Does it seem like not alot of people are buying from alot of people's shops? Because I have some good stuff I'm selling but it seem like nobody isn't buying my stuff. :/

I check prices and set them about the same price I see them and yet nobody is buying. Is it me or are the right people not on or not playing anymore?

I've noticed the same as of late. I have alot of good stuff and i always set the price according to other shops(reasonably) but not much selling lately. I think we need a boost road to the economy http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

It all depends on demand. If you are selling things people don't want, no one will buy it, even if its reasonably priced.

If that's the case what does one do with this stuff?

keep it but most of the time if you just leave it there for a day or 2 it will sell unless you have it high priced but im not sure what server your on im on 360 and i never have anything in my shop because it always sells right after i put it in there i had a 10% dulk-senba i was pissed that it came out so low % i thought was crap for armor but i sold it for 1.4 in about a half hour

AxleWolf
Feb 13, 2008, 10:16 AM
I'm on the 360 as well, lately people haven't bought anything from me but a few people. *sigh* it just very slow going. and ontop of that i can't come across any of the good rare boards. Plus it seem that it's getting too hard to win in the casino as well. I tell ya' I can't win from losing... ~_~;

i'm on PS2 and have stuff ike 42% sweet deathic, 28% dark baji-senba, 2 raikasobracs, dori, and bunches of 8 and 9* armor and weps all priced according to elemental% in thier class. dropped prices 3 times so I think I'll wait it out amd gl to u AxleWolf http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Best way to get your stuff moving out of the shop is to sell it for lower than everyone else. Sure, you might lose some meseta compared to others, but if you're selling it you don't exactly want the item to be sitting there not selling, right? The only thing I ever have trouble selling are those darn Marselines, and Aporalines...

AxleWolf
Feb 13, 2008, 10:58 AM
You know what? I think i will do that. Thanks. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Tianna
Feb 13, 2008, 10:59 AM
Yes, good way to sell stuff and make some meseta but some people are selling for less than the materials cost to make it. Killing the overall economy of the game to make a few meseta isn't good for anyone in the long run. I actually saw a Catiline up for 35k (of course I went and bought it just to get it off the "market" http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif)

And, AxleWolf, check the running price in player's shops b4 u make some stuff because some are not worth making due to material prices and going rates in shops.

I'll try to make meseta AND be reasonable so I can finally afford to replace my Blackbull that failed or a Rattlesnake at these pumped-up prices. Gl to all shops and buyers. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

You're on 360 so lowering your prices below the competition should move your inventory fast. I do believe though that 360 players have it easier than PC/PS2 players when it comes to selling items due to 360's inherently higher population of players. I'm amazed anything sells at all on our (PC/PS2) servers considering most people should already have a decent set of A ranks and armor. Factor in the lower population and the fact we're not getting a huge influx of new players, I can imagine a lot of items becoming stagnant in the market place due to the lack of fresh demand. S ranks should still sell reasonably well but those are a bit harder to rely on for an income considering their rarity. (Either being so common they sell for cheap or so rare, it's hard to sell them for the price you'd normally ask for them).

Price your items based on how fast you want them to sell. If you price your stuff the lowest it will usually sell a lot quicker. One thing you should do is keep an eye on the market. Prices fluctuate daily. You might price an item the lowest but then someone else comes along and prices theirs lower. I was trying to sell a Python the other day and I priced it the lowest on the market. After a couple days it still hadn't sold so I checked the market again--there were suddenly about ten people with prices lower than mine! Stay ahead of the market and adjust your prices accordingly. It's a constant tug-of-war between how fast you want to sell and how much profit you intend to make.

Oh yeah, and weapons are generally highest in demand. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Good idea, but I want to add that if the price becomes too low, you need to stand your ground. It's okay to lower prices to beat the competition but you don't want to eventually drive the worth of say...well, your Python in this example, to nothing. If it goes back and forth long enough, no one makes a profit.

It also depends on how many are selling below you. If it's only a few people, wait it out until their's sells and then you'll be next in line to make a profit. If the overwhelming majority is lower than you however, then you need to make some adjustments. Just use common sense and you'll get your stuff to move.

That's also true. I wasn't willing to lower the price of my Python past a certain point because they were getting ridiculously cheap. Hopefully the price rebounds a bit!

