Public Service Announcement.
EXTRA SHORT HEIGHT MOD:
15k Ce is a terrible offer.
15,000 CE = 975k crowns at current rate.
Right now there is an Extra Short mod in the Auction House (time left short) with a 1.75m bid on it. So this 15k ce is worth approx. half the value of the item.
prices as of Friday 24th 8:30 eastern time. Its 100% guaranteed that this item will go higher as it gets to V.Short. Don't be the unknowing sucker who sells your super rare 'usable' for less than half of what its worth. 15k ce is an absolutely lousy price for this.

Not trying to be rude here. I just don't want anyone to get lucky enough to get a great and valuable item then unwittingly "give it away."
15kce is the going rate on xtra short and xtra tall height mods.
Outlier bids on the auction house aren't the way to gauge a price. Because I bought a tails tails on the ah for 2kcr (I did, just last week) doesn't mean that they're all suddenly worth 2kcr
Already got the height mod for 15k Ce oh and the seller said he couldnt find anyone buying these for 15k ce best offer he was getting was about 12k to 13k ce. Enjoy trying to spread your lies that an extra short height mod is really worth 1.75mil when you probably are bidding on your own item. Oh and check the last 2 threads of people selling extra short height mods 12k to 15k ce is max offers.
Anyways my friend will be very happy she gets to be TINY now!!
wasn't mine. congrats for your soon to be tiny friend.
I allow that stuff sells for more in AH than they do (or should) via trade chat and bazaar; that's part of the reward for taking the AH risk. But half price seems awfully low to me. And there was more than one person bidding on the one in AH, so its not like it was a random freak bid. Either way, as long as potential sellers go in with eyes wide open, that is all i care about. Hate to see anyone getting taken advantage of for lack of knowledge, if they choose to let themselves be taken advantage of after knowing the facts then that is their decision.
GL and HF to all.
--i don't open boxes, and i bought m y Xshort off AH for 250k the same day they came out :). I have no need of one, and will never have one to sell, so i have no dog in this fight, aside from looking out for newer players who might not know the value of items.
@someone's alt - It sounds to me that you don't know the value of items...15k CE for an extra short (or extra tall) is a very generous offer. I'd recommend not hijacking threads like this in the future, unless your information is actually correct. It would appear to me that you had some sort of ulterior motive.
Not to mention it took Nj all of 2 hours to find someone to sell him for 15k CE, kind of speaks volumes about his offer.
my info was correct. there WAS one that sold in the AH for over 1.72m simultaneously as his offer was up--that had multiple people bidding on it, as the bis escalated nearing the end.
One sold for over 1.72m handsomely, and the other bought for 15k ce. Regardless of your thoughts on the matter, the mathematical facts are we saw a discrepancy of over 600k crowns (more depending on what the AH ended at); so my information was "actually correct." I wasn't trying to hijack the thread, i was disseminating information. (though a thread hijack did occur, and i ended up being part of that, as did you, as did troupe--group effort).
And my motive wasn't ulterior, it was exactly as stated: To let perspective sellers know that the value of the item is potentially greater than what was being offered. It appeared by all reasonable standards that this was a paltry offer, at first blush. (see above reasoning and screenshot). It is, however, possible that two or three stubborn bidders got into a bidding war on the AH extra short.
it neither has a green bid or a red outbid. i wasn't bidding on it.
lol ofc that's who it is >.<
*should have known better*
Your offer for the Crests is pretty lousy. I'd pay more than that.
Those are bad offers. It took me 5 minutes to find a buyer on Wings Of Fury for 24k CE. "Personal use" doesn't much justify offering so low, but well, the richer you are, the less you pay.
There's plenty buyers out there who will make more fit offers. No offence, simple facts.
i was logged into a crafting alt. I don't much care which i post with. (i also have crafting alts craftablyme, crafterisme, among others. I could care less who i'm logged in with when i post.)
I removed my pic because....let me rephrase this as to not insult anyone. ...
I removed the pic because i was coming in here to stop newer players from underselling their goods for lack of knowledge. After a long break from the game, i momentarily forgot how acerbic the members, particularly the well-established members, of this board can be. I was annoyed by everyone rushing in to erroneously try to correct my position, when my position was not wrong. So I withdrew my 'help,' the picture, to let folks muddle through this merchanting minefield on their own.

