But let me also react on your imaginations:
big crafters buying small amounts on street.....lol, I have seen Auktuma many times on street buying 10 zinc ingot from reseler who actually offered lowest price
From time to time Ive seen him also as he bought few peds of lyst even if he didnt need them, but price was low
Dear Matho, you don't need to spread rumours. I don't buy things what I don't need even if price is lowest (my friends could tell you that I've rejected many times to buy items at TT) and not the lowest price is meaning for me. Furthermore, I try to avoid contacts with resellers. Do not support them. I like just several fair traders. One of my principles: any work done, any service you ask from some one should be paid. By money or by service you could offer in return. Those who know me closer could tell that I never accept offers at TT value - always pay above.
I use ordering system and usualy my orders are highest, at times even higher than current markup value. Really I wish to pay MA - provider of the media we live and enjoy - and trust they will use that money to bring system to more entertaining. If reseller will get that money - I see no progress with that... I know well what work should be done to get ores and trying to do my best to support mining. I buy materials in auction from my friends even if they have not cheapest buyout. Sure just when I see that - have not much time for detailed browsing of auction. And sure if I have need for material.
Peace, Matho, I know I'm not hurry to bring info about me, so there are many rumours... My fault it is too with what you say
We could be angry for we have resellers, we could be not happy we have too many traders, but it's objective, nothing to do with it. People have no information about market values, about market tendencies, about demand, about who offers what and who needs what, people don't like to waste time on exchanging items/materials to money so people search for others who could offer that service. Some people ask high for their service (on purchase they ask higher discounts or on sell they offer prices close or even above market) and others ask lower or even happy to serve having no profit. Until some one taking their service they got life.
I should say that until we will have problems on distributing goods in EU - we will have resellers/traders. I wish MA could introduce some AI what could help with distribution and what could reduce community expenses for exchange service. Thanks for ordering system so much - that was so huge help and thanks so much for information on market activity and values on each item in game. I have no doubts they have many more options for future to improve our life.
