That's really fucking shitty, especially considering who it is. I'm pretty sure that user is pretty wealthy. Not KS-level wealthy, but 2013-item buying wealthy.
"so just offer a price and it's yours! This is a lot easier than auctioning everything so don't be afraid to ask for an item~"
I don't think they really gave a damn, honestly. It seems pretty fair to me. Could they have offered more, sure, but the seller could have listed it for a price they wanted too. It just happens that the didn't really care and were open to anything. Be glad the seller even got more than 1t!
I guess when I read "name your price" I see "make an offer you can afford" and it bothers me when people read "name your price" amd see "take advantage of my kindness, because money!" Seeing someone I know is pretty FR wealthy offer 30kt on a 200kt item just doesn't sit right. Like 150kt wouod have been a sweet discount; I'd have side-eyed it a little but you do you. That offer was an insult. And they were greedy to boot coming back for seconds/thirds. If it was some newbie who wanted it to play dress-up and 30kt was all they could afford, sure. But I know that person could have afforded a better offer and decided to just scoop up the valuable shit from a kind seller instead.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. :/
I guess I'll just never understand the mentality that if you can take advantage you should. Then again, I suppose that's why anhbon921 is fr rich and I'm not. *shrug*
I feel like if the person doesn't care at all it's maybe not advantage. I've seen people have the mentality of their lowered price is like a gift of sorts.
First of all, I never said you should do it. I mean, you can if you want but it's not the nicest thing to do.
But, like I said, the seller was doing a NYP and they got an offer. Like the other non that replied to you said, they don't seem to be upset about it because they accepted it with no problem about it. Its NYP for a reason, just like PWYW...name YOUR price, fair or not. Don't advertise it like that if you still want a fair amount, without the chance of getting lowballed.
And yeah, the buyer could have offered more for the stuff. But what's done is done and the seller seemed fine with their offers. Does it suck that they didn't get offered more? Yup. But, since it's NYP, it's completely fair. I don't know how else to explain it.
Not saying it's right to lowball someone, but it's also not unncomon when it comes to PWYW and NYP. Just how it goes sometimes and some people do that when they just want stuff gone.
I didn't say I thought they were scamming or anything, like you say they could have just offered 1t and it still wouldn't have been "wrong." I just said that I thought it was quite rude to offer so low, and that I personally dislike seeing it happen. I don't really disagree with you about it being "fair", and I don't think the seller was upset, I just found it really distasteful. I'm sorry for being aggressive in my rant. There were several things about the situation that ticked me off, but I didn't mean to aim that annoyance at you. <3
