    Do you give people huge discounts on things that you've ABed? I sometimes feel guilty and give ppl huge discounts as long as they aren't resellers, since it's not like I had to work hard to get the items anyway.

    But when I know people are resellers I for some reason get really greedy haha

    I come from a land down under! (Maaaate!)
    I usually look at the item.. look at TP prices. Select a price a crapton lower than I'll take and the first to offer gets it :p

    I'm under the view > easy come, easy go.

    I didn't work to earn it, so I'll happily take less than its worth (unless ETS :p). then someone else profits from me cheating ;)

    EDIT: But I don't post the price I'll take because I don't want to deflate items...

    I actually sell ALL my items really cheap. Unless they're super ETS. On some of the Attic items, I actually go 60%-70% off TP price. I'm just so impatient with my items... I can't hold items for longer than a week.. It just bugs me :p

    I just try to get rid of my items ASAP. After all, its always better to have pure NP than something that is insanely HTS.

    With attic items, I normally take anything more than like 100k unless it's worth waaaay more. :p

    What location? ;o
    lol For me, I sell AB'ed items the same way I sell my legitly restocked items. The usual - if HTS, you tend to discount more. I'm a very patient seller, so I'm stubborn and quite immune to extreme hagglers looking to get my items XD

    Yes I usually sell my items at reseller values - like 40-50% off TP - I mainly just want them converted to NP as fast as possible, so as long as I am not taking a loss from the initial buy I'm all good :)

    People who Auto-Buy nearly always sell items away for cheap cheap for the obvious reason that it took them very little effort to acquire them and they feel supremely confident in their ability to get more with minimal effort. That they are stepping on each other in the rush to devalue these items doesn't matter - I started a thread about this topic before and no one wants to care or think past the next sale. So it is what it is.

    I've learned to get over that, but neopoints selling for $3 per million still and always will drive me up a wall (at least until it gets down to $2.50/mil). I can't believe that anyone, whatever their age or social standing, feels that $3/mil is worth their time - minimal effort or not.
