Tutorial:Lowballing

This is a guide on how to lowball.

What Is Lowballing?
Lowballing is the act of buying/selling items 10 to 20% below the market price. If you need money fast and you don't want to put your item on BIN, you can go to a lowballer to lowball your item.

What and When To Sell Your Items To A Lowballer
Before you sell your item to a lowballer, it is recommended to check the lowest BIN. If the price the lowballer offers is a lot lower than market price, they are probably scamming and it is best to report them and leave their island. If the lowballer kicks a lot of people from their island, it's also best that you leave.

How To Become A Lowballer Yourself
Before you start: It is recommended that you get a booster cookie or open AH tracking website to check the lowest BIN.


 * 1) Think about what kind of items you want to lowball and their rarity.
 * 2) Make your island public and go to a hub. Advertise about you lowballing in the public chat (DO NOT SPAM AND FOLLOW THE RULES AT ALL TIMES) and tell people to /visit you. Make sure to include what kind of items you want to buy and how much budget you have.
 * 3) When someone comes to your island to sell something, make sure to give a reasonable price (ideally 10% below market value).

Avoid Scams
Some lowballers offer prices much lower than market value. This is why it's always a good idea to check the AH before selling your items. Lowballers that are mean to people and/or kick a lot of people from their islands are probably scammers as well. Some "lowballers" don't buy stuff at all. They just tell people to visit their island but their real purpose is to grind Social XP. If you have seen any of these cases it's best to /report them and leave the island immediatly.
