And I'm never, ever selling un-id'd items again. Ever. I'll at least
wait for pseudo-id, even with mages. I'll buy a scroll of Remove Curse,
and try everything on to speed it up.

"You sold a Pair of Soft Leather Boots of Speed [2, +4] (+7) (k) for 5
gold."

If only I had close to 500k gold...

*EVER!*

(mumble..RNG...mumble),

tormodh.

Happens to many of us sooner or later. Mine was a potion of
Augmentation, which I found at 50' and sold unID'd. I too have never
sold unID'd items since.

Rotten luck,

Heh. For me, the worst time was in Moria. I'd come back up from about
500'? I had a magic weapon but it wasn't ego or anything. Sold an
un-ID'd cutlass in a weapon shop - turned out to be a Defender.
Arrrggghhhh.
Then I sold the other un-ID'd weapon I'd found, (I mean there was NO
chance of finding two super ego weapons that shallow, OF COURSE).
Goodbye, Holy Avenger.

Well, i just destroy all these early robes and boots and daggers and things,
as long as they aren't from levels with a high feeling.

Maybe i got something nice from a drop, but at least i'll never know.

You know, the level where you picked those up should have had a very
good feeling. That's what I usually watch out for.

Mine was some Death potion somewhere under 500'. Only that I identify by
drinking. But what the heck, I probably played 100s of low level characters in
that session.

I see it more as a tradeoff between id means and pottential gain, and more
importantly, a tradeoff for my play time. If it's unid-ed & squelched, then
it's like it never was. For the unided BoS in case, I don't see how 5 gold
would make any difference in the big picture, so why even bother picking up &
selling those boots?!

Ok why did I have to go and open my mouth.

"Agreed!
You Have Sold a potion of Constitution for 14 gold."

And that was at 150 Feet!!

NOOOOOOOOO!

Same with scroll of Aquirement once. It hurts a while, but it isn't too
bad. Selling BoS hurts much more.
