Price Gouging in Teva

05-07-2009, 12:00 AM

Ever since the cap raise, T3 stones have been scarce on the Teva server. Last week, someone was trying to sell Xir3 for 75S (normally 25-35S). I thought that was bad until today. Right after the emergency maintenance was finished, some jerkwad put up a house full of T3Lix at 80Silver - that right 80 f'ing Silver!!!

WTF?!?!?

Yeah Damn.. I've been underpricing my stones LOL No wonder they disappear so quickly!

Funny enough.. price of +9s dropped... I bought a pair of lvl 64 Mage boots for 8.5g 2-3 months ago.. (it was reasonable back then)

Now.. they're only worth 6g... O___________o

All the prices of +9's are most likely dropping cuz of that bug. Lots of people had red/ blue/ gold eyes and stuff and enhanced as much as possible. x-x who knows... if this keeps up +9's will be worth 3g!!! ...for all lvls!!! X_X

Hmm I've noticed the price difference of +9 about a week ago, since I tried to sell it... Dont think it was entirely the bugs fault... though I wonder if it'll drop even further...

About +9s... back when my mage was lvl 50 I bought a +9 staff with pretty good stats for 1.5g. Now I paid 4.5g for a +9 GGK axe with crappy stats. I'm not too sure where this happened as the logical thing would be that now there are more +9s the prices would be lower.

Haha I am guilty of selling T3 Blessed/Lucky xir for 75s (unless you were saying that someone is selling regular ones for 75s). I was about to vend them for 50s when I noticed a shop selling them for 75s, so I tried the same price. They all amazingly sold out pretty quickly (too bad I only have a few!). Why do people buy them!?!? Not that I really mind since I made money out of it... but wow, people are rich haha.

You would think that with the enhancement stones being so expensive, +9s will rise a lot too but.. it's been about the same o-o.

But the ones that make me rage the most are the gears with so called "godly stats". Got a gear with a decent amount of END + some other useful stat? 1-2 gold! I'm not talking about 7x gears only, I've seen some 4x-5x gears for this price. Unless they're only 'showing' the item for auctioning, I hope they never sell it.

And you get people who up the price when they can't sell something. I saw a hat I wanted (76 mage with some INT/DEX on it) vending at 450s, which is a bit too expensive imo. So I whispered to the vendor and say I'd buy it at 350s if he's willing to sell it for that price.

Guess what, I see it again the next day for 1 gold. Wth?! Weirdo...

I'm guilty of selling some armour for waaaay too much XD

I bought 64 archer boots with +24 STR and +30 END for 500s. My 54 ones had decent str and end as well, but no way they were worth 500s but they sold. Quickly as well XD

Well, of course, I don't have a problem with it if I can find godly gear and sell it for a godly price LMAO. But I'm always in the position of wanting godly gears and seeing godly prices associated with them!

There was a 70 mage shirt I wanted with almost full END/DEX. Godly yes, but apparently the C/O back then was 2.5g (the guy was vending it for 3g). WTH!! T_T. And I offered 700s for it, LOLOL.

LOL!

I saw an overpriced stuffs way way over!!

Teva is messing it up D:

I saw a GOC+9 With spr/dex/str and they were 25-29 i think so...he wants to sell it for 15g?!? DX

I saw archer +9 4x bow...dex/end sucks you can tell...DX

He was selling it for like 3.5g!?

DX 3-4x now worth 1.5-2g DX
