen






This will remove the help the cs gives and Real Merching will start.

I know it is rustic and basic but this is how i would like it to be.

Really? People want good fast (which is how many merchers get by in the first place snatching deals) and a basic guideline of what their item is worth so they can go back to farming not a Stock Exchange sim.

The problem is that merching is the only way to get gold without opening over 9000 crates. Farming can only give a starter fund for players to start merching with expensive things. A nice alternative way to farm gold is to buy an empty mythic (with a starter fund received by farming), insert gems and sell it 700k more expensive. But it requires patience, you need a couple of weeks to get all 3 grand gems without any platinum. Merching gives much faster profit. That's why Paradise Pier is full of noob merches who want to earn lots of gold easily and start flaming just after you try to sell an item for it's normal (close to CS) price. Only few merches ask politely and don't rip off...

I could also say the same thing for expecting obscene prices like 26m for a vanity and wondering why the rich won't pay. O_O

Actually, 26m Jester vanity was overpriced too Zeus XD

I know it was, that was my point, lol. I personally sold mine for 17.5m. I'm a merch, yes, but I like giving people good deals and not ripping them off entirely.
