    Hi,

    I'm back to game after several years and I want to know the worth of these items and probably sell them.
    Thank you.

    Heh, a lot. Like, a stupid amount of shards (I'm not sure if you could find anything equiv to barter, but maybe). Purely a seller's market - start absurdly high, and they will probably still sell in a heartbeat anyway and make you wish you'd asked for more.

    GL!

    as C-Dog said, they are marketable. I'd suggest around 100-125 shards apiece, if you were going to sell them. However, I'd also recommend blanking them (black powder) via cannith crafting, and storing them on a mule, in case you ever want to use them via Cannith. They are really items that you won't necessarily see again.

    For the record, I've trying to sell one blank for 1000 AS for a couple of weeks and noone bit, so 1000 AS is probably too much

    I tried selling one for 150AS and it never sold for that price (after about 3 tries of 3-day auctions).

    I think it finally sold when I put a buy out of 100AS. That was maybe a year ago.

    You could try 2mil plat as well. A lot of folks consider plat to be worthless/useless and so might be willing to pay that much (which is also the max you can sell something for on AH).

    Oh and I am also on G-Land for the record. Other servers may have different pricing.

    Ordinary humans have inhibitions that serve as a buffer against what we know is bad behavior.
    However, some people, by blaming others for their own bad behavior, develop a thought pattern that allows them to override self-control in order to achieve a selfish end.

    Do NOT let this go for platinum! That's terrible advice. If you want platinum, sell it for AS, buy a +3 Tome with some part of those AS, and sell that for 2M plat - done.

    As to whether 1000 or 100 is right - I think that quitting at 3 tries is the problem, combined with dropping the price by 1/10. Patience is what is needed.

    You are trying to sell a Picasso, an Elvis Presley jacket, a Faberge egg - the market for these rare things is tiny, but when you find your market, when you find the right buyer, the price WILL be jaw dropping. It will take time. Lower it little by little (maybe by 10%-15% each week?) - if you set it out every week on the same days (I find my best results are posting on Thurs afternoon), people will start to see it, people will start to notice it and keep track of it, and someone will grab it at (or just a little below) "market price" before someone else does.

    GL!

    First, if you're paying 2mil for a +3 tome, that is also bad advice.
    Second, it was a suggestion, not advice. Plat gets a bad rap, but I still haven't had anyone give me their "worthless and useless" 4 mil plat no matter how many times I offer to take it off their hands.
    Third, I didn't drop the price by 1/10. I tried 150AS for three weekends in a row. Another three weekends of 125AS. Finally sold for 100AS, but I don't remember how many attempts - if it was the first or second or longer.

    So yes patience is needed, but "how much" is different for everyone. A blank with a yellow and colorless is nice, but it's not a raid item, it's not a slave lords item. The "bad advice" would be telling someone to go ahead and pay 1000AS for it. lol

    ymmv
