What is a good price to sell the Imperial Motif?

UnholyPerfection

G'day guys,

I just looted the Imperial Motif and I'm wondering what I should ask for it.

Thanks for any direction

It's a tough one to sell because while being rare, anyone with the Imperial edition can craft imperial armor, and the style is not in as high demand as is Daedric. That being said: 20-30k would be a safe bet.

As much as you can get away with.

This is true, however, imperial seems to be the rarest of the motifs and a lot of people did not buy the imperial edition so...

i found one the other dya, was an imp, but still could have used for lore completion, I decied I wanted more bank space. posted for 30k, but that was to test the water. some one offered me 25k +COD expenses, which is 26350 ish. But honestly I see more deadrics being sold than Imperial Cyrods so it's still up to the suppler and the demand for the product. the price is whatever you want it, but know that these motfs really arent that special to spend that much money

Aeradon

If you are willing to sell it for 10k, I'll buy it (: COD to @Aeradon‌

Want to offer you more but.. I only have 10k

I've asked 2 different people what they were selling theirs for. One said 75k, the other 100k.

I'd rather open 10,000 cabinets than pay that kind of money, and I imagine I'm not alone. Not to mention that not many people are likely to have that cash just sitting on their character. If you want to realistically be able to sell it, I'd say 20k-30k, if you just want to get rid of it quickly, you can go lower, and if you're super patient and want to empty someone's bank account, go for the crazy prices.

Pricing is also highly determined by your particular trade guilds, although motifs might be the easiest items to sell in /zone, too.

"WTS Imperial Motif PST"

>"I'll give you 20k for it."

"Others offered 1,000,000,000g for it."

Yes, I love it when players do that. I don't answer "PST Offers" because what they're really doing is holding a silent auction where they rig the price.

Where did you find the Imperial Motif? It's the only motif I don't have but after filling dozens of orders, I have never been requested to craft Imperial style. I'd say the estimates about 20-30k are about accurate.

Exactly. I don't 'make offers' to people who aren't bothered to list a price.

They're hoping to get some noob who offers way above the average amount. If they don't, they don't sell, and just wait. Wouldn't it be awesome if businesses did this everywhere?

Walk into Wal-Mart, and see "PST" on all the price-tags, then the seller can pick and choose who they sell to, for the price they want?

Of course, for rare items especially, this method of selling works. You get one or more people who are about to lose their minds looking for the item, so they pour on the offer. For some items, it really is a 'seller's market'. But honestly, I've not yet seen a single item in this game that makes me that eager enough to own it where I would risk allowing myself to get ripped off.

what's your point? the buyer can also "pick and choose" with respect to what they're willing to pay for any given item and walk away is the ask is higher than what the item is worth to them.

The bottom line is, if "PST with offers" is too difficult a proposition for someone then that person really shouldn't be buying said item since they apparently have no idea what said item is really worth TO THEM, it's a simple as using your brain to calculate a maximum price that you're willing to pay based on what you believe the value of the item is to you and having the discipline to walk away when the ask is higher than that.

ThePonzzz

Get what you can. As more and more players get to VR, the rare motifs aren't as rare anymore. If someone honestly will pay 50k to 100k for one? Sell it. Don't even think about it, just sell that! If you're a looter and plan to play awhile, I'm sure you'll come across another you can if (if lore completion is a big deal for you).

Basically, I guess what this thread is getting at, the economy is 100% participant governed, by seller and buyer, The first prices set are always set way high, and then people see it's true value once more and more drop. If you wait and refuse to pay the exorbitant prices, of course eventually the prices will drive down. They always do, but the overall player trends will set how far they drop. Much like our own economy with some products EX: XBOX1/PS4. I know i want both but I'm not going near them until they drop in price, like they always do.

Edit: well 90% since i'm sure ZOS has stuck their hands in by giving people gold for issues

DireKit

A good price would be THE BUYERS IMMORTAL SOOOOOOUL.

