sorq Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah theres a huge scammer problem in Warframe if you're trading for the first time or dont know the prices you can easily get cought with one of those "Well I got another offer that has a higher price, will u sell for more?" There's no scam if both parties agreed to conduct the trading. Just making it clear. Either you check the prices before you buy, or you get ripped-off. Simple rules of life.

(PSN)kiddplay13 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I've found that Europeans are the worst offenders at doing this Opposite for me, i got to Euro chat, get something cheap, then resell in NA East chat for 30+ plat profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brasteir Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) i actually do this too. someone ups the price past medium of what it usually sells for and i tell them i only have what it sells for as low ,or a bit lower and they usually sell it for that. And I've had people try to lowball the crap out of me with this technique. I fell for it once, ONCE. And then I saw the guy in the trade chat wanting to buy something with the plat he supposedly "didn't have". No more bleeding heart. I already try to undercut so I can attract flippers (I usually don't sell unless i want something now) but even that's not enough for this community sometimes, players can be absolutely shameless.

Legion-Shields Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 What is the purpose of the OP? Does it really leave an impression on you to see people try to profit off of their wares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExRedux Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Well... I just got 3p for something that, I personally, found to be pretty worthless. I'd like to think it was my creative writing, but I'm sure the buyer just wanted a Huras imprint for his Pokebrow collection. My sale's pitch was as follows: "SALE! Is your favorite colour fecal-matter brown? Do you rub S#&$ all over walls just to bring out such a subtle, but inspired colour? Well, I can't help you S#&$ all over your house, but I can help you get your very own "S#&$-stained Huras" kubrow. It's a male. Imprint is 3p." Sold after around 4 minutes. .. and yes, the kubrow really is that bad. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=293030669 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valafor Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I just do a sort of auction house thing, trying to weed out the highest price (if I am selling) or lowest price (if I am buying). It introduces a very interesting dynamic once you start putting pressure on them. Once I said I wanted to buy Bleeding Willow, and my first offer came as 15, then I got a 10, and eventually I pressured a guy to lower to 7, then 5, then 3.

Glasglow Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 So I was looking for this Stance, Tranquil Cleave. I looked at some peoples topics on here, on another website that had the average sale prices for it. I knew it was 20-30p. I wanted to get it for 20P. So I went into trade. First offer "50p!" ,next guy "35P, max ranked!", then the last guy "60p", when I go "60? That's abit high you know' he goes "This mod is really popular right now and regularly goes for 70/90p (Big difference there lol, 30p). I tell him there is a site to check price history and it doesn't go for more than 20-30P. He then lowers it to 45. I go "Wow, half off, you must be a super generous guy to give it to me for 45p less than you say it's worth" He goes "Yes, I am." Then he lowers it to 40P. Then some other guy whispers me and is like "20P", and I'm just like "Done" Bartering is always funny to watch people try to charge to much for something, and just tossing the price down at the first sign the person won't buy. And the funny part is, that if you are in a proper alliance, they will provide you with any mod you need, free of charge, cause you know - lots of good people in a proper alliance.

Ask him to F*** himself. It is so obvious he is trying to rip you off it isn't even funny. What the F*** is wrong with these people and their desperation for plat?!

Deathwaffle Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Is there a reliable way of finding out what something is worth? All of these websites seem fairly dodgy or aren't updated frequently. It would be nice to have some sort of reference for players new to trade like I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feallike Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Ok i have to admit, this is one of the most entertaining threads i have seen in a lonnnngggg time. :) I hope it stays alive. My best trade, i was trading for Hornet strike Maxed (i sold mine for 300p before) and i found someone willing to trade it for 120p. He found out he only had it 9/10 and cut his price to 90p Ofcourse i took it. :P (even though it takes allot to max it from 9/10) but the fact that i got a almost maxed hornet strike for 1/3 of its usual price was so absurd. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunero Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I had a guy once who offered a maxed Narrow Minded for my maxed Steel Fiber. Needless to say I accepted the offer, sold the the Narrow Minded for 200 (as I already had one) then bought another maxed Steel Fiber for 70. Profit. It was so surreal.

Smooth00 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Heres my story, there was me and this guy selling the bite mod. He was selling it for 180p and i was selling it for 120p both were unranked Obviously, he was competitive since he saw me as a threat and he sent me a message and told me "thats too low, you'll get a better profit if you sell it for a higher price" Funny, i sold mine for 100p and i saw him selling it for 160p after.

Kozom Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'm just happy there aren't a lot of beggars in Warframe. The folks I'd like voted off of the island are the ones that WTB or WTT for something, and then say what they want to spend, but it's *ridiculously* lower than what the item usually goes for. OTOH, at least they're up front with it rather than waiting 'til you're at the trade terminal in your dojo and say, "i oly haz 2p and an amo mod cn i stl haz?"

BraverLeech37 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I can kinda understand it since pt is a universal currency but it is a bit disappointing that more people don't trade. I once tried to trade a maxed Redirection for Gleaming Talon and had no takers. In the end I gave up on looking to trade and bought it for 40pt. I then sold the maxed Redirection for 50pt. you got ripped off a max redirection sells for like 100p-200p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
