Great Scape Doll Dilemina

[jayster]

Please please please with a cherry on top, do not put scape doll boards in your shops.... I searched about 30 shops today for scape dolls. 90% were overpriced scape doll boards, 9% were scape dolls overpriced (5k +) and I found 1 shop with scape dolls less than npc price, 4.5k... wow a whole 500 meseta saved. I wouldn't care if people have them stored in there but please don't put scape doll boards in ur shop, its a complete waste of time, I spent 20-30mins searching shops for nothing....

Oh and no ones going to buy ur omega acids for 3k plus except a complete noob which doesn't happen to often, u need 2 omegas to make a scape and if they r 3k+ then ur losing money...

I don't even bother looking for scapes anymore... just a waste of my time...

Too bad half those people don't go on PSOW so they can't read this. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I used to get good deals before Xmas on Omega Acid but gave that up.

When you learn how to make Millions in this game, buying Scapes for 5K a pop is no biggie

Yes... but I don't have the luxary of millions. I have the luxary of SS but it still makes me flinch everytime I buy a scape doll for 5k

The reward for Lab S2 pays for 3 Scape Dolls...and usually you get a decent amount of meseta from drops too.

And yet again, the non-Lab spammers get screwed.

Yea the board thing is irritating, one guy actually joined my party and he's like "dude all of you should put scape doll boards in your shop because people get tricked and have to look at your items" so i basically was like "I $%^&*( hate people like you!" lol. But yea honestly it's not a good strategy, when i go to rooms and find boards im usually too irritated to look at other times. Plus certain shops that do it a lot i have memorized and i pretty much never go back to their shop.

[Fecesbot]

There is nothing u can do about this unfortunatly because everyone wants to make money.
Really there is no point to putting scape boards up for sale and scape dolls arnt the only things overpriced in shops.
Its just something that we will all have to deal with.

Yup.


By the time you're doing missions where you might actually need a Doll, the reward is usually good enough to at least pay for one of them.

Player shops are a joke in general--people either don't realize what's available in NPC shops are are just trying to scam people. I tried to buy some nanoresin tonight and EVERY shop I went to had them listed at 10k+. Every single one, and most of those were well over 100k.

...I'm just hoping people will get a little smarter when that crap doesn't sell.

Actually this could be fixed if Sega allowed things like:
-[b] scape doll

thus making the system search for shops that have scape dolls and not the board, because the [b] is negated by the dash symbol. (like searching in google... and yes you can do it in google ) ) Implementing that kind of system would make life so much easier....

right now the system is kinda crappy since weps like rodoc, a 6* kubara rod, has those same letters in other rods such as the Granarodoc (8* yohmei rod).

Exactly. I usually only die once as well, worst case 3 times when I got iced 2 times in a row by Dam Jarbas http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_rant.gif but other than that...and you can usually buy some off people in the lobby who would rather take the 4-4.5K from ya than have it go to the NPC http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[pikachief]

the most i've ever died is twice, but when i do need a scape doll i checked the player shops today and only one was for sale and by the time i went through all those doll boards the only one was sold out http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Soukosa]

People die that easily? o.O I usually end up gaining more scape dolls than I earn resulting in no where to put them all >.>

[pikachief]

u find scape dolls?! O.O

[Mugenakuma]

I agree that people should stop putting scapes in their stores if they are not going to price them reasonably. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Fulgore]

Yeah, that was so hilarious. With that party I was in 2 times this happened, I would lose a scape doll but get another one that someone picked up http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif and it happened to these other guys too, 2 scapes in a row and then they both died at the Jarbas http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Really Cool when that happens, the Free Scapes.

[twysted]

i used to sell scape dolls for 1900 in my shop and they would sit there for a few days lol now i put up 10 last night for 4250 logged in this morning and they were gone... too bad i do not have any extra http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Even worse, spending time searching through player's shops to find GREATLY overpriced hustle berry.

10,000+ for Hustle Berry? Are you out of your mind?!
I wouldn't even buy them at 1,000 since you'd need 5 of them for scapes...

After 15 mins. of that, I gave up hope that anyone out there has fair priceing on these berries...
