GoldenSunIsaac Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Hello PokeMMO Community! This is the guide on how to use the "Trade Chat" in PokeMMO. This guide will mainly explain how to sell,trade, and buy things on the trade chat. There have been many instances where players need to clear there PC, or just have to sell some items/TM's/Pokemon for extra money. One Of The Main problems that most people are having, is they are not getting much attention on the trade chat, as it is one of the most hardest things to do especially now since most people are running low on money, the trade chat continuously spams 24/7 with everyone selling and barely anyone buying. -------------------------------------------------------- Trade Chat Used Codes BP = Battle points RP = Reward points WTB = Want To Buy WTS = Want To Sell PM = Private Message Whisp = Whisper Compro = Buy (Spanish) Vendo = Sell (Spanish) LF = Looking For B/O = Buy Out / Best Offer WTT = Want To Trade (Auto-Buy) = Automatically Buy With Specified Price #K = 1,000 ##K = 10,000+ ###K = 100,000+ #M = 1,000,000+ ##M = 10,000,000+ Ty = Thank You ------------------------------------------------------- Phrases For Trade Chat Buying WTB [Pokemon/Item/TM/RP/BP] [Price] Whisper Me WTB [Pokemon/Item/TM/RP/BP] PM Me LF [Pokemon/Item/TM/RP/BP] Paying [Money To Spend] Whisp me WTB [TIER] COMPS PM ME Paying [Money To Spend] Selling WTS [Pokemon/Item/TM/RP/BP] [Price] Whisp me WTS [Pokemon/Item/TM/RP/BP] LF [Preferred Price] or Offers PM me WTS [(Shiny/Comp) Pokemon] B/O:[Best Offer From Player] (Auto-Buy [Preferred Money]) --------------------------------------------------- Before Using Trade Chat Before using the trade chat; this part is very important because before you start to buy and sell things on the trade chat, you are going to need some money first. This may sound like a lot to some and a little to some others, but to start off, in the trade chat you will want to start with at least 300k. This amount of money is great to start with! you are now open to buying some breeders/ditto's/vanity items and TM's/HM's. To obtain this money, you can simply do an island run/farm and grind some money, you can make around 125k doing islands 5-7 with Payday LVL 100 Persian holding an amulet coin. A lot of new users just jump right into the trade chat with barely any money to spend on buying anything. This is not the way to do it. Many people just think this: "Well I can just sell one of my comps and then start trading lol" "Can't I just sell some of my things to make money?" Yes these are both correct, but if you do this you will run low on stock, of Pokemon, items and your service will not last very long in the trading business, unless one of your friends hands you money, or if you just start overpricing your stuff to the max. Note: Try not to over price things, it scares buyers away. So basically this section was about the money you need before you start trading. Trust me the extra money in the beginning of becoming a seller will be helpful in the future... very helpful! --------------------------------------------------------------- Where Are The Buyers? The buyers can be found anywhere, some of them lurk trade chat quietly, and some of them constantly spam the trade chat and other chats saying things such as: "WTB DITTO 2x31 ADAMANT ATT/DEF WHISPER ME NOW!". Saying long phrases in all CAPS LOCKS do not attract sellers or buyers, especially when you try to buy in "Global Chat' or "Channel Chat", that makes you seem like you do not know what you are doing while trading, and lets people know they can buy some valuable things from you for a very low price. These will be some notes for the buyers: Do Not Spam Other Chats With Your Trade Messages Try To Look For People Selling Pokemon/Items that you might be interested in, or are similar to what you are looking for, and try to whisper them and ask if they have what you want. If they say no, then move along, it doesn't hurt to try Sometimes You Can Try Your Team Chat, Team Mates are usually there to help, so you can try talking to them. If Your Looking For A Specific vanity Item and specific color, do not say: "WTB DARK GREEN DEVIL WINGS PAYING 380k WHISPER ME!" You will get more sellers if you say something like this: "Wtb 1000RP Paying 380k-400k PM me" ------------------------------------------- Easiest Items To Sell This is a List of the most sold/easiest items to sell on the trade chat: Everstone (1x) = 20k Choice Band = 200k Leftovers = 40k 500RP = 200K - 250k 1000RP = 400k - 450k EXP Share = 35k - 65k Lucky Egg = 300k - 400k Light Ball = 35k Blue/Green/Red/Yellow Shards = 20k - 40k 2x31 - 6x31 Competitive Natured Pokemon = 250k - 2M 2x31+ Breeders = 150k+ Future Comps = 300k+ 1x31/2x31 Ditto's = Easily one of the most easiest things to sell in trade chat goes for about 20k - 125k. Note: Some OF The Prices Listed Above Are Not How Much The Items/Pokemon Value. However, it is how much players sell them in trade chat, and you can easily get that amount of money off of those items/Pokemon. ---------------------------------------------- DO NOT DO THESE THINGS Do Not Spam or Post Trades Outside of Trade Chat into other chats (Global,Normal,Shout,Channel) (Said This Already) Try Not To Use All CAPS (unless needed on Special Occasion) If you are not getting offers you don't want, try to bid the item/Pokemon. (B/O:___ ) (Auto-Buy___) Do Not Get SCAMMED, make all your trades wisely,and be wise about your decisions. Like vanity items, do not let users try on them if they have not purchased yet, as you can now link the vanity item, so do not get scammed. Link everything and always take money at the same time as the item/Pokemon. Do Not Release Anything in your PC, always try trade chat, you might be able to get 3k off of something you would have trashed. Do Not Constantly Whisper Sellers bad offers if they have ignored you or already told you no over 5 times, this gets annoying to all sellers. Be wise about your whispers, try not to get blocked. for example: Player1: "WTS [Shiny Charizard] Whisper me offers, only taking serious offers" Player2: "How much?" Player1: "Only taking offers" Player2: "Okay how about 300k?" Player1: "Blocked Player2 With The Reason "RightClick" Do not let that happen to you. Un-Tradeable items Master Ball (Master Ball = 80k-100k) most spammers/trolls/ new players will put this, this item is untradeable. All Key Items Gift Pokémon, Pokémon that where given to buy an NPC or by a function in-game other then wild encounters, or purchasing. Rare Candy's HMs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How To Grab The Attention On Trade Chat This part is very hard to do in the trade chat. The easiest way to do this is to have a wide variety of things to sell. For example: Shiny's, Large yield of Everstones, Great comps, great deals!, and also rare Vanity Items. These things will grab so much attention from trade chat, even if you do not have such good items/Pokemon you can grab attention by having an active bid, such as one that keeps on rising as the trade chat rolls along, example: Player1: "[Shiny Grimer] B/O:500k (Auto-Buy 3M) Player2: *Whispers* "550k bro" Player1: "[Shiny Grimer] B/O: 550k @Player2 (Auto-Buy 3M) These types of sells/trades always grab peoples attention. As it seems like a lot of people are fighting for that one item/Pokemon more people will be interested and jump into the play, even if they might have not wanted it in the first place. This tactic usually only works for Shinys/ Exclusive Vanity, or really great Competitive Pokemon. Another way to grab attention in the trade chat is by having very cheap things, or things that barely make profit. Yes I Know this is very risky, however, if you sell a lot, then you will eventually start to make more and more money as you progress in the trading business. Remember, that getting the most attention, and having the most customers is a great way to get a lot of money. This tactic I am about to show you is what I see a lot of users doing, this one is where you constantly sell the same content. Players who are on the trade chat everyday selling one specific thing, if its shinys/everstones/comps/dittos, you always know where to find them because they keep consistent with what they are selling and with there prices. This way is how you get consistent and loyal customers. You have a higher chance of selling your ditto's if you sell ditto's everyday, rather then a person who decides to clear there PC of the 1x31 Ditto's they have. ---------------------------- Scammers Scammers, this will be a short section, as I just want to point out a few notes about how to know if your among a scammer, and to know how to prevent them from scamming you: Do Not Let Them "Try On" Your Vanity Items. Do Not Let Them "Walk Around, to look cool with" Your shiny Pokemon. Make sure you trade AT THE SAME TIME this will prevent all scamming. Always check the Pokemon/item they put up in the trade boxes/slots Get to know the buyer first a little bit, if you suspect they will scam you. If They Have Scammed in the past and you know about it, STAY AWAY ----------------------- Trolls Trolls can be found anywhere, in channel chat, global, and normal. In most cases its best to just ignore them or easily block them. people who put an offer of 400k for a Shiny Rapidash or something of far more value then 400k, it is best to ignore them. if they keep on bothering you, that is when you block them. Notes: "There are A LOT of trolls on trade chat, please be aware of this with all your transactions." ------------------------------------------------------------- When you know its a scammer Player1: "Hey Can I try on your Electric Storm hair I want to see how it looks on me?" Player2: "No I can just link it to you" Player1: "nvm then" Stay AWAY From that ------------------------------------------------ Conclusion | Summary To sum it all up, make sure you are using your trade chat properly. I see a lot of users who do not know how to trade properly, or are just playing around with selling/buying. Please do not use the trade chat if you are not serious, it has enough spam already. Remember these last few notes, grab all the attention without spamming, sell at cheapest possible, do not over price, do not whisper someone really bad offers and expect them not to block/ignore you, DO NOT GET SCAMMED, do not go in other chats with your trades, if you ever do go in other chats with your trade please say: "W/c" or "Sorry w/c" So we know it was a mistake. I hope you all read this guide and begin to sell as much as possible, enjoy making money and not misusing the trade chat. -------------------- Rules Do Not Reply Scammers, You can reply your experiences of being scammed, but no pointing out the scammers, as it is not allowed in PokeMMO. No Useless Replies Such As: "This Guide is pointless" Reply Only Things that are helpful, or used to make this guide better such as: "You missed_____" You forgot to put this_____" Hit The "Like" Button if you like this guide and think it is needed, reply if you have an issue, please do not reply very long post, please summarize.

Imperial Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Alot of the people placing really bad offers are mostly trolls, I mean when they offer things like 40k for a rare shiny or they offer really high and don't respond afterwards. Main reason I made a Forum account was to try and prevent the lowballs from chat. Overall, nice guide, keep it up! Link to comment

Imperial Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Oh yeah, you also forgot to include PP UPs and PP Max, since you can collect quite a few while doing the story-run! PP UPs: 15-17k each PP Max: 40-50k each Link to comment
GoldenSunIsaac Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Oh yeah, you also forgot to include PP UPs and PP Max, since you can collect quite a few while doing the story-run! PP UPs: 15-17k each PP Max: 40-50k each these items are convenient, but they are not usually seen in the trade chat. So I won't be adding them for now Link to comment
milluki Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 B/O means buyout but it's generally misused as "best offer"(BO) in game, maybe worth mentioning. Link to comment
