Its been a fun fun run, but I need to finally move on.

3 accounts, 2 enchanter wizards in their 50s, 3 empaths around 25, a ranger, a bard around 25 , a warrior around 45, tons of gear, some very very very high high end, be an account takeover.

5000.00 is a buyout, or make bids, 3 self manas, you will be amazed....armors, buncha stuff, i don't have the time or energy to deal with a list, got questions, IM or email

Life is glorious, I got a new GF and an 11 year old son who adores me.

I took on a pit bull from a charity I am 2nd in command of, for dogs, helping out them.

I got a new job, back to what I am best at in background checks.

Its really all good, I am as happy as I been in a long time.

As I said, I don't have the time to inventory it all, can ask questions at gskhaladon on aim, i think you make out for sure...

$5k (or close) is a lot to ask when you're refusing to list out what's being bought. Just sayin'.

what he is selling is well worth the cost item wise, I more or less know the list, and I'd trust Paul with my life in a pinch if I had to.

While I have no doubt he's trustworthy and all that. For those that don't know him, $5k is rather a lot to offer rather blindly.

Perhaps maybe just a top 10 list type of thing?

Donquix
02-16-2014, 11:03 PM
I tend to agree that asking for 5k for something is enough justification to find the time to make an inventory, but that said I can also I have no doubt that 1) paul is trustworthy and 2) it's worth that much

and i don't even know what the fuck he has still. i just know it's enough :D

GS4Faulkil
02-16-2014, 11:07 PM
I'm in the same boat. I could float a bid but I don't bother to track who has what and have no idea what I would be bidding on.

Best of luck to you in life. A bit more info on what you are offering might broaden the list of potential bidders a bit. For my part, I'm not remotely interested in the characters so any bid I would make would be 100% for the items.

Are you buying? Do you even play the game? Just love to see yourself talk?

Seems it's most likely the last one.

Anyone with 5k to spend on this game, and willing to, likely knows what Paul has.

I take it you get the list if you are interested. If you don't have 5k sitting around, you are not interested anyway, so whats the point it making a long ass list of things you won't get.

Guess I should have just followed what he said in the post and sent him a PM.

I didn't realize asking him to just do a quick top 10 list was the equivalent of a "long ass list."

Put me in the category of yes I do have 5k to spend on this game if I wanted to, but no I do not know him. I may know his characters or have run into them, but as far as his PC persona I don't know him.

While I do not recognize the PC name, I am nearly certain I know who Paul is in the game, and am sorry to see him leave. He is definitely trustworthy.

While I have the 5K available, I do not have the time and motivation to sort through what is likely a small mountain of great items. But I will be on the lookout for the auctions that will surely be coming.

Not being willing to take an hour to make a list of what somebody would be spending a huge chunk of change on is ridiculous. If he's going to make a list for people that make offers, then make the damned list and post it so people don't have to make an extra step. There's nothing bitchy about stating as much.

And I do play the game.

It's funny how people are getting bitchy at people asking what they would be dropping 5k on... I have some magic seeds I want to sell for 5k US dollars. I won't tell you what they do... But they do something special. I'm sure it would only take a few minutes to recall a few of those bad ass items so that people would know if it would be useful to them or not other then to speculate on what they are buying.

And yes I would never spend real life money on anything in this game. But obviously the ones that are attacking people aren't exactly buying either so what business do you have to throw stones here?

You don't always have to be a bitch Diethx.

Last I checked, posting an opinion on the PC forum (even in a merchant thread) does not require that I be in the market to purchase or even currently playing. Any asshole with an opinion can post it anywhere on the PC - you're living proof of that.

Not everyone with money keeps track of every item in the game, and as many others have already stated, it's a bit ridiculous to post up a sell-out for $5k buyout but refuse to take the hour to list out the big ticket items. My comment reflected 0% on Paul's trustworthiness and 100% on the ridiculousness of refusing to make a list of $5k worth of items.

Anyway, pretty sure you're the only one being a bitch in here.

Hey Paul,

Sad to see you go. I have a bard (based in EN) and I'm willing to travel anywhere to sing to your stuff. I am on leave from work (minor foot surgery) so I am 100% flexible. (well, not my plantar tendon) Anyway, you pick a time, I'm there.

