Buying trophies and a few rares

[platypus]

I am currently buying trophies (all point values, as many as you have to sell) and a few rares that I still need for my rare museum. Rares I need are:

Large vase
Arrows (the group of arrows)
Bushel
Sandstone/Marble table pieces

edit: got a few of the items over the past day
Scattered hay - was generously given to me by Blackfoot
backwards backpack and dark globe - sold to me by fwerp
Full jars (ONLY the group of 2 jars) - found for me by Lazarith
Broken chair and shackles - traded to me by Shasta McNasty - thank you everybody

To view the almost-complete Museum of the platypus, travel directly north from the ACEopolis stablemaster/war keep about 2 screens. If you are unfamiliar with the location of ACEopolis, travel north of Trinsic along the shoreline until you see a PvP arena. Runes will be given out and a thread will be made once the design of the museum is complete and all spawning rares are acquired.

If you have any of these items for sale or know someone selling them/a vendor with them, please PM me on IRC (platypus) or send me a message on here. I'm trying to make the most extensive rare museum on the shard and haven't had any luck finding these. I know the spawns, but I'd rather give a newer player the chance to make some gold than camp the spawns myself for days.

Thanks!

bump -- no one has any of this for sale, even with all the rare spawns public? I'm willing to pay a lot for all these rares since they're the only ones I still need for the museum.

I'm also willing to trade a few mega rares (obsolete quest items that don't spawn anymore, etc.) for these.

The rare spawns going public made it so rares will probably never be sold at a reasonable price ever again.

Paying 30-60k for each rare doesn't seem very reasonable to me. Going public, if anything, will lower the price of some rares.

Increase supply, lower demand.

how did supply go up? more rares arent going to start spawning now. The people who used to sell them will be getting less of them. If anyhting supply is now lowered.

I will take a look for those for you, will contact in irc if i find

More people will be farming these "secretly" kept rares, so instead of a handful of people monopolizing the rares with ridiculous prices, it'll be over a wider spectrum of players looking for a quick buck.

"The people who used to sell them will be getting less of them."

Exactly. ^_^

Get this guy an Econ degree! Correct. As competition grows and more people have a given rare, the price will approach the opportunity cost to obtain the rare.

Simply put Blackfoot... if a 60k rare takes you more than 60k of effort to obtain, and you were doing the shard a favor by monopolizing it and selling it for "only" 60k, the price of it will actually go UP.

However, as most seem to suspect... the opportunity cost for obtaining a "60k" rare is in actuality far less than that. And so, as more people have such an item, it's price will naturally fall to whatever it really costs to obtain it. My read of your reactions to this whole situation makes me think you are of the belief that this is the case as well.

I may let go of my one of a kind half piece of marble table facing south for 5 mil.

[Sebben]

Hmm, I might let the other half of that table go for half that price!

I sold one of those "one of a kind" marble halves to BOT about a month ago. Apparently they get around

[BlackFoot]

i have an econ degree :p

your failing to realize this isnt the real world
the people now farming the rares arent selling them. Or have you not noticed that yet. The people who used to farm rares were selling them. gl

ill see what else i can find for ya. museum is lookin good.

[Faust]

Hmm, I might let the other half of that table go for half that price!

-Seb

Yeah, but my half is still the only half of it's kind and will still be 5 mil.

There are only four of them in existence that all face completely different directions.

[Sebben]

Meh, not really a problem. Can buy one just like it for 100 points. Way cheaper than 5 mil! In fact, I may just do that and finish my lab.

Those cannot be purchased through trophies.

Yes, they were on the list... but only by accident. Derrick has already stated this several months ago when the "unique" rares were spawned.

theres more than 4
