 | 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  Who's Next? is it YOU?! |

 | 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.  Thanks to Maddux for the wonderful sig! |

| 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I was affiliated with UOPowergamers, back when Nieves owned it): http://www.uocraft.com/price_sbod.php All are sadly outdated now, and I don't have the kind of time that I used to to keep them up to date or add all the rest that should be done! |

(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... -RMS Carpathia-  -Back to the Future 2- Marty McFly: There he is, Doc! Let's land on him, we'll cripple his car. Doctor Emmett L. Brown: Marty, he's in a '46 Ford, we're in a DeLorean. He'd rip through us like we were tin foil. -RMS Carpathia- |

| 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: |
