Hi there! Here is some info about me!
Name: Aimee
Marapets birthday: September 15, 2005

Please feel Free to MM me at anytime! If it is IMP0RTANT, I will always reply! If it is chatspeak or nonsense I will ignore and block!

Don't ask for my pets, items, or mp! I've worked very hard to get to where I am, and so should you! Ask and you will be blocked!

It is far more satisfying to earn your items than to gain them through dishonesty!

Note to staff, I may log in from multiple locations. Also, my family plays on Marapets (although not much anymore). We may send gifts on occasion. Thanks for understanding!

RANT: Buying in Bulk

10 years, 4 months & 18 days ago

Yes, yes, I understand this is a game, and anyone would appreciate a discount on anything they are buying, but...

Why is it that buyers think because they are buying in bulk they should deserve to get a super discount(i.e. half price), as though they are saving the seller troubles of selling 1 by 1?

Here's how I see it...The seller is saving the buyer the trouble of buying 1 by 1, not the other way around. Usually items that are purchased in bulk are highly sought after, easy selling items, i.e. Crystals, Diamonds, Scholarships, and the like.

As a seller, one can easily toss those types of items in their shop, price them for the going price, and have absolutely no issues in selling. Those types of items easily sell in bulk to multiple buyers in shops just as easily, if not easier than they would selling in bulk to one individual buyer.

If a buyer were to go to shops and buy in bulk for each of those items, the price would slowly increase over time. Thus, sellers shouldn't be selling their items for discounts when selling in bulk, but could actually be selling for slightly higher than the current SS selling price due to this fact.

Sellers of these types of items, don't sell yourselves short. You can easily get the going rate for your items by simply selling in your shop without having to discount. I know sometimes we are desperate for MP, but trust me when I say, the items will sell, and in the end you will have more MP.

I stumbled across this and I have to say I agree. I have not done either and rarely do I ask for discounts. I actually get annoyed that every other topic on the buying forum is asking for a discount. Like you said everyone would like a discount. But that is another topic. And ya when I first heard of someone saying they should get a discount for a bulk buy I was quite surprised. Logically it would be the other way around. Its really annoying buying large amts of things out of shops. So if someone will put them in neat trade lots hey that is great. But that service should come with a fee.

All I'm going to say i THANK YOU, I couldn't put my frustration into words, and you have summed it up quite nicely.

If this were real life the seller would be getting the items at a discounted rate and could afford to offer a discount for buying in bulk. However this is Mara and it costs me the same amount as it would anyone else. So why would I do all the work for someone else and turn around and give them a discount. Not happening. lol

If you want to post this in the forums Catherine you can, I have no issues with that.

That's true too. It all depends on the buyer and seller. If the seller wants to get rid of things fast enough they'll offer a discount, if the buyer wants to buy fast enough they'll overpay.

I try not to buy and sell on here because it's just nuts.

I think the complete opposite Katie. I think people buying in bulk should have to PAY MORE to buy in bulk. Just think of it as paying a royalty for not having to go through so many sellers to get the quantity you want. It would be similar to how bulk sellers (at least in the USA, like Costco and Sam's Club) have a membership fee.

I think people who buy in bulk do have the right to ask for a small discount (Like 10-15% off the top) because they are buying a lot of items (as long as it's to use them rather then resell them) but 50% off is quite ridiculous.

I agree and that's why I don't do bulk selling.

I have been saying EXACTLY that for years but people don't seem to listen or understand. I've even had people tell me that I'm an idiot because I'M THE ONE WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND BULK BUYING!!!

I understand bulk buying in real life is cheaper. Of course it is. This is not real life. Bulk buying should cost the buyer MORE not less in this game. It just doesn't make sense.
