Guy with shield and guy with Longsword both walked away happy!!!!!!!
As for the market: I recently returned and found all my archery crap was worthless. Regardless, I decided to have some fun playing the market only to find prices and strategies had really changed (for ex. +2's are a cancer.) I always straight traded and still pretty much refuse to pay extra gold unless I think the deal is too good to pass up.
I never liked those offers of 200k for a +1 or a 100k trade bonus for trading (100k has become the standard in the market for just about any loom change.) I now offer to buy +1 stuff around 200k because I got a bunch of messages asking me to, some people just want to quick-sell to buy something they want and are happy to drop the weapon quickly, others would rather wait the several weeks it takes to get full price. To each his own. They get quick gold, I spend, sometimes months, holding a +1. If you feel scammed let me know in a day and we'll fix it (I've did it b4 and don't mind.) I have also used the profits to help smaller clans and new guys, so don't call me a "jew" or scammer when I am more than generous (although a tough trader at times...especially when old-timers tell me how poor they are and try to hose me.) If you want to quicksell your junk I have a set buy price and it is your choice to sell or not. I don't hide that I will probably resell.
that dude asked me to trade my shield even up for his sword, I wanted to try a Longsword (when I get back to playing), he wanted the shield,deal done!!! The market at its purest!!!!!!!!
