Skipp003 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 "4444 To sell " or "4444 To buy " ______________________ I know I still use this, now people only say: "Sell " or "Buy " ______________________ Post your thoughts... ~SkippWn \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeBeaun Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 It's easier for the person to just find you, instead of you having to watch for a "4444" and then having to find that person. Its more steps involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das1330 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 there was a topic about this awhile ago if i remember correctly, but it seems like people just dont like to do it anymore. i used to do this, but i just put my name on the end now so people can pm me.

Eyrelex Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I still see this quite often on free worlds. Check out my Pocket Slot idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I still use that method.... although my preferred number is 666 lol. I find it very useful if i'm selling a lot of items, for instance... 666 to buy whip - 1.7m 777 to buy rune boots - 170k 888 to buy lava staff etc... That way I can watch for whatever number is called then I know what item to sell... less farting around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was my topic, and the title was almost the same as this =P I'm like "I'm sure I've seen this before..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkbullet3 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Why don't people stop being lazy and just type something clear that everyone can understand? For example: "Selling 100 for 10k! ~" >_> And I still kinda get annoyed when people say "sell/buy" instead of "selling/buying"... proper grammar is important. ^ Blog.

mchainmail Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 >_> And I still kinda get annoyed when people say "sell/buy" instead of "selling/buying"... proper grammar is important. Shorter words that get the message across make communication faster in the limited chat box. I hate it when people say really long messages.

R_2_H Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I used to do it in RSC, I think the reason some people don't do it anymore is that someone will type 4443, just to get your hopes up and ultimately dissapoint you.

Ddrmaster7 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 >_> And I still kinda get annoyed when people say "sell/buy" instead of "selling/buying"... proper grammar is important. Shorter words that get the message across make communication faster in the limited chat box. I hate it when people say really long messages. But if someone says, "Sell yew longs", you can't really tell whether or not the person is commanding you to sell yew longs or if he is just leaving out the "ing". It's annoying, and I agree with pink. The 444 thing just annoys me. It's a lot easier to just say your name, and whoever trades you trades you. Like Tee said, it's more steps involved to shout 444 and have to look for it. Ranked top 15 in the world for In The Groove. Click to watch videos.I'm back! For now.

lorddayu Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I used to do: "999999999999999999 to sell rune ess", but now I just either use flash and wave and that kinda stuff or the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macmaster92 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 No offence to you and not trying to be mean but this thread is kinda pointless. Anyway its just easier to find the person selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3nic Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 "4444 To sell " or "4444 To buy " Omg that was so RSC !! Brings back many memories ! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meili Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I don't even understand merchants now, why do they type in the same thing over and over that people can't understand without replying to the people talking to them? "Buy 500 ess" I asked if he wanted to buy ess or if he was looking for ess buyers but he never replied so I still have no idea what these noobs mean when they say "buy."

SwreeTak Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 This modern version is much easier, and it involves not as many steps as the other one. That's why it's much more popular now than the other version. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unkn0wnwarrior Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I never did use this method... I have always preferred the more efficient way of including your name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
