is this kind of PoE trading everyday thing?

Quit haggling. POE trade is frustrating enough with just the basics. You, and those you interact with, will have a better time if you quit haggling over a couple of chaos....

It's like someone offering you something for a dollar, and you counter with "how about 40 cents?". You will just piss them off, right?

Yeah I have to agree on this one here. Like, if you don´t even have enough to pay for a 5c-trade, stop looking at trade and focus farming.

There is a thing called the chaos-recipe. It basically is something a lot of people use, especially early in the league where 60c nets up to a divine to get some early currency. Surely, this falls off with the market maturing, and right now I wouldn´t dare to touch it with the rate of 205c = 1 div but if you really struggle so hard this is exactly what you need.

What you do is you collect rare gear pieces, one for each slot, leave them unidentified and if you sell the set to a vendor of your choosing you get 2 chaos in return. This means:

- 2x 1-hand-weapons, 1x 2-hand weapon
- 2x ring
- 1x amulet
- 1x boots
- 1x body armour
- 1x helmet
- 1x gloves
- 1x belt

Also, haggling is something that works. But not for a hand full of chaos. Experienced and fast paced players increase over time the value that they are willing to give up on in order to keep mapping. For me, I already cut the 5c-tab so unless something has 10c or more value I am not stopping whatever I am doing, as this would literally mean slowing me down. If I now have an item for 10c, and then someone like you comes along offering me 3c, of course there is no trade happening.

So please get a bit of perspective, read upon how to farm currency (it is really not that big of a secret too... like, I have made well over 130 divines this season already) and stop the haggling for now, until you are in a range where people still deem the trade worthy. If you buy sometihng for 24 divines you can often times cut it down by 1-2, but 10c to 3c will never happen.

This has got to be either an almost good bait post, or you are either not willing to bother farming for basic items in standard to trade for currency in order to buy things.

2/10...I gave it +1 just in case it's bait...

70% chance he's trolling and the correct answer is "go back to D4". But just incase:

heck you don't even need to do chaos recipe, just pick up ilvl 82+ flasks, roll a good prefix, take them down to Einhar and put the appropriate suffix on with your spare level 16 yellows you got for free in the Riverways, 5-15c each

Need alts? scoop up that yellow stuff (i mean junk rares, not sulphite) and ID and vendor. Although if u like delve, sometimes niko gives u cards to turn in for alts.

Turn alts into flasks and those into chaos. It's faster than chaos recipe especially if you don't have many stash tabs to sit on piles of bulky unID gear waiting for that amulet u need to complete a set.

Or play SSF, and enjoy peace and quiet and the rudest person you ever have to deal with is Greust and you can kill him as many times as you like and throw 2c on his dead corpse every time

I just wanna play the game like its a game, you know like killing mobs get loots back to town compare loots and craft them a little to see if I can get an upgrade. Maybe that's why I have very little currencies I tend to use them as often as I like, I usually go out kill for 15 minutes then port to town ID loots compare gears and little bit craft if I see fit, I enjoy this kind of game-play, because everything I do seems meaningful and enjoyable.

But from what I read on this forum, it seems like everyone should just rush rush rush to "end-game" and start farming divines...and early crafting or trading is for "stupid" gamers like me, if this is the case why there isn't a button to click that let everyone just skip the "early" game and go right into "end game"?

Your playstyle is better suited to SSF where there is less competition for resources and more importantly, time.

Play group SSF in a private league with friends and see how much better it feels not dealing with "trade" or with randoms.

So you're poor because you have a spending problem.
Just save up a bit.
5c is considered a low price already, especially in standard, so trying to get an item cheaper than that is wasting people's time.
There will always be a few people willing to trade for less than that, but it's hard to find those.

What item were you after? If I happen to have it I'll give it to you.

When you try to haggle on fixed price items you're the problem.

Only acceptable instance when you can haggle or offer on an item is when the item is listed with no price or listed as price with note (15c or offer).

Other then that most exiles old and new would benefit from watching ItsYoji's trading ettiquette videos.

I just got a 6-link armor and 2 divines from a vet gamer for free! but plz do not give me any more freebies! I want to "play" the game, even price haggling is "playing" the game.

As for ppl who think I am trolling, im not. these trades only happened in last couple days, so I know those traders also read forums, if they are honest they can just confirm it in this post but I can't force them to. I have no problem with any of them, I am just frustrated with trading in general.
