Anyone have any idea how much "flash of rainbow fountain water" is worth? No one on the TP has an actual price posted.
Congrats on getting that
The problem with the item si the fact that it is very random. People wouldn't pay for a BD weapon taht's 0+1+1+etc.; unless the value of a 2 or 3 icon weapon, which it would average. Compare that with your scenario, and people probably aren't going to buy it unless they know that a painted pet from this will be a profit to them., so if you want a quick and easy sale, 200k would probably be the price.
However, the other path to take to try and sell this is the fact that it's novel and new. People are excited about it. If you do this, put it on the Trading Post without a price. Advertise it as being a 'new' item. A 'flashy' item etc. Make it sound special. People will look on the TP and see no price, will think it's really rare, offer you a high price, thinking that they can make a profit no matter what and get stuck with the same problem as you. If you put ads on the trading post like this:
Flash of Rainbow Fountain Water
TP: None (i.e. there is no item with the same price on the Trading Post)
MP: 800k (i.e. you are auto-accepting any offer of 800k)
Haggle: Definitely
This way, people will see 800k thinking it'll be a great profit at that price. They'll then offer you something in the region of 400-500k, thinking they'll make a 400k profit on it, and then they'll be stuck.
If you want anything more, you'll have to be patient; but don't be too greedy. The value of these
will go down as more come onto the market
Hope that helps
