I had a corner. it was a nice corner.
i was standing out there shaking my ass... assets for 350 gold a pop, and usually, they come back for seconds.
How did it feel to log on daily to receive 700 gold in the mail? pretty frickin awesome.
Until someone else came by to work the kitty corner from where i was. it was a little more ghetto where she was though. the customers were a lot cheaper, often vagrants of the server. you know, the ones who sees valuable merchandise and want to pay pennies for because they cant afford or arent willing to pay full price. the ones who will see a man dying on the street and try to search them for their wallet. the one who takes note if you locked your doors or not. those guys. they didnt want to pay the premium for my goods anymore when they can get a similar item across the street. and that whore. that chick selling herself for pennies on the dollar, she's ugly. she's got pimples. and warts. and body odor. yea, although we sell the same thing, i assure you, my goods are far superior than hers.
but she's standing at the corner selling her stuff for 100 gold each. And im sure they come back for seconds. with the money they're saving from not buying from me, they may come back for thirds and fourths.
i, on the other hand, am having zero business. i am trying to wait it out to see if she may actually leave that corner. with all the business she gets, im sure she'll be all out of resources soon. besides, the market caters only to a certain few who enjoy the types of service we provide.
i am certainly not going to drop my prices to her level. i have standards you know. im not going to sell out. win more customers while doing more work? i guess that's a goal. but my goal is to make as much money by doing as little work as possible.
What is she selling? Scroll of Enchant Weapon - Agility.
What else is she selling? Scroll of Enchant Weapon - Fiery.
So i jumped to new customers. i tried to change a bit so that i can actually attract other passerbys. but these people who pass by arent into what i have to offer. they'll gladly go to the whore across the street. my superior items are just collecting dust now, not even worth the effort to sell.
Now i am selling Scroll of Enchant Weapon - Icy Chill.
none have sold. not one. life sucks. i hope that whore gets hit by a semi.
------------------------------------
in all actuality, the mats to make the agility scrolls cost about 70g. selling it for 100g is still profit. i just dont like seeing what could have been 200g profit turn into 30g profit. its dumb. but im not a goblin. i dont want to control the market. i just wanna sell my stuff for a fair profit.
the mats to make the fiery scrolls cost about 20g. they're being sold for 50g now. i was selling them for 100g and they were selling.
