Yet another Resellers battle idea

05-04-2009, 01:13 AM

Hello all,

Hopefully this has not been mentioned before ( apart from in the TC restriction post by Zenga). This is not entirely my idea, it was brought up by a friend:

To have a sucessful battle against resellers in Nodi-

If Glitchless could make an option to make all AH purchased items auto-sb (not talking about berries or other stuff where SB aspect doesnt apply).
If you think about it genuine buyers from AH are buying stuff for themselves to use only.
If there is someone buying for that girl/guy over there ( which is very rare) - oh well, better transfer the money to the original person that needs the item, you both would get massive social experience anyway, so its not much loss in taxes (even twice).

The best idea in this, if the Seller could CHOOSE whether his items purchased from AH will be auto-SB or not (that is the main strike to resellers, similiar to Trade embargos). Make it an option to tick ON/OFF to make your AH sold items auto-sb.

Thats all, any ideas or countermeasures would be appreciated.

I really don't see any problem with reselling ingame items (so not tc's).

As a reseller,

1. Time cards yes... If traded for money should be soulbound. If traded for free then not soulbound. This would solve the problem with being able to trade to your other accounts and eliminate resellers.

2. Even I agree that people should be able to sale an item to the auction house as a soulbound item (one that becomes soulbound when the buyer takes posession) I get 99% of my wares from people in the trade window.

3. Trade window sales should not be soulbound. If you want it soulbound then have the option to put it in Auction House soulbound. (not in the trade window)

well that was stupid,

anyway: OR a like stamp or something put on tc's that prevent them from being sold on auction once bought

regardless, most of the TC on there now are not resellers, from what i've seen, i haven't seen any TC on the market for a while under 65k... it's all private in clan stuff now...

Either way, i don't care if someone resells my stuff... i get the gold i want out of it and thats all there is to it. Sure it might affect someone who wants to buy it, but you ALWAYS have a choice. You can grind wherever that item drops to get your epic, or you can do it the 'lazy' way and buy it from someone else who either got lucky or spent the time grinding down there.

No one MUST buy marked up stuff, and if no one buys it, then either the person selling will equip it or lower the price. why do people get so touchy about resellers anyways? For that aspect, all trophies you make with resins shouldn't be able to go on AH. because they buy from store, then resell on AH.
