Just out of curiousity, I want to buy a full soulstone from you for $15 when EA sells them for $10. Uh....why?

**Silverfoot** · 10-11-2007, 12:29 PM

While the value of the gold might equal $15, he's not asking for cash but in game gold. I'd chalk it up to just using in game stuff rather than real money. The RL value of gold can change.

IMHO

jfk · 10-11-2007, 05:07 PM

Hmm. I read it as $14.99 RL dollars.

**Silverfoot** · 11-11-2007, 06:11 AM

ahhh, yep I just saw the token for gold page not the other page for $.

Not only that but his prices are way inflated...sorry bro I don't mean to run ur business elsewhere but when you are charging $6.49 per mil....LOL...Anyone want to buy anything check out xxxxx ... only thing I have bought is gold from him @ $2.00 per mil...but I have surfed the other guys and for the most part Puff's prices are the best!

**Adam** · 11-11-2007, 07:23 AM

You realise those prices are for siege, right?
He charges $2.29 a million for gold on normal shards.

As for staypuff/puffcodes, well, I won't comment on his reputation, but there's a reason why we don't allow his site to be advertised or linked to here.

**merth** · 11-11-2007, 07:28 AM

the problem here isn't over inflation cyber is trying to run a business which means making money! Of course he is going to be higher than EA on his pricing its called mark-up! When you are a reputable dealer your prices are going to be higher than 1. the source of the product and 2. the dealers who may be less scrupulous and doesnt care what his sources are. So the question really is do you want to use a respected dealer you can trust or take your chances elsewhere? I'm personally not in favor of buying virtual goods or currency myself however I also dont feel its necessary to flame against someone with a good track record trying to run a business. If you dont like his prices then dont use him. As to why would you pay him more than EA well some people are tired of giving EA money and tho they want the item they will pay a couple bucks more than to throw more money at the EA giant money sink. And I'm not sure of this point or not but cyber probably delivers faster than EA.

THe ONLY broker I have used (I got tired of mining and stuff, wanted to finsih my crafter) is Cyber. I did check everyone else out. At first, I wanted gold, and ordered it. Cyber responded in 4 minutes, saying he was out of gold on Lake Austin, and refunded the money two minutes after that. WOW.

Referring to facacatc(sp?) post on EA shopping, I would have to say this is definitely leading edge customer service. If he charges a little for a scrupolously clean rep, he deserves it. Alot of other brokers have to lower prices to get business, because their reps are damaged.

I AGREE TOTALLY YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON GREAT SERVICE

If I were still playing, I'd rather go through Cybernickel than EA's rather..unreliable uogamecodes website.
I don't think I was ever able to buy a code through that site, it either didn't like my password, address or credit card.
