Not really sure where to start chiming in on my opinion here. There are a lot of points being made.
On the over priced item topic, if some one wants to over price something then that is their prerogative. If some one wants to pay the price that they named then good for them, but the higher the price the less chance of them selling that item. If I find a wp and I need 10000 plat to buy new armor then I am going to try to sell that wp for as close to 10000 plat as I can get. I am not selling it to help anyone out. If I was going to help someone, I would just give it to them.Therefore, I am selling it to make plat to buy what I need. If some one buys my wp then both of us win. I know that I will never get 10000 plat for a wp but I am going to try to get as much out of it as I can, for as much as someone is willing to pay. If someone needs a wp and is not willing to pay what I want for it, then maybe someone else has it for less, OR they can look for one the old fashoned way. Why should I have to change my price if one person thinks that I have over priced it? Why should I have to change my price if a hand full of folks thinks it is over priced? Am I being greedy, because I am selling something at a high price to get something I need? (Greed. definition - excessive or rapacious desire, esp. for wealth or possessions.... Who decides what is excessive? and how is it decided what is excessive?) That brings me to my second point.
Valina's guild site. Bravo! That is a very good idea. it is always great to have choices in anything. I would rather have a problem in not being able to choose from many than to not have any choices at all. You are giving people a place to buy and sell with out the fear of things being over priced there. My question is, though: what happens when something is over priced there? Is it removed? If so, Who decides what is over priced? (I know that is more than *a* question) Please do not think that those questions are me saying that your forum is a bad idea, because it is not. It is your site and you (or who ever is running that particular thread) have the absolute right to make your own rules. Your forum gives us all another choice and I am all about choices. I can choose where to sell my items and where to buy my items. It is a win win/win for everyone.
Bottom line is that we all have choices. I can choose to sell items low or I can choose to sell them high. I can choose to sell them at the bazaar or I can choose to sell them at Valina's guild. You can choose to buy something that is over priced or you can choose not to buy that something..... The choice is yours
