I am going to go ahead and move this to Help & Questions, as this forum is only for items that are not priced anywhere on the site. I think you are looking to determine if the listed price is a legitimate price, so for that we move to H&Q! :)

IMO the ones that are there aren't particularly selling. OTOH they may even exist there in shops only because of Major Drills has been dropping them for Anniversary Celebration, and won't be seen buyable in shops again.

So, how much of a hurry are you in, and how badly do you want the sP? If you don't mind waiting until this event is over you can see if people got up enough sP to buy any of the others if they did there's a steady demand at that price. My own practical experience is that selling anything over the average account value (11MsP) can go slowly, no matter what the item.

I'm not in a rush to sell. I've already been sitting on it for quite a while. I don't mind.

According to SubetaLodge, it doesn't do anything, it's just a toy.

In an item this rare that doesn't restock, I don't think 'it doesn't do anything' is relevant to price if you are patient. This is a Keith item and a pinata, two collectible categories in addition to 'stupid toy'.

I have the seventh largest shop on site and have been running it for the nearly eight years I've been here, so I know stuff like this will eventually sell.

Ah the humble brag. Brilliant.

You could always just chuck it in trades and look at offers. Wouldn't hurt to throw up a selling board, either. Congrats on getting the item!

Thank you, not everyone appreciates real style in hyperbolics. I'm from an area of the USofA where hype is a way of life, so I admit I'm cheating a bit.

Two of the larger shops belong to frozen owners and two of the other larger shops belong to the same person, so technically I'm really in fourth. :) I'm dreading whenever implements limits on shop size.

FWIW I know that when I go to the Advertising forums which is where we are allowed to put up selling boards, I'm looking for a bargain compared to what's available from shops or trades. Folks who advertise are folks who "want the sale" more than folks who just bung it in their shop.

When I go to the Wanted section of those forums, I also expect to pay more for the service of someone else going to the trouble of digging around for the item for me.

I guess I was really looking for a price range that would be reasonable to accept. Like 30mil+? Or what?

this post is about the OP. You yourself are a such a bitch that you planned that as an insult instead of a compliment, so perhaps you don't. But the OP needs to be able to determine the price of an item, and where people's opinions come from matters. I wanted her to understand the limits of 's opinion.

She may also very well wish to sell to folks like you, so she should listen to your critique of my pricing strategy to the degree that she... cares about that.

I personally attempt to sell high-priced stuff like this relatively quickly, because I have a set of items that I normally sell on a regular basis and items like this are not my main business. Those items are my guaranteed income. One-off items that fall into my lap, or which I haven't spent much effort in acquiring I would totally attempt to sell for 30M and I would definitely Advertise it. But if you don't have a steady large income like mine where on Saggitarius Weekend Quest weekends you can sometimes make 2MsP per hour, you may not be so eager as I would be to take less.

If I worked really hard for it (say I really wanted the Achievement, but the item not so much) I would wait longer to sell it and would attempt something like 40M. I also have a huge and extremely strong army of battlepets. Acquiring battle loot is not so hard, but it's also something that not very many people would be able to get. For those items that are say weapons, I personally would charge full Shop Search price or more. For those loot items that are wearables (so not such in demand from most battlers) I would sell for less.

What meant by that it will be difficult to find a seller, because it is a toy. With one in trades and six in shops, something tells me supply isn't the issue here. It's a lack of demand. So if you can get it to sell for even 50% off, that's something imo. I'd recommend setting up a thread in advertising and asking people to offer on it in trades. Good luck selling! :)

Please stay on topic and do not derail the thread. Namecalling is unacceptable and needs to stop.
