Hello, i’ve just crafted Bolt and im interested to sell it on the TP.
I know there 2 kind of fees;
1)5% listing fee
2)10% selling fee

I’d like to know if i sell bolt to a buyer (that already offered X amount of money)
if the fees will be 10% in total or 15%?

Logic says its 10 (cuz im not listing the item) but just wanna make sure =)

It is always 15% if it gets sold.

Technically, you aren’t selling directly to the other player. The game treats your offer as a listing that happens to already have a buyer.

If you aren’t in a rush, I would recommend looking up the trade history of bolt and talking to some market-savvy people about prices. If you are in a rush and want to avoid risking a long wait (or the annoyance of being undercut), my usual advice is to choose a price in midway between the highest buy and lowest sell offers — closer to the sell if you don’t mind some risk, closer to the buy if you do.

Heck, even just asking for 20% more than the highest buy offer is pretty good:

  • Your net gold ends up being slightly more than that highest buy offer.
  • If feels pretty good when you do better than typical sellers.

Good luck, viperziv (and congratulations on forging Bolt).

You will pay 5% of your listing price up front regardless. You will have 10% deducted from the coin you receive upon sale.

Over the past week I see bolt being sold for as little as 2800g and for as much as 3600g. In the last 24 hours I see sales at 3300 and 3350g. So yeah that 3100g isn’t that low of a bid.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

If you listed it for 3300-3400, it looks like it sold already and if so, congratulations
