The Guilty Conscience of an Impatient Buyer

ArchMikem

Browsing on Youtube, I come across one of Deltia's build videos about his Omega Templar, and what caught my attention was it relying only on easily acquired gear from craftable and overland sets, so I got interested. Speed forward to logging on to do a little farming of the Dolmens in Deshaan to get the Jewelry pieces of Mother's Sorrow, and even with 75 points slotted into unlocking Treasure Hunter, I only managed one purple ring out of the several dozen dolmen chests, everything else being green and blue stuff. That's when I notice someone linked a purple necklace in zone. So I answer, "Price?" And the following chat took place.



Now...I'm not one to actively try and cheat people into giving me great deals, I usually like to (somehow) pay appropriate price, and I know a purple jewelry piece of a good set like this must be going for quite a bit in the traders, but I was impatient, and a bit tired from it getting passed midnight, so I gave a cheap yet still somewhat reasonable amount. But that last whisper in the image from the player, makes me feel a bit bad.

I'm sure the purple pieces are going for like at least twice that right? I didn't really check.

I sell purple jewelry for 5-10k.

If neither party is sure what the going price is, then it's the sellers responsibility to make sure s/he's not getting done over. I don't see what you did as wrong as half the stuff in the guild stores are waaaaay op anyway. I mean, some people are selling blue motif books for 1000g ffs.

Jewelry is not expensive at all. 10k is a good price for both sides. The ones that really expensive are the weapons. Spriggans, Spinner and mother sorrow can get really expensive (>200k).

I sometimes sell purple jewelry if i cba checking what it's worth in a guild store and i dont like ripping people of with excessive prices for stuff that has no value to me.

I wouldnt waste to much time worrying about this

I paid 300K for a Legendary VD ring I had been chasing for months. I'm pretty sure I paid too much, but I am still happy in that I don't have to chase it anymore, so no buyer's remorse here.

In theory the "right" price is always what the seller and they buyer agrees on and feel happy about. My only gripe is that a lot of greedy players buy things with the intention to resell them with a profit, artificially inflating Guild Store prices to their own gain and to the detriment of everyone else.

I've come to know that the more so sought after purple Jewelry is usually priced for tens of thousands, especially the Willpower and Agility pieces with the proper traits. I wasn't completely sure if it was the same way with overland farmable sets so I just figured it was.

It's not so much the gold part I feel bad about, I love getting things I need for cheap. I just feel bad that the person said they trusted me. lol

He advertised the item without doing little research and if you're gonna advertise before the event, then you should at least know what you're selling. I'd begin to understand your concerns had you been the one begging for the item in chat, but you weren't. Also, I don't think the treasure hunter thing affects dolmen chests. Only normal chests.

....I could've sworn I read somewhere that it included dolmen chests. Well there's a waste of 6,000 redistribution.

Sadly, it does not affect dolmen chests. I tried it during Witches Festival, since I grinded dolmens like 10h per day.

This is easy, guild or zone chat "price check" and link the item. I always answer them because it takes no time at all.

If you're on console, then you paid just about right
