Flutterr Shy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 OK, so I've recently decided to give flipping a try. So, I'm trying new items, and unpowered orbs catch my eye. GE price was (and still) is 156 (annd on the increase. I think +6 at the time). So, i go to buy one. I get it for 100gp. Go to sell it check margins. try somehere in the 70s. Not selling. Go lower. Still no selling. Dump it in for 1gp. It sells for 5gp. Well, naturally i thought that this is great and that I should buy as many as I can, for obvious reasons. I managed to get 4k for 10gp each. over a couple of hours. about 5-7 hours later, the selling/buying price is in the 180s/190s. Now, I did manage to buy this at a not super high peak time. It was around noon-2pm here and I'm -7 GMT. Can anybody explain here? Is this a normal thing for some items? Maybe a really strange bug?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwasha Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Luck. You just happened to be on when someone was selling a lot of them and there were no buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutterr Shy Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Luck. You just happened to be on when someone was selling a lot of them and there were no buyers. ... selling them at 10gp or less? I mean, i'm not complaining here .. but still. it's a little odd.

JeRambo Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Unpowered orbs aren't the only item. Right now I'm trying to buy decorated mining urns for around 1 gp each and I've already got a couple hundred. Sometimes people are just really impatient and put items in for 1 gp. Hell, I've done it before... :rolleyes: "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." "An imperfect man can do great deeds, and a great man imperfect ones.
