Striker6 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Have you ever made a trade and been relatively satisfied with it and then painfully discovered that you were actually merched. By merched I do not mean scammed or conned simply been caught by a merchant and lost money. Well share your stories :ohnoes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Reborn Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I would be the dude merching everyone off. What's funny is some people try to resell my stuff even though I'm a reseller myself. But no, I haven't experienced anyone merching off my items that I sell them. Visit my Runescape comedy website, based on in-game screenshots.

zaquierming Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hehe, yeah. Someone offered me a price that I was over contempt with but when I saw him selling that item for higher I felt like I got a terrible deal. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishkahbanks Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Its happened to me a few times but usually il let things go for a bit less than normal as i cant be bothered hanging around trying to get that extra 50k or whatever it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznmidget448 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Sold a d spear (p) for 80k and as I was about to leave, the player said "Selling d spear 150k!" and everyone swarmed in... ARGH! Then there was that time with my good old santa. Sold it for 500k (coming back from a nice long break and in need of a little cash) and then he told me it was worth 1 mill... Great... (I was still a level 60 yew chopping noob so it was a lot of money to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deiophobus Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 well, the other day I was selling natures in fally world 2, and I was selling for 305 each. I sold 10k to a guy, who promptly started yelling "selling 10k natures 310 each!" I feel dumb :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I'm actually knowingly being merchanted quite frequently :XD: I usually overpay for my supplies so I can get it in bulk faster. I don't mine it :P EDIT: i always over buy and under sell. but i dont painfully figure out afterwards and say im ripped off, its what i wanted to happen. Same here :) Just because I like to get skills done quickly. Over buy so I can get my supplies fast and under sell so I can get the product off my hands and start over :XD: - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spooferfish Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 All the time. I get tired of trying to sell something, so i look at what people are saying they will sell it for, and go a little lower. Or, when I bought my dragon chain, they were selling for 23m at the time. I tried for a bit to get for 23, then said "Buying dragon chain, 25m -spoof" flooded with trade requests.

Giordano Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I get merch'ed a lot of times. I just don't care for a measly few thousand GP. I'll rather train or talk rather than to wait a extra 15 minutes selling my stuff. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Bludragon124 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Just like most people, I usually overbuy and undersell. I have some contempt for the rs market, and I just try to get out of there as quick as possible. The faster, the better. Noted raw mackerel drop... Wtfh? Always buying: Watermelon seeds, 2K each. Strawberry seeds, 800 each. Contact Via PM on forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killre3 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well I would say that time is more valuable money because I can turn time into skills or I can turn time into money. I also over buy and under sell just because I don't have time to wait 30 mins to save 50k. In that 30 mins I could easily make more than 50k and get plenty of skill experience also.

dorington Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Ive seen a guy buy white knight armor off another guy for 300k (legs and body I think). The guy selling it only wanted a few k but this guy offered 300k for it! I tried to warn him but e except and said to me, "All white armor is at least 100k noob!!" He then ran off Barrows drops: Torags pl8, Torgas legs, Guthans chainskirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
