You know, when you go to the supermarket you usually see these kind of offers where you get a better price on a product if you buy more than one at the same time. Why is this the other way around in this game?
Like this: Let's say the price on Dreugh Wax is commonly 7000-7500 in most guild traders, so far all is fine. But why is it, that in like 60-80% of the cases people charge MORE than this if they sell multiple items? If you buy two, people usually charge 16-20k. You got 15 other guys selling one Dreugh Wax for 7000-7500, and then there's a number of people selling stacks of 2 for 16k each, and further down you got some wacko who decides that 80k for 8 Dreugh Wax is the perfect price, while they same one also sells stacks of two for 16k each. I mean, wtf? "Buy 10, pay for 11 and a half!".
Are people just hoping that people can't count, and pay more without realizing it? Are they hoping people are so lazy, that they won't bother buying 8 separate items (usually widely available) - and will pay that much more because they want to click purchase only once instead of eight times?
I'm speaking for Xbox EU now, and I don't know if the situation is the same on other platforms. I haven't really bothered to check out the fee for submitting these items to traders, if it differs that much for posting two 7.5k vs. one 16k item - but I strongly doubt that's some sort of explanation - especially since we have these people suddenly trying to peddle 8 wax for 80k, which is quite common. I have been talking to quite some people I know about this, and everyone is like "Dunno, guess they hope people are stupid", "they are just ****, buy the cheaper ones" or whatever so I doubt it's just me that missed some vital point here. I mean, I doubt people care about their fee for posting 2 vs 1 wax, and rather buy two of these numerous single 7000 ones instead of their two waxes for 8k each? It doesn't make any sense to me.
If I sell like excess wax, tempers or resins I sort of always offer some kind of discount to the price. I mean, I will sell them all, but I rather sell all the Rosin I wish to get rid of at once and get 1000 gold less, than wait a week to have it all sold. Most people don't seem to reason that way? Enlighten me please... ;-D
