Really it doesn't -have- to be clean, so long as i'm not paying much extra for a UV. So feel free to offer me your gremlin:low and beast:medium uv'd orbitguns, if that happens to be the case.

I'm looking to offer 95kce, which currently is about 8,325,000 roughly. After looking at Legobuild's price sheet, other posts on here, and speaking to some other users I feel this is a fair price, however if you'd like to negociate a somewhat different price it might be able to be arranged. You can typically reach me ingame, however if i'm offline please feel free to mail me ingame about the details of a potential trade.

is that so?

I've spoken to plenty of people who own it and have bought it recently, 95kce is a decent offer for it. As an aside, it's also slightly higher than most of the other bids i've seen on here (about 85-90kce). If this were 2016 i'd surely agree with you, but I think the community as a whole has acknowledged its price drop by now.
As for Lego's prices, yes they can be negociable obviously but I believe they're a pretty good benchmark for where prices are. An easy example would be the Silver Player Color item- same drop rate as the orbitgun, and I was barely able to sell it earlier this very same day for 115,00ce.

2016? lol it was over 150ke a month ago ;) It's hard to beleave you can find one for the price you said, most of the guns out there (very few) are over 120k clean and will rise the price again since the promo is over. Anyway, as I said, gl with that ;)

Baiting noted

Look dude, i've seen you on the fourms trying to bait/troll people a while back because you're upset about the price drop. It's cool, I get it, nobody wants their stuff to suddenly be worth less than it was, but this is the way things are now, no need to try looking like a dank troll with all those winks when i'm still one highest bidders on the forums currently. If you're truely upset over the change in price then take it up with GH, not with players, because the latter really doesn't do you any good.

Wishing you luck finding your

Wishing you luck finding your item for a low price is trolling? LOL How many offers have you had so far? Let me guess: none. That's because no one will sell their orbit for that price, specially now that the promo is gone. BTW, found an orbit for sale: https://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/120036 you can tell that guy that eventhough it is a GM item, this is not 2016 so it's way overpriced ;)

Okay let's just end it like this

That might've seemed passive aggressive of me, so let me elaborate on this so hopefully you'll see my point.
I'll just break this down as simply as I can in the hopes that you will get this:

1.) Baiting is not necessarially the same as trolling, simply put, it's that silly ";)" you keep putting, implying a sort of tongue in cheek childish behavior with the hope that someone will get annoyed by it and start an argument or something. At least that's how i've always seen it used on other forums.
But maybe i'm wrong in this one regard. However- potential baiting is still a bit annoying to see on a forum that I generally only see nice players chatting on.

2.) Wishing me luck is cool, and I appreciate it if it's genuine since these weapons are hard to come by, so if you're trying to be genuine, thanks. But the thing is, as I said before, I'm offering what I can- which is more than what others are OFFERING currently- as well as stating that the price is negociable. Now, what that means is that if the person is perhaps interested in selling to me but maybe wants a bit more- or maybe doesn't have a clean one and they'd like to ask for a higher price, then they can. If you disagree with my price it's fine, but there's really no need to restate over and over that you think they should be worth what they were pre-2018 promo, or try to mock me for understanding price drops.

3.) This is the thing that's controlling the value currently: Artificial inflation. Artificial inflation is what happens when there's a lack of a resource, desired thing, or whatever that is purely due to unnecessary practices. Being honest here, if GH would just do the respectable thing for the 99% of the community who wants it (but will never be able to afford it) and create...say, one that only deals elemental with no other variables like fire/shock, then not only would we not be having this talk- but the problem of the orbitgun/mixmaster having hilarously inflated prices wouldn't be happening either. Instead they'd be more along the price of a reskin, albiet with an effect that could raise its value, but not by an extremely large factor. So, since these are an artificially scarce resource due to the methods of obtaining them, the owners (like the one you provided) are completely free to ask for WHATEVER they want. And, to be fair, you might be right in the idea that some rich players might actually buy it. The thing is, in all my discussions with people across Haven, on the forum posts, etc, the HIGHEST anyone has ever seriously suggest I bid is 120kce. It USED to be worth 200kce and is now worth even LESS due to there being more available now. So, logically speaking, for a CLEAN orbitgun the price would essentially have to be less than 200kce.

4.) Once again, i'm offering what I feel is fair. After viewing the forums and looking at all the OFFERS people are listing (because I was unable to find anyone still selling them), I found that 95kce would be the current highest current bid on here. I've since upped it slightly since the Promo has ended, and it has spiked up slightly, however as it stands MOST people looking to buy an orbitgun simply aren't going to be paying that outlandish price of 200k+ce for an artificially rare weapon that- at a moments notice- could easily be turned into a craftable weapon and cause a market crash. And maybe that sounds strange of me to say- but remember the Darkfang Shield? Remember Zee cores? Maybe one day we'll be adding "Remember the orbitgun and mixmaster?" to that as well. I guess what i'm saying is, it's honestly fine if you want to charge 200, hell, charge a MILLION ce for a clean one if you want. Nobody's going to want to pay that much though.

Welp, that was a lot to type out but hopefully you get what i'm saying here. Long story short though, i'm not going to entertain silly artificial prices and I don't think the community should either. Now, if you'd like to sell me an Orbitgun- or hook me up with a potential buyer for my new offer of 115kce, i'd greatly appreciate that. Otherwise please leave the comments here for potential sellers.
