...can be worth vastly different prices to different people....

I'm obviously not clannie, (Exultantis!! ) but I agree with your entire statement and especially the quoted part. Lots of people are too quick to get angry or upset about prices. IMO, an item/drop is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Just because one person may not pay a certain price for something, does not mean another will not.

Anyway, sorry for butting in on your clan chat, just wanted to put my 2 cents in on a topic that really grinds my gears

@xyn

there is no frustration with me for anything in this game. if i see a bad deal i simply walk away, or i'll try to bargain. if it doesnt work there is always someone else willing to sell. i am not putting up these posts because i am frustrated for not getting a deal, but because i want to make everyone aware that sometimes other players will significantly jack up the price of an item thats going rate is worth much less. lets look at some examples from a few days ago:

drag frag

someone has a drag and is selling for 35k when normal price is 20k. some people will be desparate to buy because they need it. Skip it , wait to buy one for 20k . just be patient.

full connacht vanquisher

person who is selling wants 1.4 million. this set is extremely rare and is only worth what someone is willing to pay, the stats on the armor are terrible. despite its rarity, i would skip this item. reason being is you would have a tough time turning a profit or breaking even on the item.


so what we have learned is that items such as fragments, plat items, and rings have a fixed value in the economy. Do these things sell for more or less than set rate? Absolutely. if someone is selling a frag for more than its rate , then should you pay that amount? Absolutely not, shop around! Now with event items its a bit different. Event items to some degree have a going rate. you can get ripped off on event items if you pay too much. its hard to explain but you basically have to use your own judgment on these. base your reasoning off of availability of the item in question, demand, stats, sparkly/non if fashion, color, comparison to similar item in shop, etc. lots of factors will weigh in here. you should always check with your friends on the value of an item before purchasing it. Never trust the person you are trading for information.
to further your statement about people paying more money if they really want or need something, absolutely i agree 100% with you. both parties agree with the trade, but this doesnt mean the buyer wasnt ripped off.

so in conclusion we can now consider this a merching guide . haha but in all seriousness i just want people to be aware and to be patient. you dont have to make money on all your deals but you should at least try to break even, ie pay normal price. Take care!

Who made these prices? Im asking cuz everyone can charge a different amount and everyone is willing to pay a different amount. I mean its worth different to everyone

CH is like the perfect economics experiment in supply and demand. As things become more common, or easier to acquire (less expensive in idols) the prices go down. The prices you see posted just kinda reflect a sort of average of what you are seeing - there is nothing official.

the closest thing to 'official' would be that 1 plat=200 gold, but even that is subject to change. for common items (lix, resto) that may hold cause there is always a market. for other items, it may be more expensive.

So if nothing is official, why so many people say things are cheap/overpriced? Guess its matter of perspective.
Example the frags, being 60 or 180 your personal value changes i think.

Hey Ancients, I want to join? 2 of my best friends are in that clan: KnightTemplar and Raun.

Thanks.

ok I'm finding the topic of the not being greedy rule entirely backwards high lvls set there price at whatever they want but the moment a low lvl sells for slightly above the average every high lvl is there to rip into them about it. i agree players should be able to set their price where they deem fit not just high lvls, this goes out to all those hypocritical characters out there (mostly high lvl rogues). high lvls are not greedy most of the time in how much they sell an item for just how much they force others prices down (I disapointingly have done this my self a few times . )

nicely said Glow! just remember everyone, not all players set higher than norm prices. exactly as she said some higher lvl characters are hypocritical and will rip into newer players for trying to turn a profit.
