Million Plat Listings

[LordMond63]

I'm curious.....what items can you think of that sell "regularly" (I'll leave it to others to define the term) for a million or more platinum?

[Gkar]

Not much. At that point people generally want specific items in exchange, or other "currencies" like LDS or FRDS

[Therigar]

Nothing.

Most players that have a million plat don't need what you'd try to sell. Most things that would be worth millions are traded in barter as Gkar mentions.

You could sell those kinds of things for a million but people would feel they got a bargain since the barter value is much more than that.

As for what things, epic crafting mats/scrolls/etc. is about it -- and not all of them.

Edit: One thing that would be snapped up at a million would be silver threaded handwraps. Unless there are changes in the loot tables I'm expecting the going price for these to be whatever is max on the AH (and higher if posted in the forum marketplace).

[Crazyfruit]

The most common on the AH would likely be the Cloak of Ice & Firestorm Greaves.

[Kadran]

DoD. If you can find someone selling it for plat. Easily over 1m.

[kernal42]

Things I have seen sell for > 1 mil pp on the Orien AH:

+4 cha tome
Pale Lavander Ioun Stone
+? Holy longbow of GEOB
Silver Threaded Handwraps (of PG or something, but who cares)

Spectral Gloves, Blood Stones, and FRDS are all listed for ~1Mpp, but I'm not sure if they're selling for that price.

You can probably get a million for a red scale at any given time of the day. Just ask in the standard market trade channel.. I sold lots there. Being there easily enough exchanable for plat, the fact ppl generally want reds for high end stuff isn't too much of an issue.. Maybe different on orien but i doubt it.

The main reason, is the 4 mil plat cap makes trading massive amounts of plat difficult.
Like say a epic mari chain scroll.. 30 reds.. so 30mil plat. but you can only trade 2mil at a time, so you'd be wasting a lot of time swapping chars to fill someone account to get it.

Personally...

Id give 10million for:
+5 holy burst silver geob greataxe

1million for:
red crystal of devils ruin

Why when you'll be able to craft one once the U9 crafting system is complete?

Some shard recipes aren't there yet. But when finished the crafting system looks to be able to handle this.

Didn't I read somewhere that the minimum level on that item would be above 20...so even if you could craft it, nobody could use it?

It's impossible to craft, and always will be.

Max is +3. Since thats a ml20 item, even if they boost crafting lvls to 100 or higher. And actaully GEOB itself plain doesn't exist, youd have to settle on either lawful or chaotic.

There are plenty of scrolls that sell for more than 1M plat on the Orien AH. Case in point: Envenomed Cloak scroll has a max bid of 2.1M right now.

****, scrolls are cheap on your server :)

I agree that most trades for high end items are dealt with in barters for FRDS or LDS rather than platinum.
I saw that +4 CHA tome, which was a shame since it hit max bid almost immediately and I'm sure the seller could have gotten so much more trading outside the AH (and avoided the AH fee).

For a while LDS prices were in excess of 1mil buyout, which I hope nobody was buying. I would agree that The Blood Stones, and Spectral Gloves are not worth >1 million (I'd put them about 675-750k). I've seen a Vibrant Purple Ion stone (unsuppressed) hit the max bid of 2.1 mil. I've seen epic scrolls range from 400k to 2.1 million depending on the desirability of the item. Beholder Optic Nerves and the Eye of the Beholder I've seen And I've never seen a docent of defiance, a pair of Spiked Boots, or a ring of the Djinn on the AH, but I would put their value at above 1 mil.

This being said, if anyone has a vibrant purple ion stone or a docent of defiance they'd want to part with for a few million, hit me up. :D

Only item I've bought above the 1 million plat mark was a Cloak of Ice, and that was during the first appearance of the Crystal Cove ;). I believe the price was 1,5 mil.

Edit: I also remember putting up a Souleater staff for some ridiculous price, somewhere around 1,5 - 1,8 mil plat and someone bought it about a day later.

While some items like the DoD or silver threaded handwraps can easily sell for over a million plat on the ah, more often than not I've heard about people snagging items like these for absurdly low prices(6k - 100k or so). I would bet the people posting have no clue what they were actually posting, like the DoD is desirable because of its hidden effect, not its listed wimpy 3 x 20 resists.

Which is totally fine. The aim is to break DR so the weapon has to be either cold iron or silver anyway.

[yawumpus]

is that the fee to list an item is based on the (nominal) cost of the item and the price at the final sale. It has nothing to do with whatever the price stuck to the item is. If something is wildly priced at 1M plat, there is a good chance that is there as extra bank space for the next three days.

Nobody cares about the prices of things that don't sell; this thread is about things that do sell, are selling, or have sold for absurd prices.

Also, I don't understand why people would bother using the AH as bank space. I've also never heard of anyone who actually does that; just baseless speculation.

[porq]

people...using the AH as bank space.

-Kernal
I do. Not all that often, but I usually also let it sit for close to the 3 week limit in the return mail too. I have heard other people doing this as well. Pretty handy when youre adventuring, have an aversion to playing the space management game, a full bank, full shared bank, full inventory, and there's an auctioneer guy nearby :)

I believe you're spot on here.

In DDO, you really have no way to know what a given item actually sells for. You might see, say, a Blood Stone being offered on the AH for 1.1 million plat (or whatever) but only two people- the person doing the auction and the person buying it- will ever know for certain if it actually sold for that price.

I wish I could remember what game(s) had it, but I can recall being able to go to a fan site and being able to see the prices that an item had actually sold for on a given server. That was good and bad. Good, in that you had a more accurate range within which to price whatever it was you were selling. Bad in that it made it rather more difficult to get those bargains.

I stand corrected - multiple people do in fact do this!
