Yes, it is up to them to research prices before selling... If they choose not to, then that is their fault.

It depends, if you know the noob, you should inform them. If you aren't buying from them, then it might be nice if you if you inform them. It all depends on the situation.

I agree that it is ok, if they can't take the time to type two words into Guru search then you can take it if u want

No. You should tell the person a better estimate of the item price. For example, selling Mini Polar Bear for 40K was not a very good choice. Someone should have warned the person. We already have lots of abuse in real life, don't spread it to GW.

Why not? When I was a newb I took the time to come and check forums for pricing to make sure I didn't get screwed over. If people don't want to do that its their own problem.

Why not? It's their fault they didn't research the item first. People need to be less ignorant.

So you're like an ATM? Get used for money, and never appreciated?

If they wasted enough time to get that item, they obviously have enough time to go get another.

Haha I don't mind. I'm naturally generous. It's a game and I can easily make the money back.

Its up to the person to find out how much its worth. A quick google search would direct them here, which should allow them to at least get a ballpark figure. Or just asking guild/alliance members

IMO, its wrong for someone to give a very low PC with the intention of buying the item. But if the person is advertising low, or willing to accept a low offer, go for it.

if I saw someone selling an item I wanted for a really low price from a noob, I would jump all over it and not care. sry, but thats the way the market works, look up prices if you wanna make the money.

Its called smart trading.

A deal is a deal, no matter who is selling it.

depends on the lvl of noobishness

I read all these replies and shake my head. It seems to me that some of you started playing this game with full knowledge of it and all the ins and outs.

I remember when I first started playing. I knew no one who played GW and I wasn't in a guild either.. took me 6 month to finally get in to one.

I didn't know about Guru or Wiki at all when I started playing.. and I was always like "PC on this time please"

I don't think it's right to take advantage of, as you guy's call em "noob's".
But I guess that's each there own. Just keep in mind. It'll come back to ya.

There's my $0.01
