Because the internet is full of assholes and children (both literal and mental children) and things like auction houses made haggling obsolete outside of scamming faglords trying to trick noobs.

I mean, when you can sell your shit to literally everyone on the server at no real cost to yourself while being able to set the minimum price and not having to worry about actually tracking down someone who wants the item then why they fuck would you ever bother haggling unless you were trying to scam idiots?

Auction houses killed player-player bargaining and haggling just like LFR features killed community engagement and turned every MMO into a bunch of assholes standing in place waiting to be magically teleported to the raid with minimal communication.

>mfw selling stuff in the trade channel for the last half hour or so
>large amount of stock so selling it off bit by bit to individuals

At that point I just undercut him, until he is selling at 50% what he wanted to sell for, while I've not emptied my stock.
I then resume selling at normal price.
But fucking hell, those small trade wars you get into are annoying. I just want to sell this charcoal, man.

I'm already giving you a fucking sick deal you jewish fucks, I just want to not deal with a horrible auction house and take months selling a single item.

I actually dabble in ArcheRage economics which considering it has trade packs, and items only gained from doing those (like charcoal), it gets just as shitty.

Unless he just laugh at your offer

>I'm already giving you a fucking sick deal you jewish fucks

that's why you set it higher than what you're expecting to get, so you can haggle and cut down to what you were expecting or a bit more preferably

Well did you expect me to just offer you the same fucking price I could pay in AH, why do you think Im spamming global for you dumbass?

Do you expressly state in your advertisements that you don't want to haggle?
Because if you don't then you just report anyone who tries to haggle with you then you're just being a stupid dickhead.

As much as I hate what WoW turned into, I still miss helping people with shit like that.

Do people still use the neutral auction houses to transfer items cross-faction in WoW?
I used to sit there with an auction bot to snipe such items for free money

>get a shit ton of bags made
>tailor refuses to accept any compensation for the literal twenty minutes of crafting

no it's not
most of the time the retard already has a price in mind and is only doing this to see if he can rope in a retard who doesn't know any better

Yes, I'm sure that's why employers ask someone interviewing what compensation they would like to receive before making an offer.

Some times you just need to waste a bit of time, so it's either doing that or standing AFK in front of the auction house.
Might as well do something productive while you're at it.

>warframe

Only if the person actually wants to haggle.
Most people selling vidya items are dumb as rocks and want way over what something is actually worth because they know some sucker will come along eventually who'll just buy it.

This shit right here, is why I stopped with TF2 trading. Got sick and tired of retards assuming Im a greedy fuck, just because I wanted to haggle. 60% of the time to, they didn't even stay long enough for me to try and say, "Lets work something out."
Fucking braindead troglodytes, atleast try make an attempt at bartering a lil, instead of leaving immediately because I didn't slash the price in half.

Please do. Its ground zero for the worst in-game economy there is.

My tactic only really worked on greedy people who listed the item well below vendor price, did you not lose out from the 20% auction cut or whatever the rate was?

You are doing it right.
Undercutting by a large armount is much, much worse.

The real answer is to dodge AH tax. So devs refuse to offer a direct trade interface, and meme that direct trading must be a scam.

Because haggling only exists for the selling or the buyer to scam retards who don't know the value of their item; just list your selling price like or normal person or get blacklisted.

MMOs without auction houses aren't worth playing.

What an idiot that kid must be. I loved people like you in MMOs since I would just buy up all your stock then resell it at market price.

Sellers pay a non-refundable 5% listing fee up front, and 10% at point of sale. It's just a straight up gold sink. Buyers can bid whatever they want at no cost - their money is held in escrow until they either succeed in their purchace or choose to withdraw their bid for a full refund. On top of this, the game has no direct trade interface and player to player mail is highly limited with no way to enforce trades through it. (even WoW had CoD mail iirc)
This means trying to trade outside of the auction house system actually IS fraught and carries risk of scamming. I think there's even a daily limit on gold transfers via mail too. Players get warned all the time to not trade via mail because of the scam risk.

Absolutely disgusting. I'm glad the only MMO I play is ArcheRage, where direct trading is allowed AND scamming is allowed.

ArcheAge is shit. ArcheRage is good.

And it's a true sandbox. Very political, as you HAVE to have connections to get shit done.
Trade packs are an actual item you have to haul, and can be stolen, so piracy is huge.
Scamming is allowed, so be as big a dick as you want.

