Price Gouging.....

Post by Lach »

So I am not gonna mention a names & I've been trying to mind my own business, BUT not to long ago I get a pm saying this item is over priced I considered it & then I dropped it to 8m. Low & behold it's on someone else's vendor for 2m more right back at the 10m I had listed. Not that I really need the gold but just watch out for these lil tricks lol.

I wouldn't take it personally. Its a common practice in TC from my understanding. It seems dirty, but yes, like in any market, only sell your items for what you're willing to sell them for. If you sell an item people want too low, others will take the opportunity to make quick gold.

I bought that item because i think its pretty, i didnt even knew the right price, sometimes i like to put pretty itens in my vendor just to draw people's attention, i probably never sell it and loose gold on that. Honestly, all that because of 2m difference?

"Watch out for these lil tricks"? Dude, you bought a Ancient Yumi for 100m in auction and sold it for 200m in your vendor... I mean, how cynical and shameless can you be? Why do you need to be so toxic all the time? I'm perplexed...

You are a sad little person, Lachian. Not all your money will ever change that.
Shame on you, man.

Btw, yes, It is a common practice to buy something and try to sell it for a little bit of a profit. Its a risk, and many times it fails. It is part of the game, and i have learned it from many other players who does that all the time. For some people, who cannot spend thousands of real money in the game, it can be a good strategy to raise some gold. Enough said.

You all are ignoring the fact that this player more than likely had another player pm me to lower the price so they could buy to resell or what ever the reasoning is. That is the sneaky part I am talking about...... You don't all don't get that all these people work together to screw other players. That is the point I am making. Anyway have a good day, and I am not the only player you have screwed over. As a matter of fact quite a few players warned me about you. Guess you have reputation of being this way. Oh and thanks for pointing out it was you :lool:

all this post, this sad exchange of words... so unnecessary... idk why i even fell for it, jesus. who are these people, and what i'm even doing here. yeah, feels like its time to go. this time it got a bit more real.

there are some people in the world that really can destroy your soul, if you let them. idk if i have many friends left in the shard, but i know i have a few, and to those i bid you farewell. again, but this feels like the last time. cya

I would not worry about Lachian, Deckard. He has not figured out that bullying, gas lighting, and trying to reverse blame people is not the way to become noteworthy, or popular. You do not get respect from making people fear or hate you, Lachian. That is why people hate and dislike you, far more than they ever will me.

Keep in mind Lachian, you are the one person who can stop the cycle of having to move on after you destroy any chance of a good standing reputation in a gaming community. I have heard of your exploits elsewhere. Never ends well for you.

When you finally leave here Lachian (and you will eventually leave), no one will remember your name within a week for anything more than a troll that left with his tail between his legs. You could change that,. by leaving people alone.

Cheers! :D

It sounds to me the issue is of the PM saying price was too high, so it was lowered & bought, then being resold for original price listed on Lachs' vendor. I can't say I wouldn't be perturbed about it either, we're all either trying to be nice &/or trying to make money & it's harder for some of us than others. If anyone wants something for a lower price, just try to negotiate. What's the worst that can happen, they say no? Big deal. No reason to be sneaky about it, if it was 1 person or a concerted effort, Just be straight up. Does Lach need the gold? Absolutely not, it's the Principle. As for Auction items... that's not the same, we ALL have the chance to bid on an item. If it comes up later at a higher price, that's business, too. And it's not fair to say Lach is the only one that does this, he is not, I've done plenty of vendor browsing. It's all part of the GAME. I have met so many generous, kind & helpful people here, let's try to keep it that way so the new players stay.


You do you over there & don't come sink my boat, I have my own anchor, thx! 8) :wink:
