- No
- That isnt
- Its one of my clients!
- He wanted to know the price of both the account and the individual characters.

- There are 4 remaining characters listed, I sold a gladiator warrior from mop and a glad war from cata this year. I have had erratic offers from 250 to 500. I do not know how to price these things, only that over the years I've found it easy to get 250-350 for each listing, depending on market, which is obviously dead the last couple months.

- Well I have a buyer thats cash ready. Im not sure what characters he wanted specifically off the account.
- I believe the Priest and the Monk
- Could you give me your asking for the whole account?
- If you were to sell it.
- Then also the Prideful glad Monk and the Shadow Priest.
- And also
- The Warrior with MoP CM

- I have never sold a full account and have no idea how to price it, most people who do, do not realize characters have value specific to buyers interest's. I sold a similar warrior a couple months ago for 350, I sold a mop glad shaman for 500, and multiple BFA glads for ~300. That would put the account at 950-1150 which is unlikely. And speaking to a middle man conflates buyer's interest with buyer's expectations, etc. I do not have clean answers like you seek, if I did I would simply sell to some vendor for X amount and let them deal with it, this is a hobby, if these sell cool, if it takes 6 months, cool, I'm not in a rush.

- I think the Warrior is the main interest for my buyer. With that being said I have been requested by the buyer to be his advocate and to reach out to you.
- My buyer has informed me what his intentions and wants are so I am acting on his behalf.
- I think $350 is a bit much for the warrior IMO but let me talk with the buyer a bit and see what hes thinking.

- This is where it's contrived, you should already know what the person's budget is and how much you are going to make for middlemanning, this is nothing like a typical interaction. I am busy irl, so I respect that you do this online for a fee, I'm sure you're trustworthy and decent at it. With all due respect, I am not going to spend a shitload of my time talking to a middleman whose main focus is to make money for negotiating sales of characters.
- The characters are there, they all exist, they would all require a transfer to a new cd-key. That is inherited cost. Plus you have a fee, more inherited cost. By the end of "negotiation" I get $225, or whatever the price is, I lose 85 on the transfer and you make $100. RNG number at the end there, but it's why middle manning is toxic to RMT imo.

- My fee hasn't even been discussed.
- Im not making a fee based on the price I get from you.
- He is asking me to negotiate the price.
- It not something I am going to take and upcharge.
- The buyer is going to pay me whats fair. I am acting as the buyer in this scenario
- Jimmy™, 2:22 PM
- The idea of middle manning is antithetical to the entire process, in my opinion. You are the only middle man I have ever even replied to in 10 years simply because you have been on the site forever.
- 2:23 PM
- Im not necessarily even being a middleman.
- Im being a consumer advocate
- And the consumer is going to pay me a fee they find fair completely unrelated to the sale of the account.
- The inherited costs you are talking about are already clearly understood.
- My fee has no effect on the efficacy of a legitimate and profitable offer for you.
- My negotiation for the price of the character is something I would do myself if I was buying it as well.
- If you don't want to negotiate on price then just stick a price on the character on the thread and don't take any price unless its that.
- Literally all I have asked from you is to give me your price.
- And when you did said that I think its a bit overpriced in my own opinion.
- My buyer agreed with me that at $350 for the Warrior and $950-1150 for the account he isn't interested.
- If you want to negotiate on price for a sale for the warrior let me know happy to find an amicable price. I do however think that if you don't post a price for the characters this is something you should expect.
- Jimmy™, 2:33 PM
- I don't really have enough spare time to have long conversations over $100 in regards to a game, I also think that, when considering a reputable seller who is spending $85 on the transfer, $265 is not extraordinary for a character with achievements that are sought after and will never exist again.
- There are plenty of offers on epic, similar to that warrior, except up to date where buyers are asking for $500+ because the character has "challenge modes, mage towers, and some shit from this xpac"
- 2:34 PM
- If you are including all of the cost of a new account into that offer than yes.
- I think thats a fair offer.
- Im sorry I misunderstood. I was speaking about the price of the character itself not including the new account game time and xfer.
- Let me convey that to the buyer and see what he thinks. We were going to counter with $250 for the character itself so it does line up.
- 2:45 PM
- Nevermind the buyer isn't interested anymore given the way the conversation has gone. Best of luck with the sale sorry we couldn't come to an agreement.
- Jimmy™, 2:48 PM
- Lol
- Enjoy