Fucking braindead people who hate any offer you might make due to a very precise idea in mind of the price then proceed to hate anyone who wants to know the price ahead of time.

Finally a thread with my people in it. Thank you.

i ask for offers because i want to know if you know the price of an item or not. if you say something too low, I will say "lol" at you. if you say something higher than what i have in mind, then i'll sell it to you.

that's how it is, kid. deal with it.

There is no bargain, they'll only sell for the price they have in mind or very slightly lower. They're asking you to offer to see if you're a fool who offers too much.

Keep in mind people usually do this and these undercuts last seconds because of it

Roblox has a trading system where you can trade special items. Some of them are literally worth millions of real dollars. Alot of them in the thousands. I do it mainly as a small hobby. I am kinda known in the trading community which makes me want to fucking die already

You can sell the items on some limited/robux buying sites. Theres plenty of them. What items do you have for example?

what's a tire kicker setup? Something like inspecting the car beforehand?

someone who is indecisive about buying so they string you along forever and end up not buying

>Send out a message saying I'm selling an item for 100k
>Someone says they want to buy it, no haggling or anything
>Invite him to my party and find him to trade him
>"Oh sorry I only have 80k is that ok"
>Tell him the price is 100k. I'm convinced he's trying to scam me but I just apologize and kick him from the party
>He keeps whispering me every once in a while for the next few hours, saying he now has 81k, 82k, etc and if that's enough
>End up realizing I'm probably talking to a little kid who's been grinding for the past few hours for this item and just sell it to him once he reached 90k since I feel bad

>kid actually runs off and hustles to give cash to you
Sounds based to me

shit i got ghost fire sword and last i checked it was worth around 10,000+ rubox.

what the fuck is the conversion rate from rubox to real world cash

thanks, there's a world of trading terms out there i've yet to pick up.

Tire kicker is a term boomers use to describe someone inspecting a vehicle but not guaranteeing a purchase. If I want to test drive your 1970s land yacht before buying then I would be a tire kicker.

and this is the precise reason for OP's post. idiot fucking kids who want 3x the value for something and would rather play pretend snobbish rich guy than be the dude who posts their price into chat and is laughed off the server

Someone who doesn't want to get scammed

when the Yea Forumsscape runescape private server launched in 2013/14 (I don't remember exactly when) I was competing with a guy called Gregor to get 99 runecrafting. This was before there was official old school RS servers

Neither of us were autistic enough to actually finish it but it was fun being the only person on the server who could craft nats for a while, and because the economy was so young nobody had cash to pay for stuff, people had to give me their drops to pay for them
I went through a phase of buying every d long that was in circulation and alching them just because I wanted to

>Game has multiple currencies that all need to be converted
>List an item for 1 unit of the top currency
>"Hey man I'll give you 20 of these, 500 of these and 3.2 million of these, the price checks out :)"

The retards asking for offers aren't haggling, they know if they actually told you the price they were looking for you'd see it was a garbage deal.

introducing cash shop and trading was the worst thing to happen to tf2 and by extension pc gaming

I only ask their offer if I am not planning on selling an item, but they are still asking to buy it. Used to happen to me all the time on TF2, and I'd make good money doing it because typically they would pay plenty for it. This was pre-backpack.tf days, only using those usually outdated spreadsheet sites.

>how much for that item?
>"offer"
>I'll do 40
>"I can get 100p easily for this"
>okay bye
>couple hours pass
>"Hey I still got this item and if you buy it now I'll sell it for 80p, sweet deal right!"
>no thx bought it from someone else for 45p
>"liar, and to think I was being nice"
>dude just check the marketplace
>"that's just a scam"
>half hour passes
>"will you do 60?"
I hate it when someone tries to shill their overpriced shit to even after you tell them to fuck off, but warframe is fill of these idiots.

Yeah that's fair.

Assuming you really did buy one for 45, and they're easy to move around that price.
>I don't need one anymore, but I'll take it off your hands for 35 if you really need it gone
>resell for 40

Dungeon Defenders is a great game to play solo. but absolutely horrific to play with others.

I'd rather deal with the nightmare of having to swap between 4 characters before the timer runs out than having to deal with some of these retarded leechers who build shit wrong.

