liambojthe Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Just dont know if it was my lucky day or not. There was a jedi Battlelord's chest guard on GTN for 5 million credits about a week ago then i think 3 days ago i log in get on gtn and theres one for 15k so obviousl i took it. Are these not rare anymore or is the cartel now the new look people are after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breger Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 No, sometimes people just don't know the value in the items, or don't care, so they put it up for a token amount that they feel is sufficient. The other day I spotted four augmentation kits MK-6 variant for 14 credits. Yes, 14 credits. Sadly, someone was a tad bit faster than me, the lucky sod.

Lynnx Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 As time passes and more Cartel items are placed on the GTN, competitive pricing will lower the cost. If you waited longer, the price probably would have been lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bahdasz Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) There are greedy sellers and reasonable sellers on the GTN. And there are sensible buyers and impatient buyers. Unfortunately for you this looks like a case of a greedy seller hooking an impatient buyer. Sorry for you, best you can hope for is to sell one off to another impatient buyer and get your money back. Nobody did anything wrong or crooked, it's all part of that wonderful thing we call capitalism. Edited January 6, 2013 by bahdasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibobpipop Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I put a ton of purple / orange stuff on the GTN some days ago.....just put in random prices i thought would be ok, didn't bother to check for each of the 30ish items what others want for it. Seeing as i sold pretty much all of them within an hour after putting them in i guess i undercut others by some BIG % lol On the other hand i bought a molecular stabilizer for 833 credits some weeks ago Mistakes happen. Unlucky for those who put in the wrong number, good for those who click "buy" the fastet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacentabaal Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 LOL. Just LOL. BL Chest is worth 200.000 Credits since Day 1. 5M Creds is just....LOL. You must not be in the same server as we are then.. on The Progenitor the chepest ive seen the Battle Lords chest go for is 2M the most was 5M and since early days of the game I never saw the BL chest go for less than 500k and at that time it was on Trask Ulgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhillB Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hahaha! Yeah, I have bought quite a few items that obviosly had some missing zero's in the price. Love when that happens! I only wish I could see the sellers face when they get the email and read what they sold the item for. Must be like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabrixmgp Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have made millions on people posting at dumb prices and then reselling them. Another bug in the GTN. I assume most people played WoW. In WoW when you post Auctions for sale your addon scans the AH for the exact same item you are trying to post and then undercuts the next seller selling the same item. Im assuming when people post items and see the number that pops up they figure well thats cheaper than the current cheapest price so they hit post. I dont see why the hell we need a calculator and notepad to post all our auctions. I mean is this 2013 or 1990? When you post an item it should scan for the next cheapest item or price per item and then slightly undercut that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarshr Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Prices will vary for items and some will be cheap others over priced. I spent an hour tying to sell the new Jedi flying chair mount for 2 mil. 20 min on the gtn at 1.7 mil And it sold, only 100k less then the 5 others selling. Trick is to play it smart lol I'm now 1.7 mill richer then those guys and I'm gonna play the gtn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChroniKill Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So basically, it's 2013 and we shouldn't have to think for ourselves, or have to put any sort of effort into something? This. Any sort of trading should require you to do market research. If you can't be bothered with that then you're out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyopicAardvark Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 My selling tactics - 1. Get item. 2. Search for item 3. Post item for 100-1000 cheaper than lowest price on the market. Done that in every MMO I've ever played and it always works - someone buys it. Job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you are doing is allowing the GTN trollers to buy your items cheap and resell at normal/high prices. lol I know, I am a troller when bored or waiting for a LFG pop too. If you think for a second that the poor people are buying your items to use them, just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, speaking for myself at least one poor person does buy the items for my use when they are posted cheap. It is how I have purchased most of the items I have.
