Seriously, how do you do it? I’ve always been a big fan of delirium farming, and scarabs are money. I can get about 70 divines of scarabs from 38 divines worth of maps, but selling on TFT @ 85% ninja price, I’m getting just 60 divines. I understand that time is money and that I’m paying for convenience, but I’m leaving quite a bit of money on the table, especially since the ninja price doesn’t take into account bulk pricing.
This isn’t just about scarabs though - In general, how do you efficiently bulk sell straight to the trade website?
I’m not up on prices of sarabs so I am pulling numbers out of my ass. You list it as a fraction. The currency you want is always the first number. So selling 30 scarabs for a divine. Price them
~b/o 1/30 divine
60 for two divines
~b/o 2/60 divine
I just wait til I have a mountain of scarabs and I, well, set their price.
You can list stacks for sale in bulk price by doing a
x/yprice to indicate the buyer must buy a certain amount.I don’t bother selling any given slot for less than a divine so, if I have less than a divine of 1 type of scarab I dont bother listing it.
Once I surpass the threshold of 1 divine of 1 type of scarab, then I sell em.
I do this with essences all the time. I’ll pick some value that I feel is worth my time trading and list for that price. Early on I sell minimum of 1 stack, but later I only sell in 1div amounts.
People will come.
I have sold cheap scarabs in bulk this Season. Actually went quite well for me. All without TFT.
For Deli Orbs, I’ve had luck selling for 100% of ninja price. Scarabs I’ve not had luck with though.
Do you think it could be useful for a bulk buy and sell site?
Consider the following, since the site is made with the limitations of PoE in mind, you can put up bulk buy and sell orders like in tft, but you make the original message directly through the site. With that, you can mark someone as ‘busy’ when they accept until they close the bulk trade, show how many active offers have been made, get reports on how often someone responds to their bulk requests, etc.
Essentially, by removing the fire-forget-floodgate setup that something like a discord server or the official tradesite have, participants in the bulk trade site imply that they’re ready to trade and that your trades will actually go through. You can see if you’re the 90th person to message for a bulk sale that minute and if you’re the first to message, you’re the first to actually be seen.
Time is money, so the reality is if you are seeing others consistently bulk sell on TFT at prices that are too low for you bulk wise, then you’ll have to spend more time to get a sale. As for your actual question, simply price it per number like: public tab, set price for specific essence with currency type divine, then do something like 51/1 or 500/10 etc.
I have a set of tradesite urls for every scarab I’m selling (custom min stack). I then visit those sites and write down the price for the Nth offer. I go through all the urls, collect all the prices and then price them all in one go.
