The Qwijy Emporium

[Strakeln]

My guildies love it so much that I'm going to open up services to the public, starting this evening.

My mule bard, Qwijy, will be selling supplies in the necropolis. With the exception of rez scrolls, supplies are only sold in stacks of 100. I haven't figured out pricing yet, but I intend on putting my profit margin in the 10-15% range. For some of you with no haggle, this will end up being very close to the prices you would pay in the shop.

Supplies I intend to keep in stock:

- Cure Serious Potions
- Haste Potions
- Heal Scrolls
- Rez Scrolls
- Cure Serious Wands

Assuming this trial opening of the Qwijy Emporium goes well, I will add other items to the stock (based on requests), and may consider expanding services to include delivery or shipment.

The Qwijy Emporium will generally only be available during US primetime hours. He can be found at the bar in the Necropolis, in the busiest instance, with a LFG icon above his head. He looks forward to doing business with you.

Edit: whoops, meant to put this in the marketplace...

What is your bards haggle? buffed without IC

What is your bards haggle? buffed without IC

I have no idea. He wasn't built to be a hagglebot, he just ended up there... so it is definitely far from max'd. Someday maybe they'll introduce a skill respec...

Regardless, the idea here is not to save you money, it's to earn me money. I'll post the prices when I've decided 'em (still at work, I forget my cost on the items).

Why, thinking of setting up competition?

Nah, myself? I was thinking of setting up a flagpole with a Khyber flag on top, a Mexican flag below that and an American flag below that and seeing how long it would take for a free speech deabte to break out!

No, was just wondering if it would save me money... I have a bard who has a 52 haggle was wondering if yours was more so I could get the stuff off you cheaper :P

Definitely not. This bard was built for anything but haggle, but then he was unexpectedly forced into retirement. Long story. In fact, I send off all of my vendor trash to another "business" in Stormreach, Poke's "Trash-by-Mail" service.

My prices will be reasonable, and they will vary based on cost. Let me give an example (these are NOT my final prices, I'm guessing at some numbers here):

- Haste potions normally cost ~7000pp per stack (no haggle), I will sell them for ~7500pp per stack (7% markup over base)
- Rez scrolls normally cost ~60,000pp per stack (no haggle), I will sell them for ~63,000pp per stack (5% markup over base)

Again, please note that prices are not final. It will take a few days (weeks) of the shop being open before I can determine where the sweet spot on the price-vs-demand curve is. I'm not certain this will work, hence announcing it as a trial... I know my guildies love the service, but they often get the scrolls for free... so who wouldn't. Kinda hard to judge the demand now that we can all buy stacks of 100 - is it worth 500pp to not have to port multiple times and buy it yourself? Some would be appalled at the thought, others will think of it as genius.

tmdag4 - oh god no please don't put that flagpole up!!!!!

Rez scrolls normally cost ~60,000pp per stack (no haggle), I will sell them for ~63,000pp per stack (5% markup over base)

the actual list is 61,250 pp for 100 so for someone without the rep quest and a 0 haggle that would be 73,500pp. a normal cleric with a 70,420 so its a significant savings for them. (btw, my bard gets them for around 51,800 plat.)

Will look for you just to give you a friendly nudge.

Have you determined any prices?

k...
I'm impressed your price on 100 heal scrolls is less than it costs my cleric at the house j store...

[Mistey]

I've been a faithful customer for a few days now. Most of your prices are cheaper than my cleric can get them (don't have enough skill points to waste in haggle).

And thanks for carrying lesser restoration and restoration supplies, I know I requested that at least once.

See, Turbine, THIS is how you handle feedback from your customers. You listen, you decide on an optimal solution given all constraints, then YOU RESPOND.

Hey Mistey, aside from Rez scrolls, everything should be priced cheaper than you can buy them for... in fact, everything should be priced lower than *I* can get them for (crappy 31 haggle). Need to clear out my current stock (about 150) of rez scrolls, then I'll be able to sell them for cheaper than I can buy 'em as well. If there's something out of whack with my pricing (if there is something you can buy cheaper), let me know.

I'm working on expanding my inventory, but I need to make some bank/bag space 1st. I currently have all of Qwijy's items in 2 bags, the other three bags are filled with supplies. Once I free up some more space, I'll add mass restoration scrolls, prot fire pots, and reconstruct scrolls.

This service is great!

[Aranticus]

heh, straklen, u might find yourself with a competitor soon. my L10 bard already has 38 haggle. i've yet to spec him for haggle and human vers :P
