Just wondering if Im making a mountain out of a mole hill or not but I spent the better part of the morning making over 600 spike6 pots when i put them on my trader there was no one else selling spikes so i priced them at 10 plat usually i price between 9 and 11 depending on what they are selling for. so i just saw that someone named Nersin bought every pot and then put them up for sale for 24 plat each ???now hes the only one selling in baz and way over priced how would you handle it just let it go and do nothing or call him out and make sure no one buys from him when your around? cause if i wanted to be a real pain in the arse and talk chit in ooc i soooo would drop gu just to give him a hard time because to me it doesnt seem ethical to buy someone out and then turn around and sell thier crap for over twice the amount you paid for it.

Hmm, ethical maybe not, but you can keep making them and have him keep buying as long as you are making a profit. Or, Undercut him slightly then if he chooses to buy them all again, he will basically be making notta. If he undercuts you, then do it back until the price gets managable lol.
You can have some fun with this one.

in my experience, ethics doesn't come into play anywhere in our digital world or the real one when sales is concerned. you think it costs 40k to make a tahoe........nope. so, it's all supply and demand. price yours up a bit but always make sure you undercut this particular person. you'll get even in the end and make a profit to boot. I wouldn't go off in ooc, just stoops you to his level. ten plat is cheap in my experience for the spikes. i've paid up to twenty and fifteen would be a perfectly fair price in my oppinion. i wouldn't pay 24 unless my kids were playing and were out. lol but never for myself. they are so spoiled.
p.s. if it makes you feel better, a guy like that prolly sits in the baz all day. never really plays. it's his whole sad little life. he prolly giggled for five minutes to himself about the fake money he is gonna make. lol.

Don't stoop to his level Kiss. You're way to awesome for that. Obviously he has nothing better to do. Perone is probably right, he probably does sit around all day in the bazaar. He's the reason the prices of things in the bazaar get completely ridiculous. Don't let it ruin your day.

/Agree.
There are lots of people who haunt the baz looking for a bargain, only to go and mark it up to what they think the price should be, not so that can actually use it! Which fairly sucks for those of us that aren't rich enough to pay their inflated prices.

yeah i know ur right and anything i said would just me look like an azz but i think im not gonna waste my time making pots for the trader anymore just doesnt seem fair tomake that big a profit on something like a lvl 25 pot. and if i dont waste my time with a trader i can go back to lvling the fun toons

Aye, just shrug it off. I hate people that do that myself, it's utter bs. That or the people that open a barterer up and offer 1/10 of the price of an item just to turn around and sell it for at least the full normal price.

OHHHHH, you mean like the barterers that are offering 5-10k for booster packs?? That is just insanely ridiculous when they sell for 100-140k, unless the prices have dropped since I actually looted 1.