Or they will let it under the current price and you will save some gold...your loss.

Yes they probably expect a decent price but you can actually barter with them.

I don't usually put a price down when I list things I want to sell, but that is usually because I tend to sell below what the general market is charging, and it's worth it to get that item out of my inventory. I've been selling basic motifs for about 400, for instance. It isn't as if I've put forth much effort to find them.

Of course, I'm very rarely actually listing things I have to sell, and just whispering people that post WTB's. I do a fair bit of straight up trading, as well (upgrade runes for upgrade mats, etc).

That said, if a person says "WTB (insert basic motif here), 1k" damn right I'm going to take the 1k. :-)

My guild mate found it in VR zones, 50+ and 50++
Friend of mine found it in zone 3 and 5.
From personal research, its available in all zones. At a very low rate though, there are reports of farming in VR zones post nerf getting 3 Imperials out of 13 motifs within 2 hours.

I got one in the Daggerfall Bank at level 1. Kept it, and used it. Then I got one there again and sold it for 30k.

You people are helping this game go the way of WoW and others were items sell way beyond their actual value. Imperial may be harder to find because those that have the Imperial Edition can convert any piece of armor to the imperial style. Only Imperial race characters can craft the style without the book. That was just for clarification that I'm sure most everyone knows.

Gold is not that easy to come by. I don't know of anyone that desperate to buy a motif off of someone for 50Kg much less 100Kg. That is what MMO players from other MMO titles initiate. The stupid astronomical prices for items. They are merely gold hoarders and should be avoided. You may plan to play this game for several years. And yes, you may find a use for the gold someday. But right now, what are you gonna buy that you can obtain already with a little effort?

These astronomical prices are gonna also have un-educated MMO players screaming for a way to acquire in-game cash for real money. Maybe that is what you want. Me, I don't. I hope they never offer ESO-cash in their store. The day they do they might as well change the name of the game to WOW-Clone 1000: The Elder Scrolls Online.

although there should be more to this equation. for even things that cost money also cost time to save said money, and then the time to go pick up the product.

How a bout (Goals = Appropriate time invested*Luck)

You set a goal, which requires a certain amount of time to achieve, unless you get luckily. The luckier you are, the less time you need to achieve the goal.

RadicalZ

People are getting 35-50k for Deadric and Ancient Elf though its for sure that its way more rare than those so i would charge anything between 50-100k for sure.

AlexDougherty

Imperial Racial Motif was selling for about 3K on EU server yesterday, normal Motifs go for about 1.2K. Deadric/Primal/Barbarian/Ancient elf go for between 5-10K where I am.

If you sell Imperial Motif for 3k you are seriously getting way less then it's worth. It's the rarest motif of all, and Daedric is still able to sell for 35k, which is about the second rarest motif. This is on EU servers.

All I can say is what I've been seeing them go for the past few days, and the majority of motifs have been going for those prices while I've been playing in Stormhaven.

A few have been going for the older prices, and one person did say they was selling Deadric for 25K, and no cheaper because it was a pain to get. But he was the only one. Prices have been falling, drastically.

I personally use Motifs when I find them, so don't sell them, and I have been saving for my horse, so I haven't been buying either.

Lukee

I would pay 50k Max for an Imperial Motif

Pele

Currently, 30k-40k.

UnholyPerfection

Thank you everyone, while I would like to keep it I could really use the gold. I found it in Glenumbra for people who were wondering.

This does not correlate to the in game economy. You pay a fixed rate to play the game (Real money). The items in the game are swapped for virtual currency (Fake Money), especially since it is stated in the TOS that Zenimax owns all virtual items in game and you are being allowed to use them. So your time does not equal money whatsoever.

Unless you are of course one of those RMT site sellers. In which case you are breaking the TOS.

Rev Rielle

It was a little while ago now, but I did a direct swap, giving a Bosmer Motif for the Imperial one.
