is this kind of PoE trading everyday thing?
|
OK, I am sort of newbie to PoE, never play hardcorely hard, on and off casually usually gone before I even finish the story, very bad at making currency. so, naturally I have to ask for price-cut when I see something I like on trade-site because I simply just cannot afford it.
Here are the typical trading encounters in last couple days: trade 1 # me: Hi, I would like ...for 5 chaos...(copied pasted from the site) # invite throws out, out of politeness, I didn't accept yet # me: so far I only farmed 2 chaos maybe u can offer me a discount plz? # silent... # me: I have 9 chromes to add as well if you like? # trader: stop spamming me! don't ask if you don't have what I ask for, fk off!. # me:... trade 2 # me: Hi, I would like ...(copied pasted from the site) # me: I am not super-rich, maybe little bit break for me plz? # invite throws out # trader: ok # me accepted invite, (thinking some people are just genuinely nice) # trader: I can even give you for free if you can answer this "fill in the blank" question. # me: sure I try my best thx.(thinking it will be some kind of brain-teasing fun quiz) # trader: [Removed by Support] # immediately party disbanded... # me: ... trade 3 # me: Hi, I would like ...(copied pasted from the site) # me: 2c (just trying to get the result straight up) # silence for 15 seconds... #trader: are you trying to offer 2c? # me: yes, im poor # trader: atleast write something kind like : hello sir, im very poor just started the league, can I offer you for this 2c? # trader: learn some manner fuxking kid # me: ...

It's not them thats the problem.

" Then save up the currency until you can afford it. Stop trying to haggle every trade. Maybe if you're lucky you might find ONE person out of 100 willing to bargain with you and accept your pity story about how poor you are. But in reality you just need to learn how to make currency. And the easiest way to make more is to simply just play the game more efficiently. Your hideout is lava. Spend as little time as possible in your hideout or town. Always be killing monsters. | |

The intention, 10 years ago, was that trade would be similar to what you're trying to do. Problem is that people do not like that. No matter what intentions GGG had/has, people like fixed prices. You either have the exact amount the seller asks for or you won't get the item.

I have a couple things up for asking price right now and I expect ppl to know the difference between fixed and asking. Happy to negotiate on asking prices and unless its a divine or more I'll probably just sell it to whatever the offer is. Party will be disbanded though if you start that mess in the OP with a fixed price item though. It's just the way it is.

They didn't need to be rude, but you should understand that by trying to haggle at every trade you are only increasing the frustration of people who already hate PoE's trading model.
Not sure if you mentioned the actual prices in your examples, but if you did - 5c is super low for anything, and you are asking the seller to lower the price even more. You could probably get 5c in 30 minutes by simply doing chaos recipe. I have haggled a few times for some quite expensive items, and the sellers were more than happy to lower the price a bit when 'serious' currency was involved. Asking to lower from 5c is a bit disrespectful to say the least. |
