as the topic states, what kind of items do you folks buy when you visit player shops in game?

what do tend look for?
what are your needs?
what do you buy the most?
what kind of stuff you would hate to see?


think this sort of info would help me out with regards to maintaining a good in-game shop as well as anyone else who reads this topic.

From what I've seen from scrolling through shops it's like (Or at least it seems like) 90%+ synth boards, synth mats, and synthed weapons.

Well first 2 days I had my shop open made like 35,000 meseta so somthing sold but I have no idea what because I sell nothing now even tho my prices are super cheap (maybe the shop list bug)

But I do know what I buy.

I am looking for Marseline, Sperial, Sweet Berries, Hot Berries all the time, Neu Ash, or Nue Wood and on occasion I look for grinders and weapons but usually only find them overpricded so I make my own.


Thing is all those mats are NPC buyable and still 90% of the shops have them for more than the NPC I spend forever trying to find a shop with a good price. I shoot for 50% off NPC price wich is what I sell at, somtimes I break in and get somthing if its only 40 or 30% off NPC listing but never any less!!!

I sell for 50% on my goods so I kinda expect the same courtosy its good for the economy to sell for less, more sales, and that means more weapons and things, and that means you can buy what you want for less as well.

Wich means alot less mats in peoples banks and alot more usable items that we all need.

I don't get to buy Marseline, Nanocarbon, or Soldonium anymore, because anyone that has them in their shops only has one, for "999999" to get people to see their "leet wepoz lol" as it were.

What always sells out fast in my shop are force weapons. Raising even the "cheap and dirty" force pm takes absolutely forever, so people are looking for cheap force weapons to feed the beast.

Most weapons sell out very fast as I post very low prices. Someone starting a new character can pick up some decent weapons with attributes for 100 to 300 meseta and so I keep my shop supplied with them as often as I can.

Once everyone has fed their pms up and moved their levels to more challenging runs, we'll see more rare weapons and armours and the prices on those items will drop as more become available on the market.

I've quit wasting my time on player shops. All the prices are way too high, on average probably double what the thing's actually worth compared to buying materials and making it yourself.

That said, I literally can't keep my food shop stocked. It makes tens of thousands of meseta per day, the only limit is how much food I can produce.

Ditto.

I mostly look for materials, but the materials I usually need I have to get from NPCs.

I sell materials mainly. When I look for stuff, its usually either elemental weapons (like the 44% Lightning Ryo-Palasra I just bought http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif ), or more materials for synthesis.

food? like fruit juice? I dont see how I can make much profit on it since its only 200 meseta in the npc to make so unless you find both the berries for it and buy the board its still only a 100 meseta profit...

not to mention I dont find much food. Care to share what kind of stuff your selling and where you farm it?

Anything below my prices, which is rare, that I happen to stumble across while searching for something in particular.

Best deal I've found so far is an Onmagoug Auge for 3k.

I concur. I'm tired of players pricing items above NPC prices. People don't buy them! Don't encourage over priced items! Here's how it's suppose to work. You sell items in this range, below the price you can buy it from the NPC, above the price it sells to the NPC. Then everyone wins!

People are stupid and it makes me laugh. XD

"Hm... I need traps..." *looks at player shop* "WTH!? These ones are 100,000 meseta? They must be good!"
-----------------------------------------------------
"I bet people would be totally stoked to buy my traps at twenty times market price, I mean, look how awesome I am! Even I'd be willing to buy them from me for that much! Man, I'm cool! Don't hate me because I'm better than you."
