    I have:
    Camo PB worth ~180k

    I have been offered:
    Minty shrimp, retired, supposedly worth 290k-390k

    But I think its probably very HTS....

    So my question to you is, should I take it?
    Please give me your rationale behind whatever your decision is.

    There's one up in auction for 200k...it will end in 8-24 hrs...see if anyone bids, just to help your decision...I really dunno, I hate HTS...I'd rather sell for cheap pure than for a HTS...:/

    Im guessing 'Hard To Sell'?
    But thats just a stab in the dark.

    please don't get fooled by that offer!
    HTS(hard to sell)items are always way overpriced than it's true value, for two reasons:

    (1)Since it's that hard to sell out, why don't that seller get a lot profit out of it
    instead a little?

    (2)The sellers set the price high enough for some room to be haggled, at the same time, still have room to earn some profit

    So, in my opinion, if the TP price of that HTS item is around 300k - 400k, it probably will be sold out for 200k-300k or so.

    Correct me if im wrong, thank you :)

    Well, he made my decision for me, it seems. He withdrew after I neomailed him telling him I was thinking about his offer and to just give it some time. Thanks for everybody's help though! :)

    Just an update, nobody has yet to bid on that minty shrimp for 200k...so it probably wouldn't have been a good trade anyways...as I said before, just go for pure, even if it's a little under price. Much less hassle than HTS items :p
