Hey guys I wanna ask for your suggestions.

When you're selling UBs via TP, how low do you usually go to sell? What factors do you take into consideration? TP lowest price? Does rarity play a part as well?

And there's reseller offers: How low do you go for them?

    I usually knock off around 40-50k from the lowest price... if the price is lower than what I want for it, I put the item in my sdb and wait :)
    I don't take reseller offers unless they're up to 25k under the price I list (for the cheap items)
    I put expensive items on the AH

    What about for HTS? Resellers usually ask for a few hundred k off HTS ... and I'm still in my first few millions, so I'm stingy when it comes to hundreds of k :D

    HTS are simply hard to sell. I've taken 2 months to sell a plushie, and at 2/3 price even, but since it's a collector I let.

    If you're trying to save that few 100ks, then I suggest you wait. However, even collectors would slash for bargains, so keep expectations down.
    TP price, rarity and date of release would always be taken into consideration. Newer items would sell at higher prices but they deflate in no time, so I'll accept when the price is reasonable.
    I always take TP lowest, unless the seller is offering reseller prices. Also, high rarity items like plushies and clothes are extremely HTS, from personal experience.

    Resellers: Basically I sell out to nice people, and people who aren't being a noob on the trading post. (E.g. offering 10k when the item's worth 300k, then acting noobish when I reject their offer)

    So how does rarity relate to the price?

    It's a statement expressing the difficulty. :)

    R99 are usually the most expensive items. I wouldn't underprice it too much because surely there'd be a collector. Morphing potions do not work the same, because some R99 are less sought. Speaking about morphing potions, I would price them according to how much demand the pet is instead of the rarity.

    As for other items, usually, R99 are most expensive, followed by R98, then R97 and so on...

    Depends really how long I left that item on the TP, if i've been trying to sell it for a 3-4 weeks unsuccessfully I'll even consider selling it cheaper, maybe cut 100k-150k off if it's 600k-800k.
    Anything above 800k isn't worth the TP for me, just make a board in the trading section and advertise your auction if you're impatient... sooner or later someone will come

    If I still don't get any offers on my cheaper trades after a month, then I exchange them for ETS, I just over offer on baby pbs
