eh, so... i raised my prices... alot

[peanutbutter]

and my stuff sold. amazing.

i had weapons priced for between 250k and 500k and they would NOT sell.

so, i bumped them to 4.5 mil and they sold over night.

nutts.

 

[Arch Magus]

are you kidding?

 

[peanutbutter]

no.

it's sad.

perception is everything with some people, i guess.

they say balanced... they saw, SSI, they saw DI... they just didn't register that 250k was a STEAL.

i mean, they were underpriced from the beginning, really. but i had extra, so i wanted to get rid of em...

it's social perception and association 101, i guess.

I must admit that I've just never gotten the hang of marketting.

 

[UOKaiser]

I do have to say very nice work. Like they said all about customer perception.

 

[Radun]

250k?! a NEWBIE could afford that! I won't be seen using it!
but the one for 4m, now THATs a knife I can spread butter on toast with!

isn't it a bit like the designer sunglasses and watches? people only want it because other people can't afford it.

 

[Calla Lily]

That's funny! Congrats

 

[aarons6]

what shard you on, if you want to give away more stuff let me know. ill pay the 250k

 

[Wilde1]

thats pretty funny stuff, thanks for posting (runs off to raise prices!)

 

[agpga]

Be very careful about raising your prices as the OP has somehow tapped into the vendor cost system and is taking a percentage of all money collected thus getting rich

Aaaaaaaack! UO Amway! Everybody RUN!

lol, that reminds me of a fund rasier I did in 1991. I was selling these cheap beaded necklaces at 3 for $1 and none sold. So I jumped the price to $2 each or 3 for $5. I sold out. LOL, why do people think more $$$$ = better?

LOL

While we're off-topic, I drove by an old farmer in a pickup on the side of the road a few years ago. Had a large painted plywood sign, Watermelons, $1.50 each, or 3/$5.
Being the guy I am, I had to go back and ask, if he had been selling many 3s...he smiled and nodded, said quite a few
I had to laugh and drive off, scratchin my head at the math LOL

 

[ElRay]

Shard? Exact mods on weapon? Type of weapon?

I doubt youre being truthful

 

[GalenKnighthawke]

heehee

Yeah pricing is not an exact, or any kind of, science.

I actually do well by under-cutting. I find the Luna price and cut it in half.

Is your vendor in Luna?
