I disagree with the idea that the Coalition is trying to influence prices to be what they consider fair to the buyers and not looking at what sellers consider fair.
Fairness is subjective, though. If Gaming says she thinks 3mil is unfair, and 1mil is, she can do so. What she can't do is go to someone and tell them she sells too high, and she's not, hopefully.

Sellers are more than welcome to come in here, too. I don't see anywhere that Gaming said they're not. I'm a seller, when I can be, and I put in my input. So did SickSoul. You two haven't yet, though, so you're not really helping your point saying she's not asking for sellers' opinions if you don't offer yours.

I think the current prices are unfair. So? Ignore me if you don't agree and sell it for 3mil, no one's stopping you.

Edit for spelling.
I don't keep a list of set prices, as I said earlier. I think the current prices are unstable, but not necessarily unfair. Why? Because for a long time, people wanted Doni prices to be roughly 10k per shard. They are now selling at around that price. (Not including the obvious way too high or way too low.)

I think we've all reached an impasse in this.

As long as GamingGal doesn't break any rules, harass, or attempt to get people to go to her rather than others, I think that's it, isn't it? She isn't breaking the rules, and people can agree or disagree.

There's not much else to be said that I can see.

*pokes nose in*

Ok, ive been keeping an eye on this thread - mainly because I am curious about what people think a "reasonable" or "their price" on certain creatures. personally I'm not very comfortable with some of the creatures on this list currently as their prices very for too much based on time, because of this I have not yet put in a "price list".
And if GG (sorry to long to type full lol im lazy atm) wishes to work out all these prices through an excel worksheet finding the average and applying that in her shop I do not find a problem with that. If she was attempting to create this as a blanket pricing structure for the whole of the MD, I may have a problem with this, esp as things like quests drive up the prices of Stream creatures or creatures from the dark brotherhood. But as GG is not using it for everyone as a blanket this is how the prices should be in the MD this is not a problem for me.

Now while I can understand the MD mods not wanting to deal with people issues or whatever in the MD - I think that a pricing war is not going to happen, I doubt if GG and the coalition will demand everyone in the MD adhere to their prices. I also doubt that GG is truely going to influence the market - as you all have said you price to the market at the time, and disagree with that idea and will price how you feel is appropriate.

If this price list does give some new people an idea of what common things sell for - good. No one is being forced to adhere to this apart form whoever is in the coalition.

Yeah, sorry. What I meant was, luring costumers to her based on underhanded and slanderous tactics. "They're unfair, come to me! They're greedy, come to me!"

That's what I meant. I did say her advertising as cheaper is her business, however.

And, anyway, I'm done with the thread, at least for tonight. Good night, all.

Wow. Well, I'm tired of debating this, truly I am. And I feel if I continued I'd start repeating myself more and more.

So, without further ado, I want more lists :cool:

I consider myself to be both a buyer and a seller and this is what I'd charge or what I'm willing to pay at the moment. My prices do change due to demand and current prices in the MD, though, and are sometimes based on how much I like a particular creature.

All stream creatures are SB, including event creatures.
All shop creatures are 1st gen.
All QB creatures are 1st gen with qb prices in brackets.
GB creatures are breedable 1st gen with breedable GB prices in brackets.
All hybrids are lowest gen possible.
I gave a range for the older donation pets, because I think it's impossible to put a price to them.
All are considered to be unnamed.

I filled my list out based on what I want to pay as a buyer, as these are the prices that I look for when stalking through the MD.

I get that the general MD runs with the business model of 'buy low, sell high', and you can see it when you check a LTB thread for a fox offering 25k and a LTS thread wanting 50k. And I myself occasionally do this, as its human nature to want money. However, and this is my personal take on the matter, that what the real issue that the coalition is trying to address/fight against isn't so much insane prices to force upon the entire MD - but to be able to provide some sort of stable selling ground for people looking to purchase things that they know they can afford. I think that the use of the word 'fair' is perhaps not the right word to be using, but I can't think of any word(s) that might actually form a proper description of what they are trying to do.

They aren't doing the shop/guild to become rich, they are doing it so people can obtain creatures released before they joined at a rate they can afford - and they hope that other sellers will see this and perhaps do this as well.

I know I'm not wording what I want to say right, but hopefully I'm making some kind of sense. x_<
