    Yup I bought it to put it back on the market at the true value.

    1 of 2 in existence. To date 1,774 Grand Visors have been slain and 148,551 Executioners have been slain. Good luck trying to farm one of these axes =-)

    Wait... You saw that the axe was priced at 3mil plus originally right? LOL!! I wonder why the price was dropped and you picked it up for 2.5... perhaps no one was bidding and thats what it was worth?? Okay, best of luck with your resale.

    You know... the original seller found that on the floor at Delucia bank because some didn't realize the "true value." Good luck lol.

    Recent auctions indicate the true value of this item is right around 2.5 million gold, although there was only one person on the server willing to pay that much. ;)

    I admire your business savvy. If you decide you want to bail out, I'll offer you what you paid for it (2.5M). That was the bar I set that I was 'not going to cross'. I think what is keeping the value of this down (for me) is that there will be more (and should be, based off of the drop rate and total kills). If it were a holiday item that would never appear again, then I would windmill slam it @ 3.5M.

    Thank you everyone for your candor.

    I see that happen quite often and watch as the bidders take it past the price that was originally set. Getting antsy because nobody bids on it within a few hours and lowering the price does not mean its worth less.

    That's how all auctions end. 1 person is willing to pay X amount and gets the item. That and there is only 1 auction with this item in it which happens to be where I got it ;). With 1 of 2 in existence I get the pleasure of setting the price point. Sure you can wait until someone else farms one up but will they sell it? Will it be sold for 2.5 million or less? When will that happen? The real question is, how bad do you want it.

    Or, because taming is so fucking easy, you could LITERALLY go park three tamers at executioners and have one within a month or so.

    Perhaps and maybe even two or three months? Perhaps spending a month there will consume more then 2 hours a day which compared to 60k/hour x 2 hours x 30 days = 3.6 mill for 1 account seems like a bad deal. If you want to lock up all 3 of your accounts be my guest it doesn't matter to me. I set the price, go farm it, buy it, or don't do anything. Sure would look great with a 400 plat guillotine or a 1,000 plat blood pentagram. Perhaps even sexy with the coffin?

    The amount of platinum and gold you would make just trying to get one, would exceed the cost of this. That still doesn't mean it's worth it to most folks for something they can't use and only look at and will absolutely spawn again.

    What is your point exactly? That can be said about any item. Post a +25 indestructible blackstaff of force for 500gp and it would not seem worth it to most folks. Post a super duper 1 of a kind anniversary pink yada yada for 10 mill and guess what? It might not seem worth it to most folks. If its not worth it to you, that is fine, but why are you telling me? I figured the initial post was clear enough, 1 of 2 in existence, a shit ton of executioners have been slain just to find 2 of these, you can try your luck at farming it, or otherwise its 3,5 Million Firm. Clear, concise, and straight to the point no further input necessary.

    A: I'm telling you because I can and don't give any shits at all how you feel about me sharing my opinion on the matter. You brought an item to a public market place and one of the most tenured dealers in the lands is having a laugh at it.

    B: If no one gave a shit enough to at least comment on this thread, it would have died a boring death. Three cheers for the internet!

    A quick search has yielded that you spend more of your time buying items than selling them on the forums and imputing your "tenured dealer" opinion into other people's posts when you are not asked to do so. Your "tenured dealer" position is really just a pompous self serving ego that you have created. I seem to have offended it because I spoke up when it entered my post, questioned why you were telling me anything at all, and would not get on my knees for it. I do not care what your price opinion is, I do not care that you posted here, I do not care who you are, and I do not care who you claim to be. You have yet to answer the questions that were asked and eluded to some kind of self defense protocol reminiscent of Eric Cartman. Hey guys you know what is really cool? I have this axe that Blaise doesn't have. He is so jelly he has to bash my post because I wont bow down to his whim and take his "guidance." Blaise at the end of the day, 3.5 Million Firm

    Thanks for the update that your ability to search the forums sucks as bad as your ability to turn a profit in a timely fashion. You suck at this. Also, you cared at least enough to drag out that South Park pic and for that, I thank you. Finally this thread has some fucking value.

    At the end of the day, the thing is rotting in your bank box because you can't use it and you're going to have to sit on it until someone finally breaks. For your sake, I hope it happens before someone gets bored enough to farm them exclusively and sell at 2m a pop.

    It is definitely a nice axe!

    Zero sympathy for lame traders boasting about their cheap schemes to quench some gold out of shitty auctions.

    3 pages worth of posts @ 20 per page that is 60 posts that you made since Oct 2012. All of the posts that you made in the trade forums maxes out at 10 pages back to April 2015. @ 20 per page that is 200 posts over 4 months in which you were not selling an item and more than likely were buying or giving your "tenured dealer" opinion.

    - Over 4 years you created 60 posts of potential sales
    - In 4 months you have been involved in over 200 posts giving "expert advice" or actually buying an item.

    That is an awesome trade tactic that you must share with everyone. Does that involve lowering the price to a point that you find reasonable? Or is it because Blaise says that any item posted on the forums must be sold within a day if its considered timely.

    I hope that day comes soon. I also hope whoever gets it has some sense and posts it on the forums for 3-3.5 mill instead of looking for fast cash. No matter what happens I will leave it in my bank until I quit or it will get sold. Gold is not some precious resource that I need to show off my e-peen.

    Not looking for any sympathy. Was never boasting just telling it how it is.

    TLDR;
    60 out of the 5,544 or 1% of the posts that you have made were potentially sales threads.
