Would it be fair

Would it be fair to trade a 193 ma Ele Wand 5, 3l rare, 18% pdr ned, enhanced once
for a clean Ele Staff 6? I saw 2 clean for 1.5-2b the past two weeks, and I've gotten a p/c of at least 1.5b for the wand, so would it be a fair trade for both sides?
Just, just in case if I ever find a person willing to.
Thanks

[quote=kooless]I think it would be worth it if you want to spend the extra money getting it GM scrolled and then renebbing and potting and cubing. 50% is also an option but again if you don't have the money or are not willing to spend money making the staff perfect then just keep the wand. Unless your playing a BAM in which case do the trade as an Elemental Staff 5-8 is the best you can get atm.[/quote]

I have the money to get it GM'd, potted, and neb'd, so I figured that I might as well trade the weapon for a staff. I'm a mage person so I have the mages who'd benefit most off the staff at 160+/200, so I'm definitely going to do the trade of I find someone.
Just created the thread to get some sort of, uhh, confirmation on if I should go through with seeking for a trader. Mostly because I didn't want to make myself look like an idiot and I don't know much of prices

[quote=bloodIsShed]hell no.

edit: here are the reasons why it's a bad trade:
the wand is at a much lower level and yet is better than a 60%'d staff 6
the wand is lukless, while the staff requires a lot of luk
the wand has 18%pdr
the wand 5 have a higher percent increase for fire element

the wand should be worth a lot more than just 1.5b.
should be worth over max mesos imo[/quote]

I wish I could agree with you, but it's like this because of the amount of perfect weapons around and probably since Empress weapons are more demanded
I should've sold the weapon when it was worth something a bit more

@SaltyBlocks: I've been meaning to upgrade, so a clean one that I could work on would be better. I think a poor scrolled Ele Staff 6(assuming you mean 60%'d) would be worth less that a clean one, too Then again, I don't know, which is why I'm on here asking Yeah, hopefully it's a fair trade. I don't wanna lose money or get the better side of the trade lol

Thanks guys Guess I'll keep looking for a person willing to do the trade
