Why are people killing the market on purpose?
Comments
Just like there are people who will post multiple listings on an Auction board to make it look like multiple people are underselling themselves, it's just another elaborate attempt at driving down the price of something to buy it, and resell it later for alot more.
There are also people who will try to "shoot themselves in the foot", or under appreciate and undersell an item just to take a dump on future sellers to establish a consensus that an item is not needed, or not that great just to be a malicious cancer.
Ok, great logic there.
Let people sell low to get rid of stuff faster. Stop being self entitled jerks. Their stuff - their price.
I had a spicy meme to post but I don't wanna get banned
I was able to buy Orange Floral Fairy Wings at 300k this morning on Mari. I didn't even want them really, but the super low price told me to grab it. :x
It's pretty funny sometimes. Wish something I actually wanted dropped like that.
The AH is not made of infinite money that is randomly generated at will. It's comprised of consumers who are real people, with real likes and dislikes and tastes in fashion. They will spend ridiculous amounts on things they really want, and refuse expensive prices on things they don't want. And there tends to be trends: When it comes to wings, I've noticed that the following tends to fish the highest prices:
1. Wings with combat/idle animations (bonus if they're black or white)
2. Enchantable wings (bonus if they're black or white or have animation)
3. Feathery, decently sized (*not tiny/miniature) wings that are ALSO black or white (must be both; any other colors are sold very cheaply)
4. Dyeable wings of any kind.
The Abaddon box, unfortunately, does not have any of these top contenders. So I do not anticipate that this is something people would want enough to pay higher than 5mil for (*depending on which server's market is. But basically, no higher than an average, middle of the road wing price).
People tend to really want whatever the latest and greatest gacha has to offer, and unless the item is in high demand (Cheerful Bride outfit), they're usually willing to leave older gacha items in the dust so they can focus on raising money for the new gacha. Having someone sell an Abaddon wing at around 3 mil is pretty reasonable, and is at a price most likely to sell in this current context (because Abaddon stuff is "old gacha").
Another thing to consider is that there are a lot of people in the game are not rich enough to drop more than 4 mil on a single item on a whim; those who are usually deal in gacha themselves, and likely already have the item in question (so wouldn't bother spending to get it anyways). A lot of people who may not be terribly rich might be more willing to spend on items that are practical (training pots, enchants), and so they may prefer to save their money for those items instead of fashion.
No one is stopping you from trying to sell higher, and you may actually get a sale by someone who desperately wants it. But that may be nothing more than a rare anomaly, and not a guaranteed one either. You might have to be lucky enough to find a rich whale who didn't dabble in the Abaddon box, but that will simply take time. Perhaps even months worth of time trying to sell the item. But if you're committed, it's possible. A lot of people are currently looking through the Wings slot of the AH, because of the new gacha, so now is definitely a good time to sell wings (because they're more likely to look through wings and notice them).
As to the reason why people undercut themselves or sell things at lower prices: I cannot speak for everyone. But for myself? I often find myself having too much stuff to sell, and only 12 auction house slots. I don't really have the space to waste on items that take weeks on weeks to sell, especially when I get new stuff. So yes, I will sometimes sell things at a much lower price just to get rid of the item and make space for new stuff, especially if the new stuff I get is currently "hot" on the market.
I hope this helps! ^ ^
If you think its being ruined as in players ruining "Your" chance for the big golds then I guess its a problem for "you" but not me or anyone else with gold in the pockets willing to pay what they want.
Don't want to be "One of those" but this post is just plain stupid just sell the items for the price you like and if no one takes it? Well deal with it, your not playing with idiots who prefer to buy high instead of low, anyone would prefer to buy low. You can't control what others can price items, let them do what they like and do your own thing.
Posts are becoming more selfish than good and I can't be the one to say in the matter THAT is just what is sad about this post. Things like this happens in games, its reality.
On another note, why do people pay more for the exact same item? Sometimes I'll put an item up for sale at a higher price than other exact items to anticipate the price rising. I expect it to sell over night after the cheaper ones have sold. A few minutes later mine sells. I look at the AH board and see the cheaper ones still for sale. It baffles me. Do people not sort by price? Or maybe they're feeling extra generous?
Probably OP bought them so they could trick people into buying them for higher.
Kidding. Just saying random conspiracies like one guy did above.
Can I get a title?
No, but I can include you in my documentary.
Mabinogi: Players from HELL.
Seller who is a buyer trying to buy this thing but can't get enough gold because their things are not selling for enough and so they rage about it. That's OP in a nutshell.
Solution: Get off your butt OP and make more gold other ways along with the stuff you are trying to sell.
But these days players like them just get to lazy to make extra gold instead of JUST selling...
May the god of wealth have mercy on the souls of the lazy~ XD
I dont care who you are or what you are AND if I want to sell it for 250K THAT MEANS I WANT TO.
In this day and age, truth isn't truth!
Not surprised if Gaea's got deleted...