The way I see this moving forward where it's the most profitable for you and painless for those involved:

1. Sing and create an inventory including information on what items are attuned (if any)
2. Assist and check some of the attuned items to ensure they would all retain the same properties if the personal owner changed
3. Create a "minimum bid / buyout" structure for the auction

I would be willing to type up the document for you as well. My previous auctions here show I don't totally suck at very basic formatting. Again, now is a good time for me.

Stay in touch,

-Drew

He pretty much already said he didn't want to do that, which is why he was pricing it at $5k instead of what its more likely worth.

I have a suggestion to anyone who has concerns about this auction. Don't make any bids. Someone will get a great deal and then you will have something else to whine about.

If you have been on this board for awhile, you know that no one here has any patience for any merchant who is less than trustworthy. Do you see anyone speaking against Paul here? No? Then shut up. And have a nice day.

Gelston
02-17-2014, 10:58 PM
I'd imagine anyone prepared to drop 5 grand into GS already knows Paul and the stuff he either has or had. I also imagine if you are prepared to make a serious offer he will show you some of the stuff he has.

Tenlaar

Actually, it's ridiculous to expect people to go back through old threads and try to figure out what items you used to have, and then find out if you still have them or have gotten new items since then (because nothing ever changes hands without a PC sales thread involved, amirite?), and then hope their calculations are correct when they offer money up on the most expensive mystery backpack sale ever.

I suspect that all of this speculation is unnecessary. For those serious bidders, I'm sure he will lay out at least a basic list of items via PM. No one is walking blindly into a 5 grand investment.

Gelston
02-18-2014, 01:21 AM

PS, Tenlaar approve of human/avian relationships.

Tenlaar
02-18-2014, 01:26 AM
The argument that he shouldn't bother posting a list of the items he is trying to sell because interested buyers will get a list is ridiculous and illogical. He is willing to make a list for interested buyers but not willing to make a list to get interested buyers?

PS, Tenlaar approves of all relationships equally because he is not a closed-minded bigot. GO GO POLITICAL THREAD ACTIVATE!

Palcron
02-18-2014, 01:28 AM
People willing to invest five thousand dollars are going to get in touch with him through some means other than public chat. I'm sure he will communicate with bidders through some means other than this public thread. Why should he care if we all know what he has? If nothing else, it prevents potential buyers from getting bombarded with offers for listed items.

My sincere hope is that people willing to invest five thousand dollars will expect the seller to put more effort into it than the buyer and not make them jump through extra hoops to even find out if they are interested in what is for sale.

There is no defense for basically posting a $5000 mystery backpack thread.

Palcron
02-18-2014, 01:34 AM
Although, this would make one of the most bad ass mystery backpack sales ever, if he chose to do so. That is probably the thing that I miss the most about an active amunet. You had the potential to score an awesome deal, or you could end up with a bag of kobold armor. Haha.

I have been playing GSIV for a long time. And while I have no intention of stopping for quite awhile, who knows what the future may bring.

If I ever do leave GSIV, well my lockers are crammed full of stuff I haven't checked on in years, in some cases well over a decade. If you think I would want to spend the time to get a bard to sing to all upteen zillion items, you need to change whatever you are drinking.

Sure I would post about my favorite 10-20 items and answer specific questions. Beyond that, you would get what you would get. No one would be forcing you to bid, so I really don't see the problem.

If you ever do leave GS, I would suggest that you take the time to find out what you actually have so that you can know what it is worth rather than just selling it and hoping that either you or the buyer don't end up getting kind of screwed in the deal. And I have a strong suspicion that it would be the buyer.

JackWhisper
02-18-2014, 02:42 AM
Not for nothing, but you just said lumped Paul into that for screwing someone when they buy his account.

Note: I do think he should post a list. Because I am one of those people with money to spend on GS that won't go the extra mile for something I have no CLUE is there. People saying 'you know what he has' or 'you know what you want, just ask him' that's crap. I want a hundred different things. I want a 5x DB. I can afford it. But I wouldn't even think to ask him about DB until I thought he HAD DB to sell. Just saying.

Tenlaar
02-18-2014, 03:29 AM
I don't have anything against anybody here. You are all just words on a screen. I said so that neither the buy or seller ends up getting screwed in the deal. Selling $8000 worth of stuff for $5000 is a seller getting screwed in the deal just as much as somebody paying $5000 for $3000 worth of stuff is.

