Desorceri, 12M Exp, Dark Elf Sorcerer

[Deso]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of selling Desorceri. I've been playing GS since March 1996 and haven't found myself logging in frequently for years.

Is it better to sell here or on GSIV Auction Place? Any good/bad experiences selling characters to share?

Anyone feel up for a price quote? AIM is Faendryl Fury if you have questions on items. He only has about 3.8M in silvers.

Thanks!

[Mogonis]

Heh. I just saw you at the Statue.

[Durgrimst]

Any premie points on the acct?

[Swami71]

I'd recommend just keeping him.

If you want to do a fire sale and be done for sure sell here with a MB of $100 or something low.

If you want to hold out I would recommend GSauctions.com start around $700.

[Danical]

I'd at least wait until MONKS!!!111 so there are more people in the game which might drive a higher demand for people just looking to pwn?

[CrystalTears]

Wow really? Desorceri being sold? :(

[Danical]

Wow really? Desorceri being sold? :(

Yeah, I think about selling Gnimble but quite frankly I don't think the monies I would get would offset the memories, etc.

[Dranock]

Hate to see you go.

[Ugotfaced]

Characters like this are the ones people hate to see in the lands after they sell.. They all get that 'That fucking guy' look.. lol

[Danical]

I'd like to reiterate what CT said about selling out.

Unless you're desperate for the money, just locker him and come back when you have the time and/or interest.

[Nilandia]

Nooooooo! Not Deso! You're not allowed to leave!

Gretchen

[Drew]

Would hate to see you go. Deso is Chiv's favorite slave.

[yesicj]

Yea, just freeze your account. You'll probably be glad you did. Plus I don't want to have to explain to some new guy why I'm throwing snowballs at his sorcerer.


EDIT: if you really want, do what I did and sell all but the stuff that means the most to you. I kept some fluff I've had forever, a cloak, a few scripted runestaves, and a million in silver.

[WRoss]

Yeah, sorry to hear about this. But glad I finally know who Yesicj's char is.

[Eliaku]

Yeah some people should not be sold.

[Asha]

You won't get what you deserve for him at this time. Freeze him.
If you insist on selling then yeah GSauctions and players corner go hand in hand as the best way to sell.

[Zanagodly]

Was this character not homosexual?

[crb]

Unfortunately sorcerers are pretty much the least valuable profession. How much did the last capped one sell for? $300? $250?

The BPs add at least like 8m though. So... another $50.

$225

[audioserf]

I remember Des. I echo the sentiment to keep him on ice, incase you ever get the spark back. Selling 14 years worth of character for $300 is just not worth it.

I'm glad I sold Bigmond back in 2000 before the bottom dropped out on sorcerers... heh.

[CrystalTears]

Please don't sell him. It's not for me personally because I don't play anymore, but I hate to see really good characters run by good people sold to complete morons. Let him fade away and don't sell him. I beg of you.

[Xaerve]

I beg of you too.

[Sweets]

Please don't sell him. It's not for me personally because I don't play anymore, but I hate to see really good characters run by good people sold to complete morons. Let him fade away and don't sell him. I beg of you.

This.

[Allereli]

Deso, don't sell. just don't

[Inspire]

Was this character not homosexual?

I thought all sorcerers were gay??

[Deso]

The main reason I'm considering selling is that I lost my previous job and got a new one but at a $6.5k pay cut. If it matters, he has a character portrait which was what $150? I've spent over $4000 on him as just a prime account so not PPs.

I may liquidate items if demand is big enough. I may hold on to him. I may just wait until Savants come out. Sorcery development just sucks and has for years.

I know it's awful to have a new "soul" running a character, but I just don't know of any decent and legal way of getting cash sans winning the lottery.

I've not made up my mind yet but I had to post his "resume" to get a better idea of what my options are as I'm not and never have been a merchant.

Thanks for the encouragement and jokes. ;]

Everything that cost anything back when you had that kind of stuff done falls under the category of "was." The cash prices for most stuff in Gemstone now is probably higher than you might think they ought to be, but certainly nowhere near where they were even a few years ago. The flipside to that is that you're almost certainly never going to see that kind of value again, and unless something really drastic happens to grow the playerbase, it's more likely to decrease than even remain static. You're really looking at like a $300 payday on your $4000 investment. Which sucks, but we're all in the same boat there if we ever decide to sell. You never played to cash out, anyway, and I suppose that's the best way to look at it.

Exactly!

I understand the need for money. Desparate times call for desparate measures. But please don't sell.

[Morph]

SELL SELL SELL

[Ryvicke]

At least sell any fun gear, it deserves to circulate and oftentimes is worth more than the character.
