Do you think we should get people to make a price guide?

I think it would be a great idea for us to get a price guide on this site that updates everyso often due to fluxuating item prices... but i swear that would make things so much ezier on me and many others i bet ... Just an Idea

Re: Do you think we should get people to make a price guide?

A price guide would be cool, but that's a MAJOR amount of work to ask someone to undertake--both setting up and keeping it current.

Re: Do you think we should get people to make a price guide?

I know from experience... keeping such a thing current is next to impossible (or would require a huge amount of dedication from LOTS of people - considering each shard should technically have its own guide!)

For example, I did some price guides (most recently updated about a year ago):

Bulk resources: http://www.uocraft.com/price_bulk.php

Magic armor (this one was a TON of work): http://www.uocraft.com/calc_magic_armor.php

Smithy BOD's (this page is still on the old template from when I was affiliated with UOPowergamers, back when Nieves owned it):
http://www.uocraft.com/price_sbod.php

All are sadly outdated now, and I don't have the kind of time that I used to to keep them up to date or add all the rest that should be done!

Re: Do you think we should get people to make a price guide?

Very difficult thing to carry out, awful lot of work.........


I always look to see what things sell for, then deduct 5% to get my prices

A Price guide is easy, Dip and I set the prices, and everyone pays us.

And if you don't like our policy, we'll just take what your trying to sell.

(all this implies your near us, in Felucca)

Voted No. Not because it sounds lame, just not worth the time/effort, but would not turn away from it if it existed. My personal pricing guide (when I had/have vendors) is to basically undercut everyone. Yeah, that's me selling BoS's, Recalls, PS's, armor, etc. for less than you.

Thanks again Maddux!

Re: Do you think we should get people to make a price guide?

The hard part would be the item prices varying shard to shard...

Re: Do you think we should get people to make a price guide?

how about instead of a price guide for our vendors a price guide of what npc's sell the items for ... like just how much does a tinker sell the flutes for, how much is cookies at the bakers (oh that one i do know 3gp's) it would sure be handy for me as a merchant to know as well as when needing to buy stuff like .... flour, honey, yarn, sewing kits (yeah im showing my trades )

... just my cookie crumb thoughts


*** oh psst, Maddux and Dip .. that's just one more reason why you have to visit me in tram instead of me visiting you :grin:
