Where would I go for help with pricing items?

Since there are still items that cannot be auctioned (*string of profanity*), how can I possibly know how much I should sell something for? I don't want to just go into the marketplace forum and say "How much would you give me for this cubi? How about this one?" because I know someone would say "oh those go for 2k!" when they actually go for 10k or something. >_<

  • There are some threads kicking about in these forums somewhere in which the OP's assigned some general values for cubimals based on their rarity from testing. They may not be quite the same, but at least it might give you an idea of the rarity of such things.

    Also, just watching the Marketplace forum for threads about the things you are considering selling can be helpful. I'm sure sometimes one can be found where you can figure out at what price it sold.

  • This is exactly the same problem every merchant faces in real life.

  • Speaking as a real life merchant, yes, we all have to determine for ourselves how much to charge for goods and services.

    Part of the equation is wholesale cost; part is what will the market bear.

    As to wholesale cost, I have an advantage in real life, as almost everything costs actual dollars (not energy or cherries). As to what the market will bear, Glitchian sellers have the advantage IMO -- there isn't a preset msrp, or a very wide range of sellers as competition.

  • How much are Glitches paying and how much are you willing to sell for?  Watch the forums and decide.  Hold or sell and pay attention to what was required to acquire what you want to sell.. it depends on your short/long term goals. Going prices sometimes change dramatically over a few Glitch hours/days time. Carpe occasionem :)

  • The Link above is low - for example, on Sat. I sold a Gweldyn. cubie for 63k - not the 50 - 60 the link says.

    Also, do talk with Jessenya, as she's the queen of the Cubimal Market!

  • You know, all the high values increased, and all the low values decreased. That's odd.

  • Well, for cubis I would say just ask Jessenya. She is the queen of the market, Meher is right.
