Re: My attempt to price turn-in items

I take it you are using those illegally scripted websites to find your price info. Not judging, that is a personal choice, but if you went and *looked* around Luna there is plenty for sale especially the lower-ticket-value things and raw tickets.

200gp a point as I said.

If I'm underpriced, let's have people start posting shard prices.

I find it significant that there are absolutely no turn-in items for sale in Luna on any shard yet (11:20 Mountain). That tells me people are massing stockpiles for inflated sales. If these items were truely going to be rare/hard-to-get you can bet they would have already hit a vendor in Luna.

Thanks to the people who replied with substance - let's start a good discussion!

Re: My attempt to price turn-in items

My opinon, somewhere between 10 and 200 gp.

On finduo.com, a lot of Luna vendor cursed arties at 200k sold out, so obviously 40 gp per point was acceptable to someones. There are still plenty at 300K or more. So, based on Luna cursed artie pricing, between 40 and 60 gp seems ball parkish. Just buying cursed arties at 400k each is "only" 8 mil for an armor piece.

Re: My attempt to price turn-in items

Thank you for posting -- not greed at all, but rather return on investment. Imagine the time invested to obtain those zillion shields or thousand pieces of rubble needed. Or the time invested to earn the gold fairly to speculate and buy enough items to obtain enough points.

One thing we need to realize is how *many* UO Billionaires there really are. In fact, the average UO player, if liquidated, is well into the hundreds of millions of gold value. Price things accordingly, your time is worth it.

Re: My attempt to price turn-in items

Plenty of Cursed arties? On Napa there are zero for sale except my three which won't sell, obviously. OK maybe one Headdress for 1.2m....

Let's see here. None available on the Napa shard......but yours??
Then it seems pretty clear to me, folk on Napa would rather do without, than pay your prices

Re: My attempt to price turn-in items

As far as the Knights Armor goes, you can do some quick calculations on how many pieces could possibly be in circulation on each shard...

I'll take an average of 25,000,000 points in the turn in box per shard right now (this will obviously raise as days go by). That's around 250 possible knights armor pieces (considering people obviously chose other rewards, this is certainly much lower) for a total of around 41 suits per shard at the absolute most.

Going by that rarity, I would say 5M per piece would be a fair price, perhaps 3-4 on the smaller shards once the hype settles down a bit.

I've seen snake boots for 1.5-5.5m, depending on the color, and the sherry statues from 1m-2m, while the earrings were 300k-750k.

Re: My attempt to price turn-in items

Yes I priced those arties too high, I am too busy to fix it but I will pull them soon. The point is that *no one* is buying *anything* on Napa right now.

wow, im just dumbfounded....and to be real honest i'm trying to hold back some much deserved ranting. if your not overly impressed by our "mentality", go back to stratics. by making such unprovoked, and rather grade school-ish, comments...i cant help but point out the obvious...your starting to look "poor"(mentality that is) in the minds of a lot of people

Re: My attempt to price turn-in items

You could be right, but personally I think it will be higher value, because *almost all* of the rewards chosen are the lower-ticket-value items like earrings, boots, statues, sashes and shirts.