so there ya go archknight. the picture clearly showed a v.short modifier @ 1.72m with time limit short to go (and it went higher @ very short time left). A thread of someone offering 1.9m. and a thread of someone selling it for 21k ce and 2 eyes of fury. All within the last 2 days. So 15k ce can be assumed to be a bit low given the current rate these are going at. I don't come on here and throw out fake prices to try and cast false dispersions on anyone or their business. But I'm one of the few "elite" if you will who is trying to look out for "the little guy."
I give free price checks, I always tell someone when i am buying something for resell, i tell them what i plan to resell it for and advise them they too can get that price if they are patient. I give away more stuff than i buy at this point, almost entirely to new players, but also some very well established knights would vouch for me. I've given away rare aura's and rose regalia to close friends and passing acquaintances alike. [but never to people who ask for them]. AND, i try to apprise people who might not know what is or is not a good deal, all things being equal.
If you are trying to make max value off a v.short, this is not a good deal. If you are trying to get CE as quick as you can from a v.short, then this is not a bad deal. But don't you presume to come in here and declare that i'm some sort of malcontent full of slander. I don't post speaking out of my ###. I know what i'm talking about, or i'd not be talking about it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, i'll kindly remove myself from superfluous interaction with the 'community,' as i am reminded how little i enjoy it.
P.S. I don't dislike you Arch. In fact, i've watched from when you first came onto the forums and while i don't always agree with you i think you usually handle yourself with dignity and class. You are not a toxic member of the community, and i see you trying to help out in your own way with your price checking thread. But your coming in here and accusing me and taking sides on an issue without doing your due diligence before making your opinion....can't agree with that. Don't assume things are how they appear on first blush. I'm all for thin-slicing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-slicing) but you should suspend that opinion, investigate the issue, and then evaluate.
--and if you think i'm that nefarious, go get a v.short modifier, i'll gladly give you 15k ce for it, and then i'll sell it for 20k+.
cheers.

After reading your comment and your true intention I feel ashamed and disgusted at myself. I only reacted in that way, as everyone knows I always come down hard on people undercutting and overpricing. When Rating commented by posting "someone alt" I had it in my mind that he thought it was me posting as an alt. And I thought you were trying to mess me around. I have never seen this alt of yours on these forums and presumed you were trying to do what I do and make me look stupid in the process. When I saw the pic and your name on it I got even more mad at the fact I thought you were a good person and for some reason you were doing this? Then you removed it, after I posted, and it got me even more thinking you were trolling.
Oh how stupid I look now lol. I fully apologise to you. In fact you are 100% correct. Short Mods do not go as low as what Njthug is asking for, neither do any of the other stuff he wants. I don't expect to you to accept my apology, and I can understand why. But I made a mistake over a wild assumption, something that I never do. I will remove my comment above.
I would also appreciate it if you could help on my thread. Someone like you is always welcoming to have, and your advice will be more than welcome.
Again biggest Apologies.
Edit: I also looked at your pic again. You did not bid on it. I thought you had, so that's another mistake I made. Next time I am not posting on these threads at 3am plus after a 14 hours shift. Not good for me or anyone else.
Once you read this comment and post back (if you do) I'll remove this post as well. It disgust me to have to post every time trying to explain silly situations. But this time I admit I was in the wrong not you. You can also mail me in game to talk mate.
I have a crest of storms, not sure i'll be selling it. Just letting you know I might sell it.
A ghostly aura went for 3M a while ago. A month before that, it went for 250k cr.
Does this make it worth 3M? People CAN overpay, you know.
I realize that you are trying to help, but don't look at one offer, look at several, or have a general knowledge of prices, before you give advice.
It is pretty funny since Extra Short Mods do go for 12k to 17k ce, but if we want to use the basic logic of players who want-to-be-merchants, but will ultimately fail at doing so I guess we should go with this logic.
Twilight Aura ---- True value 4mil to 6mil crowns ( No guys remember the last 2 went for 3mil+)
Prismatic Glow-Eyes --- 3mil Crowns ( I saw a pair go for this much so it must be right)
Prismatic Com Unit --- 75k ce ( Last one went for this so that means all of them will)
Well if you do not understand outliers in a basic game you folks have a lot to learn about merchanting. One day when you become as good of a merchant as myself who doesnt need to post fake pictures of their alts bidding on an item to buy it out etc please let me know, or dont make silly price check topics where half the items listed arent even in the usual realm of a sellers.
Regardless back to my WTB Topic --- If you hate my prices you can easily go sell to someone else. As listed I am buying these items for myself personal use, but being a smart individual understanding how the market works (unlike some players in this game) I am certain I will be able to reach my goal to create some sexy looking outfits.
@uniquevariant --- All you are doing is trying to bump of the price of your own extra short mod oh I already bought one at this price and got a few others asking me to buy their xs mods at the same price advertised. I wouldnt be surprised if you made you used an alt to make a fake wtb thread on the forums. Honestly it is great to see how low players will go just to make a quick dollar.
Hold up son. "Silly price check threads"??? I run the biggest and only price checking thread on this forum. So I presume you mean mine.
You do realise you are insulting every member who helped and ask for help on my thread. I dont want to make a big deal of what you just said. I have spoken to you a few times and traded with you a number of times, you seem like a good guy. But dont let things get over your head.
I don't see how he's insulting every member who posted on there, I don't feel insulted :)
Thats good to know mate. But you are one of the guys who helped out the most. So.....
I call dibs. I'm that sexy friend.
