Great way to trick people using /barter !

Xislaben - You were using Shift+Click to sell a stack at a time, right? Things go much fast that way

[Winenose]

You should be able to sell by the same stack size that you can buy. In case of radiant crystals, that's either 500 or 1000.

Couple weeks back I unloaded 2600 crystals to barter.. that was a LOT of clicking them by 20.

Well I checked the buyers on my server. There were two with two buy lines for the same item, but both had the same price on each buy line. *shrug* As my sig says, your mileage will vary.

Oh, and the default UI size... yeah I've just recently started playing again, semester break, and going to the new UI I've had to resize a bunch of windows. Generally I get my main character set up were all the windows are the way I like them and then just copy the set up over to all my other characters. Barter is about the worst for "default" opening, both in buyer and seller modes. For the longest time I wasn't able to do tasks at all, because I couldn't arrange the window to show me "progression" ... makes it somewhat hard to finish a task if you can't see what you are supposed to do.

two different plat offers for the same item....

When I'm in buyer mode I sometimes have 2 different pure pp offers for the same item, although I will always list my best offer on top of the list to prevent people from making mistakes since that is not my intention However I do find 2 different prices to come in very handy, I normally set up buy lines like that when I have an order of gear waiting and I don't mind paying extra for the components used in them.
With crystals I'm basically the same way, on the bottom of my list I will have lines filled with buying them at 75pp each because at that price I will welcome any quantity (still need lots for alts hehe) but on top of my list I normally have 1 buy line offering a bit more to ensure I will buy at least some crystals during the night so I can get that spell haste V aug in the morning my cleric has been begging for
So far only 1 person made the mistake of using my bottom lines to sell his wares for a bit less than I was offering on top of the list.

Wether you're selling or buying items... always double check before you hit the confirmation button. If you do make a mistake: asking for a refund never hurts

1) Set up a barter mule

2) Offer to buy an item for some highish amount (106pp)

3) On the same mule offer to buy the same item for very low (1cp)

4) Put the low priced item in the higher bag slot (like you would stat food)

5) Traders (like me) who sort by price and don't check (therefore its my fault, I know) will run to you and click sell before they know they just lost their ass.


Fun for the whole family!

People that pay attention, though, will rob you blind.

People that pay attention, though, will rob you blind.

Not if your expensive buy line is for one item and your cheap one for 999.

Thanks for the heads up...

Thanks, I do a lot of selling to buyers and have never noticed this. Looking on my server atm we do not seem to have that yet, but I am sure it is coming. Much like checking your sell price in /trader (I once bought a CCoM for 565p that way) it is always "wise to look before ye press de button".

I've noticed on my buyer mule that when I delete a buy line, it is gone for that session, but when I relog another time, the delete buy line has returned. Depending on how many buy lines you have set up, this may not be noticed buy a buyer. Of course I did not /bug this because I am lazy and haven't been in /buyer mode in a month or so.
