Uncle Bob.2964 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hey guys, I was wondering if there is a way to check street price of that precious shield. Are there any forums related strictly to trading discussions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Wiki says it is 1001g. I have it, but don't remember where from. It works good on an engineer so I can instantly tell when she has dropped her kit. GW2TP says there are 63 available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The street price is what's on the TP for all items that can be directly traded, with the sole exception being the few infusions that sell for over 10k (and that's only because the TP has a hard limit of 10k for offers). There are two sources of the skin, both available on the TP: https://www.gw2tp.com/search?name=ghastly https://www.gw2bltc.com/en/tp/search?name=ghastly * [The "skin only" version](https://www.gw2bltc.com/en/item/36339-Ghastly-Grinning-Shield-Skin) is listed as low as 1200 gold, with buy offers as high as 901 gold. * [The "weapon" version went "out of stock" last week](https://www.gw2tp.com/item/36332-ghastly-grinning-shield). Historically, there have been 1-2 listed for as low as 1000-1500 gold in the last six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 15% in fees is painful and yet is (a) good for the game (as a gold sink) and (b) small price to pay to guarantee your coin|items.

The trade post was created in Guild Wars 2 as the safe and sole means of trade. Yes, it will not yield you 100% profit from the 3000 Gold you ask for; but it is secure, you cannot be scammed by it. > > 2) **The customer support team is unlikely to help recover items in most scamming cases.** > >! We cannot multiply value in the game. If an item was taken from you, but it was not destroyed or recovered from an account that received your item, then it is still in the game’s economy and we cannot make another for you. That would be duping by us and not something we can consider. We can and do action the account that defrauded you if our logs can prove that is what happened, but that may be only a small comfort for anyone who lost valuable items. > > 3) **If it sounds too good to be true…** > > >! The mods of this subreddit are trying their best to keep everyone safe. They have posts here that remind you of common-sense practices, warn of people reported to have scammed and so on. However, none of these can keep you perfectly safe. Scammers can make new accounts, or scrupulously take accounts from other users for their deeds. And while the customer support team will do anything possible at all to help, it may still be too late for the items you had wanted to trade. > > All in all, please be smart, be safe.

There are no selling offers on thiese. Why make the distinction? The value to any but an ardent collector is the skin and there are so few collectors like that "street value" is whatever price the first one you can find is willing to pay. Regardless, the links provided show the historical value and there was a sell listing as late ago as last week; the market will not have changed substantially in that time, since historically the TP supply has run from 0 to 3 and the sell listings have been around 1000-1500 throughout.

Mainly because, the shield itself is a discontinued item, in many other MMO's those were gaining a lot of worth as the time goes by. Even if they had no practical usage ( like partyhats in RuneScape for example) and thats why I wanted to know. Thank you all for your effort, I appreciate it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very rare drop from combining shields in the mystic forge. > in many other MMO's those were gaining a lot of worth as the time goes by. Even if they had no practical usage ( like partyhats in RuneScape for example) Yes, that's true in this game, too. GGS (the weapon) just isn't one of those, which is why it has a TP price that (finally) mirrors the price of the skin. > and thats why I wanted to know. Good reason :) My apologies for not thinking of it. > Thank you all for your effort, I appreciate it :) Quite welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
