found a nice bow

[Boonesmi]

i dont know if many of you play diablo2 but yesterday i found a really nice bow. and im having problems deciding what to do with it. (useast closed realm)

i have an amazon character and the bow would be great for her, but i can probably sell the bow on e-bay for over $1,000

the mods are
gothic bow
166 base damage
+2 skills
IAS
+19 dex
+19 max damage


what to do, what to do?

[warcleric]

People are actually paying real money for this stuff?

 

[Boonesmi]

im not understanding? whats the item being sold on egay? a bow? is this an actual bow? i dont play diablo2 (against my religion ) so excuse my ignorance. $1,000 for what?

 

[Boonesmi]

thats why its so insane, its just an online pc game.

its a roleplaying game but you can trade items with other players

 

[Daniel]

Wow, that's just so insane, I mean it seems like one of those things that even if you had the money you would be kicking yourself as soon as you stopped playing the game, I personally would kick myself if I even considering doing something like that. But by all means sell it, just my opinion though.

 

[nateholtrop]

I thought they banned that stuff on e*** ???? did they not?

i know what kind of game it is (not that ignorant) but my question is, whats being sold on egay? if this is a simple weapon, is it in a form of a file? cant you just simply put it in your game and vuala you have it.? or cant you just find it in the damn game itself and save yourself $1000. again my question, what is the actual item being sold on egaY?!

 

[Boonesmi]

some game (im thinking it was ultima online) had some lawsuit about selling game stuff online, but diablo stuff is there, just run a search for "useast" (since that is one of the diablo2 realms) lots and lots of stuff for sale

 

[Boonesmi]

ahhh dannylove i understand your question now, its not as easy as a simple file that can be copied

diablo2 can be played on secure realms. its items on these realms that have the high value because players have no access to the files.(this is to prevent cheating)

when on the realms the whole game is controlled by the secrure servers
no character or game data is on your pc

 

[DannyLove]

i'll stick with CS, thanks anyways

 

[perry]

But why pay $1000 for an item in a game? Is there prize money for playing the game? Is the weapon THAT hard to find that it would take more than $1000 worth of time to find it? Why would someone pay that much? I'm confused.

 

[jorken]

Dude why are you even asking what you should do with it? Sell that mofo. It's a game, what REAL value does it have? I wouldn't even hesitate to sell it.

 

[daddyo]

Sell it you fool!

$1,000 for a piece of information that will be completely useless in a few months shouldn't even a decision.

go! go! go!

perry...

I could be wrong, but my guess is once the item's been picked up in a given realm, it's no longer available for other players to get.

[UWDawg]

Sell it.

 

[Sephy]

Viper,
You are wrong. People will just pay that much to be superior for a day *shrug*

 

[Vortex22]

The "rare" items are randomly generated when they are dropped by monsters in the game. Something is good as that bow is extremely rare, but... $1000? What the hell?

 

[bigbootydaddy]

yeah, we are talking no more than a few dozen people have even seen it let alone hold it.

 

[iamwiz82]

sell now before no one wants it. my opinion, unless you wanna give it to me. I could use it =].

 

[Viper GTS]

Sephy...

I didn't mean there might not be another one out there somewhere, I'm just saying that because he picked it up it's probably no longer just sitting there waiting for somebody else to stumble across it.

[prontospyder]

wow.....i can sure use that bow....

 

[mastaki11a]

This is the best bow I have ever seen. It has the best mods you can get on the darn thing. I wouldn't be suprised if you got more then $1,000! SELL THE DARN THING DO NOT TRADE IT!
