Ruto Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Actually, making a short post like "yeah that's cool" or "i agree" and then follow with an ad is considered spam, especially if you do that multiple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuttie Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Actually, making a short post like "yeah that's cool" or "i agree" and then follow with an ad is considered spam, especially if you do that multiple times. But I did think it was cool and I did agree. Lol. That is why I'm sticking with this post now and not give short comments to any other topics here in this forum because moderators might think that it is just an advertisement. Thanks for the comment.

Ruto Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My point is, the sentence that "contributed" to the discussion was less than seven words, which is against the rules. But good that you've stuck with one topic now. That's how it should be. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mentioning my replies to a topic that it may have little words than the usual. And thank you for telling me that a reply must be more than seven words. I'll keep that in mind. Edit: Hah! I just noticed that I did have 2 topics in one category. This may be the fact that this topic was suppose to be somewhere else but moved my a moderator.

naalaro Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 -fakes a smile- Well actually, I already looked, and technically you are not paying that much. You still overpriced items anyways, and I'm not sure that the older accounts will fall for that. To be fair, such pricing is never intended to be for older accounts and veteren neopians who know the pricing. Although one may call it 'wrong' to overprice in the hopes of some newbie stumbling upon and being desperate enough to buy it, but still it rarely, if ever, happens. The thing is, mallers usually overprice items via a 40 to 60 percent rate (or so ive heard from many) and target people like the Questers who need the item on time. Call it price elasticity. Although i myself am quite baffled by how such pricing draws demand at all, it obviously works. Dont be too offended. I would rather blame the newbie, if one actually bought eye candy for 74000, for flaunting his money and not bothering to do his market research. If i was a maller, and i do hope one day i'll have the time to sidestep from all my collecting, i would LOVE for one to step on the doorstep.

nikkigrrl Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Since I am such a noob I have to admit to falling for the malls before I got my SSW. That thing saved my life and you can use it for any quests as long as you launch it into its own page. I have found that I cannot complete most quests because the prices of items needed are so incredibly high. I was taken in by the malls that list the quest items and then found out how overpriced they were when using the SSW. I didn't even really know that these were malls initially - the marketplace is not set up so well and it is kind of confusing. I thought these people had great graphics though to advertise their stores! Still I honestly don't know where everyone gets their fabulous expensive items to sell since I only get junk myself and never get anything worth much of any neopoints so there is no reason to sell anything. How do these mall people get all their great stuff? How does anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
