Jymotion Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 the warning is only visible if you navigate to the classifieds section. people that might not know the rules may add someone from the front page without seeing the warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Killjoy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Have "Willing to negotiate" as a checkbox, and some visual representation of it on the classifieds/main page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRyders Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yes please although I doubt it will help. Those people either can't read or are ignorant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Pitt Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Have "Willing to negotiate" as a checkbox, and some visual representation of it on the classifieds/main page. I like this idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jymotion Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 no please. some people are willing to negotiate and I like to add to negotiate. in which case the message should be removed from the classifieds page. it should just be consistent. Though, I love the current simplicity of the classifieds :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Once and Future King Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Have "Willing to negotiate" as a checkbox, and some visual representation of it on the classifieds/main page. While this does make some sense, I don't understand why anyone would use it. If I put up a listing and say I am willing to negotiate then I am telling everyone they would be stupid to offer me my asking price. I don't understand anyone wouldn't just list at the price they are willing to sell at and leave it at that. That is what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I do. that's what I like about the classifieds and what I use them for. If I want offers, I use outpost where people can comment instead of adding me.

Chief D Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Have "Willing to negotiate" as a checkbox, and some visual representation of it on the classifieds/main page. When I read this, it seemed like a good idea. Then I read the following posts and I decided it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, a willing to negotiate tag would more indicate that the person is willing to trade for items rather than just selling it for Ref/Keys/Buds.

Jymotion Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 because people read notes and it's really hard to politely decline people who add and want to haggle. #problemsnotproblems What an odd overreaction. Obviously it isn't difficult to talk to people. That was not the basis of my suggestion. It isn't "really hard" to add one line of already written text either. The issue is that the classifieds shouldn't be used for haggling. The main page for classifieds has a header with one rule, but that one rule is not present for the front page classifieds. People who only use the front page classifieds have no way of knowing the purpose of them. I use the classifieds when I have a set price and don't want to have to politely decline three people offering me summer claim tickets. The classifieds are for passive trading.

BQE Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Couldn't you say that'd kind of amibiguous though? For example, 4 ref in items or 4 ref pure? If I add you to offer a 4 ref item, does that mean I added because I agreed with the price. Either way, I stand by my original argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
