How To Haggle

Haggling is all about getting a good deal, without going overbored.

e.g. P1."Can I buy your kiki for 25k?" P2."make it 26k" P1. "Send Trade"

Though most cases arn't that easy. whee

To haggle you need to be a good talker.

You need to be smooth, and not rush out and be like "29k!11!! SEND TRADE NOW!!11!!11!"

That is wrong.

Always start low end low.

The Best way to learn to Haggle is practise. The more you practise the better you will get.

Lets begin with

Lesson 1. How to start a haggle

To start a haggle you must first know the price of the item your dealing with.
In this example I am going to use a Sno Yeti.

Lets say someone is selling the yeti for 5k but you dont want to pay that much because you wont make any profit when you sell it.

You would politely suggest a different price. e.g. 4k for yeti please.

After this you will most likely get a reply with an answer back.
e.g. How about 4.8k

At this point you already got them to go down 200g.

Good, now ask for a little less. NEVER ASK FOR A LOT LESS. It is rude, and pointless.

e.g. How about 4.4k

You lowered it by 400g now again wait for a reply.

A good idea is to open a new window for other topics while waiting for replies.
so you can talk to 2 or 3 people at once. And it takes up time, and your buying stuff in the process.
e.g. I have 3 windows open right now. 1 in a thread for a ninja headband, another in a thread for a sno yeti, and another in the marketplace.

Back to the sno yeti. They will usually reply back.
e.g. How about 4.6k?

Then you would reply back with something within the lines of
"Can we meet at 4.5k? If so send trade"

"Trade Sent!"

And again, ALWAYS BE POLITE. I cannot stess this enough.
People dont want to sell or buy from assholes.

There you have lesson 1 of haggling.

How And When To Sell In The Market Place

This guide is going to teach you how to sell in the market place and when to sell in the market place.

First off, NEVER get attached to your items.
Put on something simple and keep it that way. This is my only outfit apart from my flame outfit.
I sell everything I buy, and buy everything I can as low as I can.

For this lesson I am going to use Sealed Letters.

For information on sealed letters go HERE.

Once I buy my items I always sell them. Right away.

Normally I usually spend all my gold, or most. And sell all the things I bought for more.

Now lets say I bought 1 sealed for 5k. I can either sell it now for 6k, or wait until the end of the month and sell it for 7k.

I recomend selling it now.

When selling you want to put a price that is pleasing to the eye. But still high.
Lets say you want to sell a sealed letter for 6k I would put it for 5999g.

People in there minds, they see the 5 and there brain tells them, "Hey! 5 is smaller than 6 so we should buy it" or atleast that is what I have learned from my experiences. 3nodding

Another option is to sell it with a 898 at the end e.g. 103,898

That 898 is also a pleasing number to the brain.

You always want to sell with a number pleasing to the brain!

good tips!
