Ya know. When we were all level 7 and just starting out I remember HQ Pelts
going for oh... 3-4 pp. There weren't 50's running around with excess cash
just falling out of their pockets back then.
Don't belittle him just because he sold his item for a price he liked. I
fail to understand the mentality that so many players have that "You're a
fool because you sold that item for XYZ coins!" It's his business and he
had his reasons. Picking on him is just going to make him feel put upon and
put down on. He chose to do it, it's over. He knows he could have made
more money.
Picking on him about it really is out of line. Especially when I'm sure
each of us, at one time or another, has made a stupid sale or trade. I
still remember my bonehead self trading a Bloodstained Tunic for a EXEC hood
once. Then I found out that the BS Tunic had gone up in price to almost
1000 pp (this was when rubicite was still in the game and a BS Tunic went
for 900-1200pp)
