"quick sale" trade posts

Morning rant for me...checked the trade boards and as often happens i see someone posting that they want a quick sell...Now call me stupid if you like, but surely the idea of a "quick sell" is to set your potential trade to LESS than most other trades still open, or at least the same price???

I mean what sort of moron is going to complete a "quick trade" at 750mill/k UU when there are 20 normal trades for between 700mill/k and 740 mill/k???

Do people not understand the basic concept of trading here or something? I mean, come on, we have had trading as part of civilization for over 2,000 years, it's not a difficult concept...

I've got a cpl of deals for people, quick trades, 900mill/k for my UU and 120 bill/k for my AT's, any fools out there want to broker me then go for it, i'll just have to make sure it's flagged as "quick" when i rip people off, that way no one will notice the utterly pathetic rates...

/rant off

Actually they have it spot on.

It`s not about being a moron seller, it`s about finding morons to buy that trade is all about ;)

quick sell generally means a bit higher of a price, but for a faster trade.

And some peopel write : online now... or quick sale, aren't actually quick...

They take just as long if not longer than regular sale.

I'm willing to pay more, if a person accepts my trade within 5 minutes of me brokering. But now people throw it around so often, it loses it meaning.

personally if I say "online all day" i mean MSN, not SGW...

like... I'll be damned if I'm going to stay logged in for 8 hours onto SGW checking the trader broker every 5 minutes.

if people offer us trades that are extremely good for us, then we dont have problem with it... but if they demand we pay more than market rate, then we simply find other person to trade with...

I'm happy for the topic to remain here. It's market related I guess. As long as no one starts flaming over it enjoy venting any frustrations 8) I'm also inclined to agree :-D ,

Its not a ripp of its just soome poeple are impatiente and want to have quick trades done.So I dont mind paying extra 10 bill just to have my trade completed in few minutes rather in day(what can and did happen to me)or more.Not to mention that brokers once expired and not a even a PM saying srry or anything.
Same deal Im offering when selling althou sometimes RL catches me in bad situation and I can accept imidiatelly.
