A tip for you gatherers who sell your mats on the market.

[Anderian]

I wish it was more commodities trading based like diablo 3 where you put your items up for a base price (no stacks or anything of the sort involved) and people can buy however many of an item they like. If your item is the cheapest at the time then they buy from you and so on. It works well, although my explanation needs a bit of work.

That would only lead to even greater undercutting. Most players with DOL leveled have insane amounts of raw materials stored, so much so that it's pretty much an endless well at this point. So the prices would hit 1-5 gil per piece on most of the raw materials, and it would stay that way. Nothing would be solved.

Give us more freakin' selling slots 20 aint enuff when I have a retainer full of random BOT items.

and more storage for those mats = =

You do realize that you can have 2 retainers right? Thus giving you more then 20 sellin g slots and more storage

So, everybody's stuff ends up in the same pile? Wouldn't the RMTers ruin the market by selling vast quantities at really low prices?

I've only ever used the open market system, where undercutting is the key to success

Only, the problem with that is people seem to not get it. Shortly after I do that, I see people starting to sell full stacks for 150g. That, or others come and severely undercut me by putting their full stack at only 20g.

I am perfectly fine with people matching their full stack price per item to my small stack price per item, just means next bunch I put up slightly higher if its still selling. Though have plenty of items considering vendoring as when they drop those prices so far down, I won't list my stuff at the price I could get from a vendor, and if its low in the first place I won't gather it outside of own use for GC supplying or crafting.

Yes, do all kinds of different stacks. I'm a new goldsmith and wanted to try out the gold nugget recipe. Checked gold ore and see all these large stacks until near the bottom there was someone smart enough to put them in stacks of 3. The exact amount needed for 1 synth. Guess who got the sale?

[Hanmerreborn]

Well maybe if it didn't take me 6 stacks of logs just to gain 4 levels (with the xp bonuses from rested + food + scroll) I wouldn't put so many bulk purchases up. I just want the garbage gone, and have better things to do than put nearly 600 logs up 5 at a time.

[MisakiSatomi]

If only it wasn't just a measly 40 slots at a time...

[Spawnie]

better option would b... they incorporate n option to buy the whole stack or x amount out of the stack since u already chose the price for 1 anyways

for example say we could sell stacks of 500 on market board, every1 could chose to say buy 10,50,100 however many we need since the seller wont lose any money eithier way ;/
