Unique Item Price
« Topic Start: April 14, 2012, 02:55:40 AM »
Whats the normal price for a unique item? The item has a +4 prestige with no abilities currently.

There is no "normal" price, the price is whatever you are willing to exchange it for. Consider what that gold could otherwise get you and decide if it is worth the effort. For example 50 gold is really nothing for a noble, can barely recruit a small unit but for an adventurer think of all the equipment and massages you could buy.

Also can depend on the name, and target audience. The Foolish Girdle of Fail probably isn't worth a lot to anyone. The Brilliant Sabre of War is probably worth much more. Likewise, the Helm of Perdan would be worth more to the duke or ruler of Perdan than to some no-name knight of Kazan.

I've bought uniques ranging from 30 gold 0 recommendation to 400 gold 1 recommendation.  And it doesn't just increase by prestige, but also demand for uniques and the skill of the advie in advertising his unique.
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

I would love to buy that for Sundar.

I would pay twice what this man is offering! Don't let him scam you!

Depends. Luis wouldn't want to be caught dead with anything Zuma-related.

Since you say the name matters, the name of the unique is Circlet of Warding at 79% condition.

Therefore there is no normal price because every item is unique. What you are asking is how much people would be willing to pay for it?

Yeah, I pretty much want to sell this for as much as I can without seeming like I am ripping them off. Also if I were to request a reccomendation I would assume I should sell it a little cheaper so that could be included in how much you think its worth.

You have no guarantee of a recommendation. Negotiate a high price, then take of 10-20 gold and kinda hint that it's for a recommendation.

Oh man.  I wouldn't have advertised that my character had this, at all.
