Tails-san Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) It's a free market, if people are buying at that price, then it's not overcharging. Supply and demand. Edited October 7, 2015 by Tails-san Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Because it's a free market. CAPITALISM AT ITS FINEST!!! YEA!!! MURICA!!!!!!!!!! okay, on a serious note. That's just the way the world works, Someone got something that a large majority of people would want and they can charge as high as people willing to pay. It doesn't matter how much does it cost for them to acquire the product, it's all about demand. It's just like no one ever question why McDonald's are okay to charge for what they charge, NONE of their product (whole meal) cost more than a dollar, but they charge for $7 or even $9. The margins are crazy. In the end of the day, everything has a price and it's all about supply and demand. EDITED : If you can learn it here in video game, good for you. If you learn it the hard way aka real life, it's going to be pain. Edited October 7, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)DaBoogieMan2741 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 sadly its not going to change... just pray and keep looking i met one guy on chat selling a prime set for 500. few days later a new guy comes and sells 175. luck yes dedicated search double yes occasionally some people would sell freakishly rare or not attainable goods for severely low prices than standard. ive seen a buzzkill go for 150 plat a handful of times just because the people were generous. sucks i wasnt fast enough :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)KrakenUnchained Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 why do people think its ok to charge 1000+ plat for mods like buzzkill and piercing caliber? Because there are buyers willing to pay that amount, if u are not one of those just let em go, why you complaining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Skode Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Because its the pay to win mentality of the warframes trade system. Rich get what they want, greedy get what the want... Terrible system really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastorius Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 These types of threads are funny. I guarantee you that if any player who's posted one of these topics had rare mods of their own, they too would charge as much as they can get for them. Answer 1: There's nothing wrong with trying to sell a rare mod or item for as much as you can get. It's what everyone should do and is perfectly natural. Answer 2: Sellers are not to blame for the rarity of items. That's DE's doing, since they directly control the availability of everything. Yes, DE creates artificial scarcity of desirable mods and items, and yes, they partly do it to drive platinum sales. If you play Warframe, you must make peace with this.

If you play Warframe, you must make peace with this. most mods and stuff that i sell is usually under 30 plat to strangers and for clanmates/friends i just give spares and such for free to nothing. maybe ask for couple of fusion cores... just yesterday gave a whole rhino set to a clanmate and sold 2 dual stat elemental mods to an alliance member for 10 plat... told him free but he felt bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToxicTroublermaker Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Because as long as people are gullible people will be greedy. Greed doesnt exist in a free market. Because its the pay to win mentality of the warframes trade system. Rich get what they want, greedy get what the want... Terrible system really. Nope its the perfect system. Free markets are always the most fair form of any market, thats why DE doesnt want an Auction House in Warframe because and many of us here know the dangers of an AH and how the market will crash with one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)buddy72757 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 why do people think its ok to charge 1000+ plat for mods like buzzkill and piercing caliber? No, I don't think its ok at all. Like, it should be against the law. Toss them in federal prison. How dare they make offers on a free market? Some rationals make me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)G R A V O C Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Why do people think it's okay to offer 100 platinum for my, my, MY Buzzkill? Same reason you think it's not okay to offer YOUR platinum to obtain the mod. It's a rare mod. If you don't want to cough up 1000 plat, then move along. Baro officially sells event mods now. Pay for it now. Or spend potentially up to a year waiting for Baro to cycle through stance and event mods... 2 weeks at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"neither" "... k 100 but i won't go lower !" "... NO ... I WANT TO BUY IT FOR 1K O_O" ps : maybe you wanted to say "are willing to" ? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)KiloCrusher Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Maybe if DE would stop making necessary mods only obtainable from events, then we wouldn't have this problem. It's annoying that just because I missed one event, I miss out on getting mods that I would have otherwise put on a lot of my weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble_One Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 tbh i see a lot of people ask that price but i very few uh.... "smart" people buy them at those prices. at most times some one will put in a price around 100-300p for it and completely shut those people down.
