How many times have you said " Buying runes" and get offerd 5000 of them while you only need 200. And in a busy bank its hard to tell the person and they end up declining. There should be a little private trade chat box.

Suggested thousands of times before, but I still support it.

if you don't fully understand trades then i'll tell you how they work:

 

1. you say "buying runes"

 

2. they trade you and put up 5000 runes

 

3. as you only want 200 and not 5k, you put up the amount of g2p that equals 200 runes

 

4. the person selling you the runes go to start>programs>accessories>calculator and they work out how many runes you can buy for the amount of gp that you put up

 

 

 

Wow, no need for "a little private trade box"

 

 

 

if the person that you trade isnt smart enough to do this then click decline and find a new seller. dw about not buying the runes from that person as they aren't very bright and don't deserve to sell their goods.

wow! the level of intelligence astounds me...

 

i do all this however when your working out how many items to put by the ammount of gp they offer they decline and walk away (or accept in an effort to get stuff ridiculously cheap), if your buying and they offer lets say 5k and you offer enough for 200 they usually decline in an effort to sell it all in bulk and how many times has someone offered items when all you want is cash? or when your waiting for them to accept but not seeing they are trying to say something to you? so your typing "ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT!!!" and they are trying to tell you they have more money in the bank or summat...

 

im all in favour of a trade screen chat

Exactly. You need the in trade chat box to barter for prices and items. Without the interference of other merchants.

Happend to me JUST now. "Buying air/mind runes!" Somone offers 4000. I spam "too many runes" and he doesnt see it and walks away. It also stinks when people offer you runes you dont need and you cant tell em to take them out of trade.

So instead of "buying runes," say "buying up to 2k runes" or however many you're wanting. When I'm trading, I always say what I'm wanting to buy/sell, and at what price, saves a lot of time in the trade screens.

good idea

great idea it happened to just today earlier :lol:

I do the same thing... I say "Selling X for Ygps! I have Z to sell!"

 

 

 

The other thing is I take my trades to locations that make sense. I sell supersets and prayer pots in Edgeville, where the demand is highest.

 

 

 

It's crazy when I'm one of three people in the Canifis bank and one person stands there yelling "Selling Bow strings" or some such. I say, "You know, if you go someplace where there are more people, you might get some offers."

 

And they say, "Really. Wow! Thanks! I never thought of that!"

 

 

 

* sigh *

Yes!!! I have been thinking of the same thing for so long! I have just never posted it. That would make merchanting so much easier

good idea. I'm assuming most people here have tried to trade at west bank in varrok on world 1 :shock: plus if you are trading high priced items wouldnt you like to barter :-k
