You did not meet his price. What have you lost? What is your complaint?

My messages are from different days. I managed to collect the amount he asked for, but I could not tell her.
I complain for lack of response. she placed me on the ignored list. What type of seller is it if it does not respond to the customer?
And it's not the first. I have contacted three sellers with the same lack of dialogue

Lets try an idea i had.

Here (code selling news ) could be the place where code sellers (who are in forum too) could write about their selling and the actual prices.


Evey seller can edit his own post everytime so the current status (and prices if he would write them here too) could/should be read here. 
If someone has no codes (jet) to sell he could write it here too. 
This would make it easier to see who actually sells codes and (if messages are enabled) could be contacted by the buyers.

I started selling premiums last week, and I try to price mine anywhere from 100k-300k less than other sellers. Problem is, when I want to help others with a premium at a low price, sellers start to buy them from me and sell them at a higher price. I may increase my prices by 5 or 10k, but thats about it. Once it starts to hit or exceed 100k I have to stop and think twice. Look I like making money, but I am not trying to put other people's wallet through the shredder just because I want to feel rich in a game. What doesn't help is the fact that the bank can only be used by premium members which makes it difficult to give the premium codes to non-premium members. I either have to request they have a premium friend transfer the money to me, or I take a risk and give them the code first then maybe get the money. 

No matter what though, people are going to charge ridiculous prices for an X-month premium. They will try and find the sellers that set their prices lower and purchase their premiums with very little risk to themselves. If the codes work, great, if not, they don't care because it's not their problem. As long as they get their money that is really all that matters. I think they fail to understand how economics works, and don't understand the "law of diminishing returns" at all. I refuse to sell my premiums at a stupid price, because everyone's financial situation does determine how much they can enjoy this game.

These prices seem to be too damn high... Just asked someone and she said 320k for a 3 months prem. I can get it cheaper by actually buying it... Do these people understand the simple things of trading stuff?

Yeah that does not surprise me at all. I get harassed by other sellers to increase my prices but I refuse. 320k is very stupid, I have no idea why anyone would purchase anything in this game that is 320k. Even apartments aren't that expensive and you get to keep it. If you need a premium just come find me or send me a PM.

THIS..THIS RIGHT HERE..Is why i stoped selling codes...Id hear the struggles of players "oh..please..150k+ for a premium code"
I say'd fuck that shit and started selling codes for ~60k cus i had alot of free cash irl cus of my job and wanted to help support the game i loved...

BUT it got to the point where most of my customers were other sellers who were going to upcharge players after buying my cheap codes...I sold ~35 codes before i stopped..and even now i rarely sell codes anymore
