Merchant Archive

Hello I run a VERY succesful Krayt merchant. I am the only player oon my server that does -- I have been acused MANY times of cornering the market -- making how weaponsmiths work now -- they dont sell krayt weapons as much oif at all instead make the players buy em.

does anyone else have this problem -- how do you get the boycotters to come back- (some are Jedi -- and i do work out trades/ side deals for em)

thanks

they probably just have someone else buy for them..dont sweat it

If someone accuses you of cornering that marked then tell him or her that you would love some competition to take some of the pressure of you, and they are welcome to get the skills needed and do what you are doing them self.
That will most likely make people shut up.

I don't know exactly what you should do, or the specifics of your situation, but I would recommend just playing it cool. Definitely do not fan the flames by attempting to explain yourself, however justified, by responding to posts in the forums etc. You have nothing to gain and a lot to lose by participating in what will devolve into a **edit**kicking contest and everyone hates you forum.

If this boycott is widespread and public, you should advertise your shop in the trade forum, and put in a 1-sentence note to the effect of you are aware of it, everyone is welcome at your shop, that you miss ur customers and hope they will return soon. DONT respond to flames.

I don't understand how someone could accuse someone else of cornering the market in this game.

Unless they have tons of money and buy out everyone else as soon as an item shows up and then sell it at a hugely inflated price.

Or undercutting everyone else with rediculously low prices,

Just because someone is the only vendor of a particular item or line in the area, that doesn't mean they ran everyone else out of business (unless they did).

And just because someone is successful, that doesn't mean they've done anything wrong (unless they have).

Perhaps I just don't understand the particulars of your situation.

ok i buy all krayt dropped items and resell em for 4-8% more

I say i buy all -- every auction i win in game i have lets say 7-8 players that hunt all day long for me -- and around 65% of all krayt items go through me on my server -- (rough estimate) that are sold to others -

WHY? becouse i pay top dollar for them I will beet anyone out in an auction for em -- if i want mind you at times i dont bid on auctions becouse i fear shell bidding.

I run a succesful buisness that is all. I spend roughly 20 million a day keeping my vendor stocked.

I am what i consider a True merchant.
