I really would like one of the Coral Rose Tabards, but due to my lack of both crystal energy and actual money, I won't be able to afford one before they are all gone.
Now, here's my favor: could someone buy one of the Coral Rose Tabards, then hang onto it while I gather the money to pay it off? Sorry if this sounds like begging - think of it as a future trade offer. (I also apologize if this is in the wrong forum.)
Coral: 595k crowns, violet 625k crowns. CE at and around 67. That would be around 9k ce price, so Giannii wants 1k ce profit. Quite reasonable.
Collateral is...? Pre-paid %? And if he refuses to buy, would you keep the money?
OOO says the featured auctions are dynamic... meaning the items and prices could change. Originally there were 1,000 of each of those tabards/chapeaus, leading me to believe that they will be coming and going in batches until those 1,000 are gone. What if the price changes and the next batch of 200 are cheaper? More expensive? Food for thought.

I feel entitled to keep the money if I get ripped off :P However since I'm nice I could give back whatever I can after reselling it to someone else and keeping my profit. That's IF I can get back anything though, otherwise tough luck, the collateral basically forces people to keep their word unless ooo halves the price, and in that case I'm set not to lose too much. (Inb4 next weekend when they release the rose sets with a ce package :P)
giannii is offering as fair a deal as you are likely ever to get. i am amazed that anyone stepped up to help you :) just b/c its such a big money investment with so much risk involved. **thumbsup to gianni** for being such a good sumaritan.
Giannii is reliable and a clean dealer. I would do it.
I can say the same. From what ive seen, Giannii is a trustworthy individual, and has a good reputation, as you can tell.
How do you know they'll release them as a ce package?
We <3 Giannii.
vouch for him obviously .
@Giannii: That sounds pretty reasonable. Now, you want 40% of the AH price up front, yes?
yeah, also need to know how long will i have to wait beforehand :P, 6 months would be too much obviously
For which, the collateral or the actual buying process?
The collateral may take a few days to get to you.
The transaction will be a few days after Christmas. If not then, then around February 15th.
Also, would you consider lowering the collateral percentage to somewhere between 30-35%? I understand the reason for it (adds commitment), but it's a bit steep for someone only gaining crowns from clockwork delving.
Gah I had typed a lot and well explained and everything and lost it because it decided to log me off :(
Summary... no. I could do 20% collateral with a piece of gear or such, but these things dont have constant prices.
For Coral tabard:
Collateral: 3800ce (counted for payment), or 40% of AH price in crowns (not counted for payment, and to be refunded upon successful trade)
I buy the thing after receiving the collateral.
If you pay in CE before christmas.
Price: 9000CE
If you pay before Feb 16.
Price: 9900CE
If you pay after that.
Price: 11000CE
Weekly payments: 200CE to be paid at any day within the week
At the very least, I will log in once a week to check my email and look for payments sent there. (In practice I log in every day however and you would save the attachment fee)
If at any point you are late on three weekly payments then you lose everything.
The week the deal starts on is also counted.
Weeks are calendar weeks, with Sundays as the first day of the week, using GMT0 timezone.
Buy with games deal:
I'll accept 16$ in Steam games instead of the CE price at any time, and refund whatever needs to be refunded. However I decide what games to accept and what value to give to them. This will not work out if you may only buy from Europe or such regions with increased prices. The trade will HAVE to be using Steam Trade, as such your steam account must have at least one purchase made 90 days prior to the day our trade will take place or Steam will not allow you to trade anything to me, this is their method of account validation.
Payment Deadline: 2012/03/01 00:00:00 GMT0
If you dont pay by this time then you lose everything.
If Three Rings does another price cut and issues refunds, the refund will be held until the trade is successful and then given back to you.
Finally, despite whatever people are saying here, imagine I will do everything in my power to get you to fail your payment and keep everything for me. It's only if you are sure the trade is possible for you despite this that you should agree to it. Last thing I want is getting angry at you for ripping me off or getting yourself "ripped off" by me. If its too expensive or too risky for you (you must know yourself better than I do :P) then good luck, I believe the tabards will be available in the future anyway.
...On second though, I'm going to have to decline. This whole transaction would be a lot easier if I had a steady income (something that I can't necesarily have during the course of school), and not bugging my parents for money.
Sorry for using your time on something that I won't have the ability to follow up on.
I could, but first I'd like a profit, and second a collateral. The profit doesnt have to be huge, but the collateral would, I'm thinking 40% of the current price for collateral. And 10% for profit, minimum 750ce, maximum 1.5kce (sorry dont recall their price to give a exact number), would do for me. Add me as friend if you haven't got any trade yet and you like my terms.