Also, some people unknowingly price their stuff lower than the NPC buy-back price. Once the market reaches that point you might as well sell your stuff to the NPC, you'll get more meseta that way. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

I actually opened up my first shop today, and almost all my items sold in just minutes...
It was mostly cheap stuff though, like truffles and room items etc...
All you need to do is price the items right, and if they won't get sold then you're just unlucky I guess <.<

I think the real issue is the actual value of the item. Sometimes, basing prices by what is for sale in other people's shops is not the way to go. How do you know they are selling it?

Ex. Let's say one person has a Python in their shop for 80,000,000. The next person with a Python might price their item at 79,000,000, and then some for 75,000,000 and maybe a "low" one for 70,000,000. The only problem is nobody in their right mind would pay 70,000,000+ for a Python! Just because the other shops have theirs at a certain price does not mean they are going to sell it, thus if you follow this trend you will be sure to not sell it either!

(if the above scenario happened to me, my first thought would be "WTF?" I would then put a Python up for 60 million and periodically drop the price until it sold.

Feb 13, 2008, 01:46 PM
It doesnt matter how low you price things, if the item flat out sucks it wont sell no matter what the price is. When i mass-synthed Heavy Twins I couldnt sell the leftovers for the life of me, I was selling ~30%~ ones for less than 100k and they were just sitting there for days. There are only a few weapons people want to buy now that everything is so easy to hunt. Currently im selling Muktrands for 110-150k a piece, and they are ALL above 30%, and there they sit, in my watchful PM, until their owner enters my room....(Jessica on 360 >> /endshamelessadvertising)


And yeah, my policy on pricing is that if you look in someone else's shop and they have an item thats sitting there for a price, if it sold fast for that price then why is it still there? UNDERCUT!!!!!

Another thing is certain items are hotter than others (eg truffles) so if you have em and can undercut even a little, u should have no problem selling.

Being of lower level, I have nothing that anyone wants, (no one even buys the elemental photons anymore) and I can't afford anything in the shops, no matter how well priced they are.

Then again, I'm on the PC/PS2 servers, so I'm the odd man out for sure. But when those 1 handed, realistic A ranked sabers come out, I'll be buying a whole bunch of them.

Still looking for a good price on S ranked Knuckles though...

There are things you can buy from the NPC that have a real, fixed price. For example, 8* guns cost 165K from the NPC. But what about melee weapons and S-ranks? It may have taken a shop owner fifty tries to get that 50% weapon they're selling, even though stats-wise it might not be worth 10 million or whatever. Then there's S-ranks, which can't be bought in shops at all. Stats-wise a 10* weapon is usually not much better than a 9* weapon, so why are they often 10 times the price? (The answer, as we all know, is that people just want to look cool http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif)

My policy is that if something has a real price (i.e. can be bought from the NPCs), I'll price it according to that, and that if it doesn't (or if it has an elemental % attached) I'll take the market price into consideration.

Weird market trends:
- I can sell a Buccaneer for more than I can sell a Crimson
- I've sold Viper boards for half the cost of a Python board because that was the market value at the time

I just thought I'd mention those two things because they make me laugh. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

There's plenty of stuff players of ANY LEVEL can hunt. Resist units drop on all difficulties - freeze and stun are hot cause they weren't winter event drops and are extremely useful. Truffles are needed for exchange mission and can easily be farmed. If you have the patience, love letter are in high demand. Beetles on Sleeping Warriors. Spicia. I could go on...
Not sure prices on PC/PS2 though.

SolomonGrundy
Feb 13, 2008, 03:08 PM
the 360 is very competetive right now. There are loads of 9* weapons for sale, LITERALLY for 50K (the same price you can NPC them for).

That's just stupid. NPC the things and don't clutter up the shops with 10-16% equiptment that wont sell anyway.

I gave up on selling made items. I just sell the boards now. I've got 5 boards of some 10 star knuckles. I was going to make 1 but I don't have a striking bot. So rather than fail it, I sold it for over a mil. I put up the 2nd board for 1.5 mil.

I do too!! ^_^ Sucks to delete and remake alts too!!

@Ken- it's not that lame to not have hit a mil yet- Until the Rappy Noels came out I hadn't hit a million... Then I started hunting rappies on lightning beasts and selling serafi feathers for 250k under what everyone else sold them for. Then Laguna found a crea doubles board and I spent it all on materials... -_- to make a 16% weapon- I couldn't even sell it for 1/3 what I spent on it... which is why I never buy boards for more than a few thousand... I'll hunt for weeks first, because if it fails or if the % sucks, you have to eat the cost of the board and mats!

I can't believe what note seeds are selling for! Guess everyone wants the music disks, huh?

