BUYING TIPS
►Topic choice
so it's obviously something that you want and have items to obtain them. Having a topic named "Trading for" or "Buying" is obvious and unoriginal. Try to list a few of the major items within the topic to grab peoples attention. Be creative.
►List your current items
You might want just one item or a hundred items, it's important to categorize your list so that people can clearly read what you have. Using a different line for each item will help people reading and make it more tempting for people to sell their items to you. Bold the headings and use colours such as yellow or white to make them stand out. If you've got any extra information about the item, it would pay for them include it when you list it. Make it stand out.
Example:
Looking for rare weapon – prefer Devastator or KlonessAxe
►Offering
500 BP
MA 21% Master Hose (W)
PA21% Tower
►What you got
Be sure that you include what it is you're willing to trade. Be aware that not everyone with the items you're wanting will want to trade them. Be generic, instead of saying "Laz Ring" say "mage ring". People might offer you something you weren't expecting.
Creating a list of what you want will also prevent people from posting within the topic asking "what do you want?". Which we all hate.
►Contact
Leave your character name so that people can whisper you in game to get the wheels turning.
