Best time to sell weapons?

Sat Sep 10, 2005 7:06 am

I have a honey potion I want to sell, and I was wondering when it would be the best time to sell it? When is the price the highest? Is it right now, when the war is announced but hasn't started yet, or should I wait until it starts, or until the war has been going on for a while?

(note that this isn't an advertisement to sell my HP, just a question in general)

wait till the war starts, like 2 days after the war starts

I find the rush right before the war most profitable. If the war sucks, there will be less demand. Even if there is a big rush coming into a great war, I would still put it in the trading psot now and see what offers you may gleen.

But BD weapons haven't inflated THAT much yet. Wouldn't it be better to atleast wait for another plot part release?

But what if the next plot part release also releases the war?

I have a feeling that the fifth plot will bring with it the war. As people need to start solving the tablets to awake Qasala. Also, the awakening of Qasala and that will atleast have a Plot Part of it's own. And the fifth one will probably be the Desert Scarabs warning Sakhment about the impending attack :)

Currently, there's just talk of a war, wait until there's actual war stuff on the site, such as opponent images being found and such before you even think of selling. Once warrish stuff starts happening, the prices will rise faster.

Exactly. It is all the talk but no proof time. Thounsands of people are all assuming that this plot would lead to a war but it may not. TNT may just pull a surprise and end up solving puzzles instead of fighting once more. Therefore, you wouldn't know they have up their sleeves. :P

Anyway, it is best to put it up in your trades and see what you get. It wouldn't hurt to advertise it too. If a good deal comes along you may accept it or just wait.

Remmeber, you are at NO DISADVANTAGE when u put it in your trades. You are instead adding more openings for chances to yourself. Don't be afraid. ;)

Btw, How much are u looking for? I got 2 already but i may want to get another one..

Well, TNT has said there would be puzzles (there certainly have been!) and fighting for this plot, though we'll all be on the same side (as we were in the Battle for Meridell).

Hehe well if there happens to be no war at all the prices will drop hard I guess so I should sell before that. But indeed TNT said there would be a war.
I can put it up in trades, but there's already so many of em in trades that it's not much use I guess. Current prices are 800 - 900k, I was hoping it might raise to a million (imagine that, when I bought it it was 435k, and that wasn't even a really good deal then)

Wow 800k-900k ?! That's high! I got my first one for barely 300k and my 2nd was due to hardwork on Illusen Faerie Quest. Hehe. 1 Million.... May happen. You never know