Yeah, it's slowed down on 360. I think people are realizing that A ranks, properly ground can outdo the way overpriced S ranks. Either that or the meseta is going away. All I know is that I just sold a 16% light Blackheart for 3.75 million, and that's a pretty damn good deal.

well to be honest sometimes i think shop's are worthless.
On ocasions i try to buy ebons(wich npc sells for 4k) and all the player shops have them for more the 4.5k even the ones that belong to high lv's like me.
That's why i don't even look at player shops anymore.

1 meseta!!!

um make the gudda hon, dont sell the board. Here is one big reason. first boards are only worth so much. Tho say you make that weapon and it comes out 30+%...well now its worth alot more than when it was just a board.

Just a small tip for making money.

Oh yeah, ebons are terrible in player shops. It sucks you need a list of what you can get from NPCs in front of you before you can buy something O.o



not true there are plent of ebons that get sold at below NPC price - the thing is, people BUY THEM really fast, so no one can keep them in stock.

the same is true for resins.

I agree that there are tons of scammers out there. note seeds can be pruchased in the NPC shops, and they are selling for 30k. wth?

um lol note seeds can only be found in boss boxes >.>...maybe that's why they sell for 30k no?

what about okanoh??? 5 mil for a 10% then 2 mil for a 32% and nowits like 700k for a 22%


Okanoh? I paid 200k for each of my 4 Okanoh boards and all 4 came out. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I remember making a comment some time ago (http://pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=150517&forum=20&start=30&45#43) stating that price search would tank the economy, but overall it has helped me. Now I buy things under NPC sell back cost and sell it back to the NPC. It's wonderful.

I sell most things in my shop based on NPC sell back and percentage. I don't care about what other shops have things priced for at all.

7* weapon = 20~25k (NPC price 18k)
8* weapon = 40~50k (NPC price 33k)
9* weapon = 70~100k (NPC price 50k)

If the weapon is a striking weapon with a high percentage (>30%), then I'll bump up the price a bit.

The main time when I'll check other prices in the economy is with armor.

For example I got two 10% Rikau-senba while making Rikau-senba boards for my bow. I checked the shop on 360 to see what Rikau-senba was selling for in shops. 18 mil for made 10% lightning and 20 mil for the board. >.>

I decided, okay the 10% ground I'll sell for 2 mil and the 10% fire I'll sell for 4 mil. I wasn't expecting the fire one to sell, but three hours later both were gone and I had 6mil... for some garbage armor.

That covered my ortaresin costs and made me a decent profit. I could buy multiple stacks of vestaline (Rikau-senba is 8* ) with my profit and any elemental photons I'd need to make more with the money.

Meanwhile, the last I checked (two days ago), the 10% lightning Rikau-senba was still for sale.

Conversely I have had several 26% Hoza-senba in shop for 40k and a 24% Sori-senba 100k. Considering the amount of people I've seen with 11% sori's running around and non-elemental B-rank armor, that leads me to believe that people aren't even checking shops for armor at all.

i've had problems selling things a few times but it's mostly during events. people are either too busy doing the event itself or they're finding the same stuff you are and prices are either dropping fast or its not in a high demand state so it wont sell until all the others around the same price range sell first. the "new" search feature has helped and hurt in quite a few ways but it's better this way, for me anyway. competition between shops has gone up alot and thats good for the economy

I didn't bother to read the other posts, but I say because it's too easy to just get the desired item yourself now.

Well, since I opened up my very first shop I made about 2mil the first day... I was a bit surprised since I've only been playing a few weeks and I've never before had more than 300k meseta at a time.

The heavy undercut. We will ALL see what FFXI went through when the FFXIauction site went live. Once everybody know what was being sold by ALL PLAYERS/SERVERS(yes), the economy took a depressing nose dive.

I got roughly 40 mil a day doing True Darkness. The rare drops seem to happen way too often there. People still buy the boards though, despite the fact that they're easy to get (tesbra, cubo tuma, zagza, etc.)

I'm on the 360 as well, lately people haven't bought anything from me but a few people. *sigh* it just very slow going. and ontop of that i can't come across any of the good rare boards. Plus it seem that it's getting too hard to win in the casino as well. I tell ya' I can't win from losing... ~_~;



Of course they're not buying anything that they can find just as easily as you can right now. Everybody is hunting the same items and they'd rather just spend the time getting those items than buying them. Once they realize that AOTI drop rates don't mean rares drop like candy, they'll start buying again.

And somebody above said Kerselines sell for 10K...? Jeez, they're worth the exact same price as selling to the NPC as they are from buying from the shops, so I just sell straight to the NPC. -.-
