I thought that you sell on market to make profit, not to pay taxes. But maybe I was wrong. |
| I'm new to all this buying and selling, but could it be that he priced the item wrong, and thus bought them all back? |
| as i understood, he just wanted to sell his rings fast, but he had set too high price, so he had bought his own lots, because after this buying/selling he actually sold them 5k gold per ring (rather low price). |

3.11. Any transfers, (including those through the market or through a third party), combats (including those with other players involved) and "Two Towers" games between multiple characters of one person are prohibited. Such line should clearly state who is the main character, and who is the extra one. Additional characters who aren't signed will be blocked without any warning!
He seems to have just bought an item from his own lot and incurred the tax because he felt he priced them too high I guess. (as Jedi-Knight said) |
I happened during a bid war with many players (and most likely multis also) involved. When you want to sell the stuff you must be one gold cheaper than the others. But you have only three market slots so what do you do when you are outbid and all three slots are used?
Either you wait or... you pay tax not to let the other to sell before you do ;)
It's a bit like selling no matter what. Costly but interesting market tactics. |
| Yes, but is being doubly taxed really profitable? |
| the tax is 1%, that isn't much compared to the amount of profit you can make |
| Controlling the market is a real skill. You might post something and have someone post it 10 gold cheaper a minute later. In order to sell it, you might re-buy to resell, yet another 10 gold cheaper than that person. As rings of Inspiration can be sold for mega profit, the tax doesn't make a different. |
| he makes nice profit normally less that 5000... somebodys go money to do this |
