Should I feel guilty?
 

I was walking through Elderine looking at what people are selling. Usually I can't afford anything becuase it is soo expensive and well being level 21 most people are selling lvl 5x and 6x stuff.

Well I found some green armor and bartered down to a good price.

But then I saw in a store a green level 30 axe +9 and the price was 1 silver.

I checked it twice making sure it wasn't a scam with a gold number hidden in there. So I ran (did not walk) and got the money ran back and bought the axe.

Now I just want to get to level 30 as quickly as possible. to use my new shiny axe.

So should I feel guilty?

No.
As someone who has actually priced things at copper instead of silver, I can tell you it is our mistake. We should double check. Plus with the way weapons drop these days they are getting hardder to sell. It may have been priced so low to simply help that person clean out their inventory.
I actually NPC'ed about 10 weapons this weekend because they won't sell and were taking up way too much space in my inventory. :)

Exactly what she said and look at it this way, at least YOU will use it and did not buy it cheap to turn around and mark the price up to get rich off it. You actually need it and it gives you incentive to level. :)

I have a problem with holding on to things. I still have my level 1-8 stuff.

sentimental value I guess.

as far as drops go do the weapons come later. All I seem to get on drops is rings. I have about 10 rings that I don't use.

i say u should feel guilty, after all u used someones error to your advantage.

If u were a really nice guy, u would give him his weapon back, after he comes online again.

You should feel a bit guilty, yes. You took advantage.

I saw somebody selling a statted level 40 cleric shield for 20 copper. I bought it straight away - nothing wrong with that, as if I hadn't, the next person to see would've. However, I wrote down the name of the seller and tried contacting them for a week. They were never online, so I've kept it. I tried to give it back - that's what you should've done.

So, if you go to the store and you find a really nice shirt that you want really bad to wear to an upcoming party and the price tag says $1.00, so you think, "Great awesome deal!!!" and go buy it, the sales clerk sells it to you for that price, but in actuality the shirt should have been priced at $100.00 - you gonna feel guilty? Are you gonna return the shirt to the store and say, "Ummm.... charge me another $99.00, please."
Not me. I'm gonna wear the shirt. In marketing, you win some and you lose some. It is up to the person selling the merchandise to make sure that they price it correctly. I can tell you from being a manager of a retail store, that if a clerk mismarks an item, you are bound to sell it as priced.
Not to mention that with the way weapons are not selling, he doesn't know for sure that they did not mark it at that price intentionally. He should not feel guity about finding a great weapon at a really good price.
I bought a level 60 staff last night (green, with decent stats) for only 50s. I then saw someone selling the exact same weapon for 150s. Hmm.... level 60 weapons (white) sell from the NPC at around 260s. I found a really great deal. It was a free drop, so the person I bought it from made 50s, could they have made more? Probably. Would I have bought it for 150s? Nope. I would have waited to see if I could get one to drop for me.
Maybe that person had already tried selling it for more and could not get it to sell.