The one who wants what somebody else has generally ends up getting the worst of a deal. That's just the nature of things, nothing personal against anybody.

Gelston
02-18-2014, 05:18 AM
It isn't a seller getting screwed if he is ready to go. Paul knows what his stuff is worth. He set the BO at 5g, which means you can offer less. If you aren't interested, don't bid. I know he has some good shit. If I still played I'd put in a bid.

Jeril
02-18-2014, 05:47 AM
This all does seem kind of silly. Doesn't want to take the time to list even some items of note here, but will do so how many times over for those who show a private interest? Of course I think some of it might be that Paul just wants some face time with old friends and this is one way to get it. Most of the interested parties are likely people who have known him for years but likely haven't talked to him too much lately with his busy life. If anyone was really interested in this they'd offer him the BO already anyway and we'd be done with this thread because as someone said his items are likely worth a good bit more then the 5k and he just wants a quick sell. Even if someone only wanted 1-2 items on his list as long as they had the time and the cash it would be well worth it to buy now instead of losing your chance or paying a higher price on the resell. I'd also suggest if anyone only wants something(s) but not to buy the whole thing they post their interest here so the potential buyer would have an idea of what you want and may at least consider selling instead of keeping it for themselves.

Stunseed
02-18-2014, 07:31 AM
Or the simple PM/IM/email could be a means of stopping the "I'll bid $50!!!one" when someone's MB is four times that? If he posts a list, people are not going to ask to buy the bulk deal, someone's going to ask him about an individual piece. Most "serious" players of the high-end goods know what the other one has, and with a buyout of 5k, it keep the tire-kickers and insulting offers to a minimum.

A novel idea, if you have an interest and the investment to back it up, get in touch with him. I've known Paul to work with people on things as well, which is why the 5 grand is a buyout.

Edited to add : Sorry to see you go champ, wish you best in your personal life.

Dude, that's at least 10 steps.

Considering you're talking 9 lockers, spread across a minimum of 8 characters... I think that's actually a whole lot more than just 10 steps.

Also, not all of his accounts may be premium, which means he might not have a manifest. On those that are premium, he might not have gotten a manifest on all of the characters. On those that are not premium, who knows where the one locker might be - also, what if there are things in other lockers and they need to be upgraded to premium just to see the other lockers?

Even just getting a list of the item names alone is a LOT of work when you're considering three different accounts.

Bottom line is what many people who know him already know - His stuff is very likely worth far more than 5k. He is looking for someone who is capable and willing to take it over quickly, but still get some of the value of this accounts. It's not brain surgery, stop being stupid and complaining - If you have any serious questions, perhaps you should try asking him.

Bottom line is if it sells without additional info then it sells. If not then a list is going to be needed. I'll be surprised if someone shells out that kind of money on a gamble of assumptions that certain items are in ones possession. If it comes down to having to list everything out he might even get more money than he is asking which would be well worth the effort.

This all does seem kind of silly. Doesn't want to take the time to list even some items of note here, but will do so how many times over for those who show a private interest? Of course I think some of it might be that Paul just wants some face time with old friends and this is one way to get it. Most of the interested parties are likely people who have known him for years but likely haven't talked to him too much lately with his busy life. If anyone was really interested in this they'd offer him the BO already anyway and we'd be done with this thread because as someone said his items are likely worth a good bit more then the 5k and he just wants a quick sell. Even if someone only wanted 1-2 items on his list as long as they had the time and the cash it would be well worth it to buy now instead of losing your chance or paying a higher price on the resell. I'd also suggest if anyone only wants something(s) but not to buy the whole thing they post their interest here so the potential buyer would have an idea of what you want and may at least consider selling instead of keeping it for themselves.

I talk to hundreds of GS people daily, weekly, monthly, I never abandoned ship or my friends. Never will either. :)

This is how I took his post. It doesn't seem like he's too worried about selling his accounts for $5,000.00, if he was, he would probably invest some time into it. You probably aren't going to hurt his feelings too much if you don't bid.

It's fun reading this thread. But I actually agree with the whole concept of asking for $5k without giving much to go on. There's no question of trust. It's a question of "What am I buying that worth that much?". In all honesty, it doesn't that much effort to go to at least one town's locker and do a locker manifest <town> and copy / past the contents here to at least give a better hint of what people are buying. But that's just my $.02

Otherwise, good luck and god bless.
