Seriously... I'm getting sick of all the PMs I get whenever I try to sell an expensive item. rolleyes

Most recently, I tried to sell the Kitsune mask. Yes, I realize it's going to go down in price now that a simmilar item is out, but I've been considering selling it for a while now, so there's no reason not to go ahead with it, right?

I've gotten five PMs total about the item. The first three of which I ignored. They sounded kinda like this:

"Can I have your Kitsune mask, I really really want it. crying "
"Can I buy your Kitsune mask for at least 130k. I really want it."
"Can you lower the price of your Kitsune mask so I can afford it?"

Only most of that was in all lowercase chatspeak. rolleyes I refuse to speak like that, even when quoting...

The fourth one, I actually replied to. They were asking me why I was selling it so low, because that was bringing down the price of the others, and it was frustrating to them. I replied, explaining myself, most diplomatically, and I think they got the picture, and kinda apologized.

The last one told me to raise the price too, so they'll not drop in price.

Damnit people! Do you not understand economics? gonk Seriously. Supply and Demand. They're the BASIC concepts. The marketplace on Gaia is nearly perfect for keeping it balanced. PMing people to tell them to raise the price is no better (however much more trivial) than all the gas companies raising their prices, just because they CAN!

So now, I've decided I don't want to sell my mask anymore. Simply because people are pissing me off. stressed
