ML35 price is highly manipulated

This was on auction about 1h ago
Saw when it was added, was looking at auction history on it and 1min later it was already sold


Click to enlarge


You can easily see on the graph that it was also done yesterday, another sale at +38k
At that time there was 1 on auction for +25k BO that ended with no buyer

A warning to all and take a good look at the sellers name (no wonder anonymous took his BO in a thread we have around here)

I know some of you don't like me but I HATE market manipulators and I never do it, believe it or not

Peace,
Tzepu.

You're right, not many like you - but that's because you have prices for some of your items at 150% of their original market - I even remember you having either DOA's or ML35's (forgot which ones) marked at 5k over going rate at the time.
Personally I've not done business with you, so I can only speak on 2nd and 3rd hand information - so I could be off the mark on your character.


That being said, this form of market manipulation has been going on since March of last year, when the auction history was implemented. Intentional or not, resellers such as yourself have taken advantage of it and sold items which IMHO should not be worth what they are. Now it's just getting ludicrous, and so blatant it's sad... and even sadder that there are REAL buyers who see this market history, and buy these items - only to end up holding the short end of the stick later, when the market crashes to ~10k for an item they paid ~50k for.

One thing I can say. Tzepu is not a market manipulator, he does not rise the prices on stuff to get a gain out of it, all be it, he does try to sell stuff for inane prices if he can

Yes, he does resell stuff, and there is a BIG deference between reseller(market manipulator) and a guy who buys and sells stuff... One is honest, the other is a lier and greedy *ss that deserves to be shot!

Cool some thoughts

some thoughts:

there is a big difference between a market manipulator (dubious intentions), and a reseller.

A reseller offers his products at prices he chooses

A market manipulator artificially raises the 'market price' of an item, so that ppl think they do a good deal when paying 'under market'.




edit: lol, someone posted right before I did damn :d

It's in a shop, I didn't fake the auction price on it, if it doesn't sell I'll change the price
It has nothing to do with the thread
