(And if you found a $2000 Windforce as your 6th item it would be worth risking the 10c).<br /><br />Don't forget there's also the gold AH. If you're adverse to risking real money on deposit fees sell it for gold and later cash your gold out for dollars.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-61793765751175191352011-08-29T23:49:41.108+01:002011-08-29T23:49:41.108+01:00What if you spend more money on auction house list...What if you spend more money on auction house listing fees than you get back on sales, due to most of your auctions not selling? That's the one risk I see to the "play for fun, sell some stuff on the side" approach (which is also the approach I plan to take).Carson 63000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10900682924502279486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-33177718674370384992011-08-29T19:03:59.969+01:002011-08-29T19:03:59.969+01:00Oh I'm not advocating selling items off too ch...Oh I'm not advocating selling items off too cheaply just for the sake of it.<br /><br />I'm specifically addressing the point that there's no point selling on the RMAH because Chinese gold farmers will be selling too.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-45232363030987356282011-08-29T17:56:12.684+01:002011-08-29T17:56:12.684+01:00You make an interesting point, and its basically t...You make an interesting point, and its basically the way I treat virtual currency in mmos today. I never care if I could have sold that stack of ore for 500 silver, and I don't care if I post it for 200 silver and someone else buys it only to repost it for a profit. The time I spent mining that ore was free (to me) and the 200 silver I made was 200 silver profit.<br /><br />However, I don't really know if I'm going to feel the same way about real money. If I found £3.50 on the street, I wouldn't think to trade it to someone for £2, nor would I want to spend that £3.50 on something that I could have gotten for £2. There's a huge psychological difference between real money (which I'm going to need to retire someday), and virtual money which has no meaning outside of the game.<br /><br />So, you could be right, but I'm not sure. I'll have to wait and see how I actually feel when this all becomes a reality.John Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904635378293419363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-20025547577690176722011-08-29T15:20:08.878+01:002011-08-29T15:20:08.878+01:00Ha ha well I must admit I am thinking of spending ...Ha ha well I must admit I am thinking of spending some money on certain items early on. But I'll take the point that spending £2 on an extra 2% magic find is a gamble.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-54903657995057196252011-08-29T14:20:28.633+01:002011-08-29T14:20:28.633+01:00I would agree. If you start out 'investing'...I would agree. If you start out 'investing' into your equipment, so you make more money later, you might very well hear Blizzard say 'thanks, dumbass' from somewhere far away, and then it turns out that the investment wasn't so much an investment and as consumption. <br /><br />Which could be fine. If there weren't the bad taste that you fooled yourself ;)<br /><br />Don't decide to undertake a journey to a goal as uncertain as making money of Diablo 3. For your 'fun' it is probably much better to just play the game and sell what you find if you don't need it. Try to ignore that you can also buy stuff. D3 will be around long enough. There's no need to be extra fast.Nilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468755466492675831noreply@blogger.com
