Just a little tip I feel like needs to be expressed for all the buyers an sellers..
When someone sets an auto. That is the right then and there price. It’s like paying more to skip the wait line. When I ask for an offer just because my auto is high does not mean that is the only price I want. Most people want to sell their item in a timely fashion. For ppl fishing prices it’s different but if there’s an auto most likely they do intend to sell the item. However, from personal experience the auto is almost never the fixed price. So place your offer if you want to beat the c/o, otherwise don’t waste time. Ofc you don’t have to take my advice but it does help to be efficient with trading and help a little with the confusion of prices.
Example of efficient trading:
I’m selling an item.
Lowest I will sell it for is the current offer of 40m
My auto is 60m but that’s high for the item
I will take offers until I stop getting offers
Last offer I get for 2 days is 50m
I will then sell that item for the 50m offer
Example of in-efficient trading by seller:
I’m selling an item
My auto is 100m and current offer is 80m
I go 2 weeks without a higher offer
My auto is my fixed price (100m) therefore wasting buyer’s time
Example of in-efficient trading by buyer:
I’m selling and item, auto 70m
Buyer asks how much I am selling
I say c/o 50m auto 70m
Buyer says nthx 70m too high or offers 40m
Buyers place your offers for the items you want, sellers know the prices you want to sell your item, lowest you’ll take and auto price.
Even if this helps just one deal go smoothly I’m happy. Most my deals go smooth following this practice figured I’d share a little insight
Edit: Fixed prices and autos are 2 different thing btw ��
