megalomaniak Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 So I like to buy/sell MPs and sometimes HTS items. Sometimes, I either get an offer that includes unpriced items. Now, I don't mind HTS (I have patience!), so I don't always want to reject it, nor am I deathly afraid of loosing money. If I'm selling at item worth around 100k and I get an unpriced item, and its not is Shop Wiz, I'll accept because I really can't loose that much.Sometimes I want to buy an item, but it;s unpriced. Then I really dont know. I don't want to offer too high because I could risk loosing a lot of money, but the seller may be willing to sell at a price that is actually a really good deal, but i dont know. Anything over 200k, I'm really really unsure, and I don't even know what I could offer (if I may be intrerested in buying) or if I should accept said offer. How do you guys deal with this? I know rarity is somewhat of an indicator (but it's not very good - mean, there are some r99 that are buyable and some worth millions). Similar items? Ok, so I tend to do MPs, same colour with species of similar popularity? I assume that will work for MPs and probably TPs .. but say ..books? what's a similar item there? Another book - they vary a fair bit, no? I've asked this before in the boards. Somebody gave me an answer of amount in galleries. But this can go both ways I think. More in galleries == more people want to collect it/show it off/more popular item == worth more OR more in galleries == less rare the item == worth less Which one is it? So anyway, today I took a risk and offered 200k on a cloud Elephante MP. It was unpriced. I figured being a r99, it should be worth at least that. I later checked cloud bori (2 rankings above in popularity). 2 priced lots, 375k and 400k, so I think I'm ok here. I should be able to make a profit. Maybe not a huge one .. but it's not a loss. y/n? (granted, I'm not sure why you'd want a cloud elephante. i think they're kind of ugly but thats my opinion) Anyway, any other advice?

The Meepit Commando Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 if you want a good estimate for the price of items go here: http://items.jellyneo.net/index.php, in the search bar enter the name of your item, usually under the picture of your item will be a good estimate of the price :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 ...Sometimes. Don't take all of the JN prices literally. Some are radically incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalomaniak Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Ah. I knew about that database, overlooked that part. But again, I see a few that are incorrect. Plus it concerns me that some I see were updated up to a year ago .. and where does that data come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelddar Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Dont use the JN database i have lost to much because of it. It is inaccurate on almost every item over 50K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I usually ask for pure only when trading ... lots of people try to scam me out of my items by offering HTS and saying "this is worth 5 milllllllllllllon" .. ha ha .. yeah right .. if it's worth 5 mil why are you offering it on my 200k Usuki ?
