Now, I get more mails asking for special requests than I get hate mail.<br /><br />Haven't noticed any competitors sending me hate mail though. I've had people getting out of the market try to sell me their stock for 50g an item or something... but I have enough of my own stock and I usually pay way less than that per item so I've always passed on the offers.Jaegernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-20816444324650092652013-03-18T19:27:45.855-04:002013-03-18T19:27:45.855-04:00I find it funny that so many people seem to know e...I find it funny that so many people seem to know exactly what's the price of each item, according to their opinion.<br />I was once approached by a guy who said he would never pay more that 15g for a lvl 40ish green (wich I posted for around 600g). I told him it wasn't because of its ilevel, but because of its trasmog value. He couldn't understand that simple premise.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-88043464898231362192013-03-18T16:15:57.426-04:002013-03-18T16:15:57.426-04:00Kinda similar to how I got in the 77-79 cata marke...Kinda similar to how I got in the 77-79 cata market. I started on a new server wanting to level a warrior, not really messing with the markets on that server except the herbs and ore that I picked up while leveling, the occasional x-mog item that I happened to loot and maybe 2 or 3 times scanning that AH for deals. <br /><br />Then when I hit 77 I started checking the AH for those uber powerful cata greens and saw them all listed for 400ish gold. At first I was a bit confused and ticked off, then I saw the genius of it and started doing it on my main server and new server.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-43361365793876380032013-03-18T14:21:11.943-04:002013-03-18T14:21:11.943-04:00People send hate mail over AH prices!?!

Garhh it's your item and you can sell it (or atleast attempt to) for whatever you want.<br />I know I've seen items on the AH that I've thought 'they aren't worth that' but I'd never send abusive mail like that. I'm also guilty of listing items slightly over-prices to 'test the water'.Jojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075991022814021056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-15639836255349477322013-03-18T10:49:49.810-04:002013-03-18T10:49:49.810-04:00That's actually how I started, too: I looked u...That's actually how I started, too: I looked up the transmog gear on wowhead and thought, that everything on that list must have a descent value. <br /><br />Well... it doesn't. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-36400550871407268292013-03-18T06:02:47.550-04:002013-03-18T06:02:47.550-04:00Had a similar thing happen when I was trying to se...Had a similar thing happen when I was trying to sell Teebu's sword before 5.2 patch, I had it listed at 100k figuring heck if it sold money in my pocket and if not I could always fall back on it as being my own transmog item later.<br /><br />I had been listing it for about 2 weeks and gotten about 5-6 mails a week ranging from "damn that is overpriced I'll give you 20k" to "lol 100k sword who would pay that" type. Ignored the hate mail and kept to my price. About a week before they listed the patch date, bam it sold 100k (85k profit after picking it up as a cheap investment in I think wotlk).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
