Stickwell · Post by **Stickwell** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 4:21 pm

So this is a story about how I bought a sos bow and pimped it and made major profti!!!!

OK so the seen was d/w near storage. Some dude was spamming "WTS lvl 24 SOS bow" so I pm'd him saying how much. he was like 2m. I was 2m? hmm. any +? blues? HE said no + but it had attack rating 20%. I was like I'll give you tops 1m. Im sorry if this offer offends you. He said no offense but I need 2m. So I said ok ttyl. He pm'd me back saying 1.5m I said I cannot give you gold I dont have. 1m is tops. HE said ok bye....10mins later he say ok 1.2m...I say I dont have that much. 1m or nothing.

HE SAID BYE BYE LOSER!. I was like wtf? but I didnt say anything. Then hour later he said ok 1m. I bought it for 1m and +3 it right away!. I spent a total of 1m because I had all the weapon elixirs in storage from grinding and finding. lol. So I did spend a lil more b/c I bought some lucky powder. ANYWAY!,... I went back to d/w and type " WTS lvl 23+3 SOS BOW, attack rating 20%" some guy pm's me saying 5m. I say that Im trying to get 9m. he said its only worth 7m. Im not stupid nub tho so I know its worth about 7-11m on oasis. More likely 7m. So I said where are you I will let you look at it. anyway he see's it and said 6.5m, I was man its gonna be 7m and thats as low as I can go cuz I dont wana lose money. lol ( I only spen 1m remeber! ) So he was liek 6.5m...I said nvm I will wait for 7m bye bye. have a good day. He said FINE 7m.

YAY!!!!!!!, 6m profit!!!! Im gonna go do it again!! YAAY!!!!!

Saying that is just stupid, i love my shiny 16 SOS snake spear+3 and i find it not to be a waste of money for 2 reasons
1: Its much better than norm spear
2: I prefer showing off my wealth while grinding IMO makes it easier seeing people lvl so slow with norm, makes me feel priveleged.

7M for that?
7M-10M for lvl32 (+3) full blues is the right market price.

Well everyone has those succes story's I think?
This week I bought a SoS lvl 66 female garment boots for 10M. Sold it the same day without doing anything to a friend 'cheap' for 30M

I still wonder how it is possible someone of that lvl does something like that. But getting some 'easy' gold is always fun.
