Title: Resale of Drops Post by Deval on 07/11/03 at 02:49:45 Certain drops grow old and tired, for example, Spider Staff, and then there are items that are not entirely useful for some, for example, Boots of Time, I've even had problems selling halbers, crystal rings and spider gauntlets. What I'm suggesting, is a weapons trader store, who will give you a set price, for items that you simply cannot manage to sell. This price could/should be set to give less money to the player than would be expected from another player to player trade, but is a good way to sell it fast if you need cash quick. No, you would not be able to buy items off the trader, only sell to him. Anyway, just an idea. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Bill on 07/11/03 at 10:23:55 He was stating it would be for items that you can simply not manage to sell, yeah good idea, i expect the price would have to be changed as the item goes down in value? |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Selene on 07/11/03 at 10:47:05 I see no problem with this idea. There's always people having trouble of selling their items and such... when needing the money asap.. which you stated. Good idea. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by -Gaddy- on 07/11/03 at 16:20:09 i think thats a good idea...it might also cause some items to have fewer in game. i.e. people could sell lots of spider staffs to the weapon trader and maybe then fewer in game would cause them the be sellable again? |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Bobbity on 07/11/03 at 16:35:43 Why not be able to buy them? Maybe the price for buying them back would be a higher price than expected from another player. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by -Gaddy- on 07/11/03 at 16:40:55 Because then you get way more of them in game and it causes problems...well maybe not../shrug. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Bobbity on 07/11/03 at 17:06:12 Why would there be way more in game? It's just the same item but with a different owner.. |

You can only sell them on there if someone is willing to buy them for your price, that's WHY this topic was started. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Bean on 07/12/03 at 17:03:55 Bobbity the reason you cant just buy them back is probably because... Well they are boss drops... your supposed to fight the boss to get them... It would totally defeat the purpose if you could just go to a store and buy it. *Its different from a player, because someone had to get it from the boss in the first place to sell to you* |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Oracle on 07/12/03 at 19:06:57 No way are they going to be bought in the shop as the post above this says, it defeats the object of killing bosses and I don't see the need to sell it in shops because they are meant to be "rare" items and I know that they aren't so rare after a while but I just don't think it makes sense to be able to sell a valiable item like that. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Harath on 07/12/03 at 19:10:07 wtf? It's a d**n good idea actually. Once I wanted to sell my boots of time, I made a new post every day about it for weeks. Nobody bought. So with this idea I could sell for slightly less, but to a shop instead of a player. I don't see any problems with this, or with being able to buy it back (at an increased price obviously) maybe you could pay 25% more than they sold for? Would make it cheaper to kill the boss yourself, or buy the item. Also, if its a 'rare' item, wouldn't the shop owner be extremely interested in buying? I'm all up for this idea. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by AlliedAssault on 07/13/03 at 06:08:12 The main problem with this idea is that then there will be more money circulating through nightmist. The more money circulating through nightmist, the more problems would occur. Plz if u disagree dont flame me, just say u dont agree with me. |

au contrare my dear tree, people fall over each other to buy valuable items. Ebay is a prime example of that. I still think it would be a good idea. Whilst I'm not 100% keen on being able to actually buy the drops back from the shop, an inflation price of 25% could be an interesting idea to toss around should this whole concept be considered. I can't really see a problem with there being more cash in Nightmist, could you provide examples of how this may be a problem? |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Bean on 07/14/03 at 07:16:38 Just to see if I have this idea right. You sell to the shop and the item simply disappears from the face of the game. If so Thats a great idea, AS it causes the numbers of the items to lower if people simply just want to sell it. This means that there will be less questies in the game, and the prices of them will possibly go up... or down. It could go either way. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Deval on 07/14/03 at 07:44:58 Precisely. The item vanishes forever under the lovely facade that the trader purchased it from you. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Pandilex on 07/14/03 at 20:40:24 I disagree, you state that you would expect a lower price. Well, if you offered a CR for 100k I bet someone would snap it up instantly. sgs for 50k? Sold. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Harath on 07/14/03 at 20:59:20 We didn't want this to sell items for 200k below their value.. nobody would do that. I just think its a good idea to be able to sell them to a trader, after all, wouldn't a trader be interested in magical items? I'm sure he would then try to sell them to someone else for a profit. That means that if you did sell to him, then you'd be losing out on money because you'd sell them cheaper than what there worth.. but if your after quick money then it would be a good idea. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by AlliedAssault on 07/14/03 at 21:49:36 Some examples are as follows: You sell a crystal ring you get 150k to the shop. That is now 150k that wasnt in the game before. You sell spider gauntlets for 175k to the shop. Thats 175k that wasnt in the game before. What im saying is then gold will be created that wasn't in the game before. Im sure that isf you yelled ," I am selling a Crystal ring for 150k" someone would page you wanting to buy. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Bean on 07/14/03 at 21:52:26 Its the same d**n thing if you go kill a bunch of orcs and sell the short swords.... |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Outsider on 07/14/03 at 22:05:09 Hes jut pointing out, cuz seeing as this is for instant sell, u can sell any item instantly to a player also for the price that the shop will. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Harath on 07/14/03 at 22:13:43 It doesn't really make much of a difference if there’s more money in game, things will still be valued at the same amount, items will still be sold at the same amount and people will still buy them at the same amount. So how does it matter? I really don't see any problems with this; I think it's an excellent idea. |

/nod Harath The trader price shouldn't be ridiculously low. It should be at a number where players wanting to sell an item really really fast should be able to consider it. |

Title: Re: Resale of Drops Post by Zylia on 07/15/03 at 13:31:39 Even if you don't use a shop for CRs/SGS/etc.. why can't one be made for the smaller drops like the Spider Staff or the Hydra Thorn? I don't see how having those smaller, harder to sell items in the shop would harm anything. I think if an item is less than 50k or so it wouldn't really hurt to allow players to sell it for a lesser value than they could get from a player. Only problem is.. Look at the price of hallys and how much it changed. The prices would have to be monitored a bit with changing values if there are any. That is one of the only problems I see. The way I see it, if you're desperate enough to sell an item at that moment, you should be able to sell it for less than its really worth. It's your loss. It doesn't really harm the market, as you can't buy the drops back from the shop. Players will still be demanding the item, but if you don't wish to wait for a buyer to find your item, you can sell it for less than you could originally get. It's a good idea, but I doubt it'll get put in when all is said and done. :-/ |
