player shops overpriced?

[Gdiz]

well at first i was constantly mad at the sellers of these INSANELY overpriced items in player shops, but after i found out that people actually buy this stuff at the insane prices i cant blame them for doing it. this first came to my attention when trying to buy nanocarbon (2500 from the shop) and people were selling it for 3000+. my guess is people dont know what the synth shop is for. i really hope the player shop economy balances out to normal as people actually learn things about the game.

[Pikku]

Everything in my store thats is sold in the shop is 50% less than that price so yeah.. this dont consern me

[Gdiz]

another example, try finding a 2 star staff for less than 900, i looked all night. they sell for 800. and another thing, arent shops with Pwords annoying?

[cobfab]

Just be glad you're not one of those stupid people who doesn't check the stores before buying from players.

[Mag_Launcher]

Hey, people. Anyone with a shop, PLEASE get a f*cking clue on what low level synth items sell for. I swear to god, if I see another store selling Hot Berries (50 from store) for 100-300...

DO NOT TOUT CHEAP SYNTH ITEM PRICES WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PRICES ARE YOURSELF, YOU BASTARDS. There needs to be a shop price reference page on psupedia or something.

There's this great thread here

Some guy was bored and made a list http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

I check both stores and player shops and to me, the player shops sell stuff for a lower price than the shops. man, this reminds me of college with the buying and selling textbooks thing.

[TheStoicOne]

I think people should do a little research before merchandising....

[LocGaw]

huh... I tested something out. I put a ton of weapons in my shop. I put them in the shop to measure if people were even comming(I was not selling stuff, I had checked the prices and they were fair 25-50% off). Here is the trick, I put them in the shop for LESS than you could sell them to a NPC for....

It took 3 days for those items to sell...


I am still unsure if it means that I am getting no traffic. It could also be that many entering are clueless and not seeing a powerful item in shop...

I've seen people selling Neu Wood for 1k a unit. It sells for 150 in main shops. Yeah, some people are greedy.

[AnamanaAU]

someone needs to compile a list of prices items should sell at roughly. I'll sometimes set items at random prices because the prices are so different from store to store.

[Ammy]

I, somehow, haven't had this problem. Of course, when there is something I need, I take my time finding it. the other day I got a Calibur from 15% dark for 12k, i saw it in other stores going for 18k+, and those weren't even elemental.

It really depends on time, how much you spend looking. I picked up nanocarbon for 1.8k a pop at one point, so good shops do exist.

Honestly, one person, Rinoa Heartily, had a great store, she had some B weapons, especially the wirefists, whatever they are called, 4* ones, anywhere from 2.5k to 3k as well.

then again, i've seen some rediculous prices as well, so that post above with the item table should be stickied or something lol.

[Merumeru]

XD Yah, theres a lot of ridiculously high prices in lotsa places, but the best thing to do is just shop around, you'll find what you're looking for for cheap eventually http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Roffkaiser]

I just shop around, after looking last night I found one shop that was selling two 3 star weapons for 300 which i bought for me and my friends PMs and another guy was selling 2 Nanocarbon for 2000 so my friend bought that and another 2 for 2300.

Just look around and reward the honest shopkeepers, and when I get some money I will make sure to have a cheap cheap shop heh.

[FenixStryk]

Shopkeepers are frikkin' morons. They farm to get the shops then overprice what they get. It takes a good 10 minutes to find a deal that isn't over retail price, FFS!

[SailorDaravon]

Pricing good items at over retail makes your shop come up in a search.

[Razorback]

i sell my stuff at really low prices, cause its cheap to make stuff

[AlMcFly]

Everything in my shop is at 25% of shop price, guaranteed. I definitely do my research ;P. Don't even round numbers off, my 2 star weapon boards are sold at like 87 meseta, haha.

[Schubalts]

Everything I have up is at least 30% off the NPC prices, I think. I've had stuff in my shop for nearly a week now, that hasn't sold! Stupid other playershops...

[DMC_Dante]

Some people are real bad with pricing, I find checking the shops to be monotonous though so I go off of memory of what things are...only I really cheapen the price, generallly even more than 50% because to me if i can sell it to a vendor for crap meseta, or sell it and make like 200 or 100 meseta more...I just made a good sale lol

[Tystys]

This is why I am just going to sell my stuff to that lonely Weapon NPC....or any NPC willing to give me money.

[Pengfishh]

I am extremely annoyed with the cost of Nanocarbon. Out of seven shops, SEVEN, I found one guy, ONE, selling Nanocarbon at a discounted/not gouged price. A fair 1500 opposed to several 3000 and below, but still over the original price.

People need to take a walk around and be smart. Relic Edge for 200k is also ridiculous. No one will pay that much for something that really isn't that hard to find. I found two in a thirty minute span. Not that rare, folks.

[Viera]

I always keep my prices low, most of the time at or around 50% of the NPC price.

I personally think it's stupid to overprice or price something near the exact value of the NPC's shop, since your chances of actually selling it to a player become substantially lower. I prefer selling my items at a price that I know even I would buy from, just to guarantee myself a good income from my shop.

It takes a bit of empathy, sure, but if you were in the shoes of another player looking to buy a relic edge, would you seriously think they would spend 200k on it? Besides, if they put in a bit more effort looking at other player's shops, they'll realize it's going for a much cheaper price elsewhere.

As it stands right now, Meseta seems to have a really high market value. Of course, this value will lower after more and more players get more mesetas over the next few weeks. This is why, in the meantime, I just keep my prices low.

I guess you could say I'm just out there to make a quick buck, but I hate ripping people off. That's just my two cents...

[MaKaVeLi_X]

Im sick of the marseline prices... 2.5k 1.5k all the time... A week ago i bought marseline for 400 meseta...
