Hello... I am a noob at merching
I need the best way to sell the following items:
Accessories (High Worth and Low Worth)
Costumes (High Worth and Low Worth)
Boss Token Gear
Unique Variant Gear
Mats
So, AH, Trade Chat, or Bazaar Forum Post?
Any feedback is appreciated
when selling high end items or anything good in general, always take offers first then after awhile set a b/o. its best to avoid AH due to the listing fees etc provided you have time to advertise. these day people like to 'price check' be careful of them, they are not always accurate
goodluck
Hmm.
- Never base values off Auction House. Numerous Items either Undersell or Oversell there. Rarely does anything go for at/around market.
- Avoid biased opinions when checking the value of items. Someone that really likes an item could easily over-value it while someone that dis-likes said item could easily under-value it.
- Be wary that the market is Always changing. Every Update, Promotion, Event, or Changes to the game will always impact the market somehow.
- Event/Promotional Items have there highest demand During their corresponding events. While these items would most likely inflate After their events end, primarily due to rarity, this also means the demand for them diminishes considerably as well. So even if it gains value after it's dis-continued, It'll also become harder to sell for most items.
- The Spiral knight's economy works like real economics as well. Supply & Demand. If there is more supply than demand, items get devalued and harder to sell. If there is more demand than supply, items gain value and become easier to sell.
A tip for present day:
Right now the amount of sellers In-Game is very much higher than the amount of buyers. So there are many items that tend to be sold under their market worth due to this. It's even worse to sell in Auction House; where the lack of bid wars is evident.

Keep in mind that Boss Token Gear is bound to you so it wont be tradeable unless you pay the unbinding fee. If it doesn't have a UV on it, then no one will want to buy it.
As far as accessories go, where are you getting the assumption that they're high value? Are you comparing it to the AH? Buying threads on this forum? Either way is a good indicator as to whether or not your items are good to sell. This is also a good place to check for prices:

With UV items: Do as said above and make a reasonable offer. You may also want to mention if there will be an unbinding fee.
With mats: almost no one buys mats but you can go ahead and try.
More tips
- Make the thread neat and organized
- Keep it updated
- Try to keep good tabs on it. People will not buy from a thread that appears abandoned.