>scammer blocked :)

This is completely unrelated but speaking of Warframe, is it worth getting back in to? I only played for a little while like a year ago with no premium stuff and stopped after unlocking the special moon area when you have to do like 5 secret objectives to progress and I never managed to get past that.

no, the main draw is only playing different warframes. there is still no end game, its still grinding simulator 2019 and its still a game about time gated reputation even after obsolescence

Check the latest tennocon and decide for yourself.

I would have no problem trading based on the marketplace price, but there was only one person that wasn't trying to scam me out of 100+ people.

It was just nekros prime systems and I didn't feel like farming it since it was the last piece I needed.
If you think empyrean looks cool then yeah.

>selling item

It's not fucking scamming if the guy is so thirsty for the sale he keeps pestering you with price cuts after the fact. Especially if the item is available elsewhere for less than half his starting price.

If you can't handle the pressure don't barter.

Anyone else spending more time playing the jew on warframe than playing the actual god damn thing?

I'm just happy I sold my buds back in the day when they hit like 24-25 keys. They're fucking worthless now (as they always should have been in all fairness)

>phoneposter

Especially in game economies, you can just about passively jew people by relying on their impatience. Buy from the people you notice desperately spamming WTS, sell to the people desperately spamming WTB. Especially the faggots who undercut/outbid themselves multiple times in a play session.

>My little sister started playing roblox so I checked my old account. I have shit worth millions of robux, anyway to sell it for real money?
Bruh do the good onii-chan thing and transfer all those robux to your sister's account. The fuck is wrong with you?

Did you made real money by selling virtual items Yea Forums?

This even works in runescape, a game with an automated auction house. Put all your sell offers at 110% and your buy offers at 90%, wait and you will always get cheap items. People waste so much money just to have an autosell transaction.

>you make an offer

I hate these retarded faggots

NO THATS TOO LOW

>Check escorts one day because hear backpages got shutdown to see what's all the fuzz about
>SERIOUS OFFERS ONLY, ONLY GENTLEMEN

what the fuck does this even mean you fucking leech, god I wasn't even planning to buy a prostitute but holy fuck do I hate women more after that

Escorts have lots of different rules depending on which you're talking to. Gentlemen only means they want older guys. No AA means no blacks (im not kidding, this is a really common one)

Prostitutes don't want young guys because theres a chance you know or meet each other if you're both young, and if they are older then there is a risk you meet their kid one day then have a can of worms that way.

No black people is funny to me because apparently groids universally try to haggle on prices with escorts, and are generally unclean.

>what the fuck does this even mean you fucking leech
Literally all it means is they expect to be paid first won't fuck methheads and usually they won't fuck black people.

>someone who is indecisive about buying
A tire-kicker is anyone who is concerned about being ripped off and buying a lemon. As they should be, buying something on craigslist.

>that player instantly leaves dungeon party after before you can pass the bid
truly a game of reflexes

how is this even possible, you can't even textmode idle anymore

Why did some flash games have really fucking good music? Im thinking Marderk and Sonny in particular, those games had amazing soundtracks.

PoE in a nutshell

>Economy crashes
How did it happen in your game?

There's nothing wrong with PoE trading.

What are some games where people had intentionally tried to fuck up the economy beyond repair?

buy a premium stash and currency tab faggot
I have to deal with absolutely nothing you say

That's why price fixing, dummy listings, flipping, and rampant scamming is so common right?

get the price checker script bro
Ctrl + D will solve your problems

Banned :)

TF2 trading is dumb to begin with. How the fuck did 1scrap=1weapon even work

When you're selling your old account from a game, how do you find the balance between waiting for your rare stuff to increase in value while risking the game shutting down?

Attached: 123345498744.png (647x690, 838K)

I do this intentionally because I like fucking with faggots like you. I've dropped multiple mats pricing by over 20% because of this.

Seriously I wish I could kill these niggers

>textmode idle anymore
Wasn't that only possible for like a week before they shut it down?

I just use to spend hundreds of hours trading instead of actually playing the game. Was like an addiction. I would server hop all day and run a server scanner to pick up rare items off noobs and go flip them. Backpack was easily over 500 dollars at one point and I didn't cash out cause muh virtual items

It's kind of cool how the devs let you get premium currency by playing the game and trading, not many games do this.
