I have lots of items that players want to buy - but i really dont want to "waste" my time by trying to sell to them - maybe i want 4k for it - and the buyer only want to pay 2k - and if we might agree on eg. Have u ever tried WTB "I have the Power" 10k (or so). It wasn't that long ago that I would've had about five whispers within 15 seconds of putting up my WTB. One day last week, I stood in Kamadan for two effing hours spamming for two "I Have the Power" inscriptions. It wouldn't surprise me to see ectos back to 20/100k. I'm curious to see what'll happen when Wintersday arrives. So it's my guess that there are a fair number of players saying "screw it, it's easier to sell to the mat trader". Not to mention that a good chunk of the "buyers" are idiots offering the same amount that the mat trader pays. I think the same thing is happening with ectos - it's hard to sell them. It's hard as hell to sell pretty much everything, and even buying simple stuff has become a chore. That pattern is based on the fact that players usually sell their ecto to other players, with the exception being major holidays when quick cash is needed for buying title stuff (tickets for nine rings, Wintersday gifts, ToT's, etc).Īnyone who trades on a regular basis will tell you that the market has *really* gone to shit over the past 8 months or so. There might also be slight dips for the other major holidays like Dragon Festival and Halloween. What usually happens is that ecto prices drop when Wintersday starts and gradually recover starting after Canthan New Year. If ecto nosedives I lose many millions in the space of seconds. So, I have to take the rough with the smooth. Half my wealth is in ecto primarily due to the fact it's my only few real wealth storage option besides Asian minis and armbraces. In the trading world we call it a 'dead cat bounce' Sometimes it'll make a jump upwards, but it never lasts. Now I have a lot of ecto and it trades at 6-7k. By the time I had no cash issues ecto was trading 8-10k. By the time I'd made enough cash to worry about stockpiling ecto it was down to 10-15K. When I first started trading (low end) way back in mid 2005 ecto traded at 15-20k. For a while there was good money in selling greens, but as people got more proficient with farming them the prices dropped and they were no longer worth trading (for me).Įcto - The ecto market will always be on a down trend. Granted the introduction of greens helped the market along. I can get 20 gold drops and have to merch 19 of them because it takes more effort then it's worth to sell them. Virtually everything is worthless now due to how easy it is to 'make' perfect items. GW market died many years ago when they replaced non-inscrib golds with inscrib golds IMO. If it can be farmed it isn't an investment.
