Ah, who doesn't love Server 2? We go there ingame to buy goods, go there to trade stuff, and we often get the best price for things. On top of that, it's one of the only places ingame to find certain things being traded, such as the Rares market having a residence in (or around) Falador Park.

Recently, as per the Summer, I decided to go ahead and strive for a Dragon Chain and Legs. So, for the last 20 or so days I've been working like crazy, planking logs, smelting and smithing steel, and even cutting trees down to earn the amount of cash that I'd need to get what I wanted. It took the better half of July to do this, and in truth I'm happy and somewhat proud that I've managed to stick this goal out as long as I thought I would.

The big day arrives. I'm rather happy about it. So, I wander down to the Park after checking the prices and offer what it's going for on the forums.

No takers.

I repeat this process over the course of 3 hours, the lowest that I've seen them come out to was 15.6. And when I broke down and got what extra cash I could out of the bank to make that offer, it was sold already and someone else was demanding 15.8! I can't afford that, even if I DID have 15.6, I couldn't offer more because I wouldn't have enough for the legs or for a cushion after the fact.

I'm just really upset that it took 3 hours for maybe 2 people to reject my offers of 15.4 and 15.5. It seems utterly rediculous that anyone would hold out for a 200k loss, and it's not like they couldn't make that back in a few hours. I also realise that this works both ways, as I could make 200k in less than an hour by making Natures. But, the only reason why I'm being so stubborn about it is that I wanted to buy immediately, and not wait any longer.

Discuss.

You need better sense of time... Maybe you should have tried a different world, or try and buy it on the runescape forums or something... plan it in advanced

Use the forums and there is no time lost. I always do something on rs while looking for the items I want to buy. It is much faster and less noobs on it.

Its ture, those people will hold out for the littlest about of money. I've seen people not make a deal with me over 50k on a 3 mil item.

Even though yes the forums help alot, I've been buying alot over them and if anybody knows my past, I used to merchant, big time, but Makoto is right, Falador world 2 is a bunch of merchanting nubs, as well as the major f2p worlds, always looking for the top dollar and never settling for less. Even though I just rc to make up the difference I still find it bothersome just as much as Makoto does. Sometimes I just want to punch the little kid in the face through the screen, but hey, thats just me...
