Do you sell or identify ilvl 63 items?

[Drunkenfinn]

I identify everything cause it adds to the excitement and possibly profits me a nice amount of gold.

Selling em unid would take away what little suspension and excitement the farming has in it.

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

You mean people actually buy non-identified items? Do you have to sell them via trade or can you do it through the AH?

[casually]

sell armor unid.. id weps... even a mediocre wep can be worth 1-5m where a mediocre armor piece is usually 0.

[batman4444]

I sell everything under lvl 60 and the salvage everything over lvl 60

People have figured out how to tell what modifiers an unidentified item has, without identifying it.
It appears most people here ID their own items, but if you see someone offering a 'deal', it's cause they know it's junk already.

[nightshark]

If it were easier to sell the items I'd probably do it, but I can't be bothered crawling forums looking for someone to sell to.

I have gotten very lucky with RNG in the last few days so it has paid off.

[Vvhooya]

I identify everything, probably not 2h bows since 80% of then are junk.

[skwumpy]

Identify. Gambling is too much fun

[Deleted]

I identify everything I get and most of the time I do it the moment I get it. I just can't have unidentified items in my bag for too long

[Deleted]

I identify everything myself. I don't want to run the risk of someone linking back a godly item worth countless millions/euros after having sold them an unidentified item

Identify. I cant be bothered to sell them on trade channel.

Can you substantiate that claim?

Sure, an unidentified item does contain the MF% used when it dropped (since MF% indirectly affects stat rolls), but it would be very sloppy of Blizzard to expose that to the game client. It's stored in a database away from prying eyes. Beyond that, the stat rolls happen on a game server and you just see the result, not the algorithm used to generate them.

Let's assume that people have figured out how to access the MF% of an unidentified item.. is it even much use? I've been identifying my own gear with 250% MF for weeks, and it's almost all total garbage. I had better luck with 100% MF. Whatever effect it has is very minimal and could not be used to categorize good or bad unidentified items.

Can you substantiate that claim?

It's been all over the forums and reddit the past few days. It's been around since launch tho. Basically you do some fancy linking with some special characters and then you're able to see the item code, which then tells you how many affixes that item will have. Doesn't mean those affixes will be good... just means there's higher potential there.

Oh I'm sure you can find it, Not going to exactly tell you how due to me likely breaking a rule but lets say. ''It's all over the internet''

[Lilly32]

Yea anyone selling UnIDs now is a scammer because they already know what the stats are. also Blizzard removed the page finally. Good thing I copy and pasted everything lol.

No if you enter the code it will tell you exactly what stats it will have. I tried it and it said my item will have dex,vit,socket, and some random DH skill. Sure enough when I IDed it those stats were there. On weapons it is pretty nice. I mean if it comes back crit, socket, and life on hit....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Ok, I read up on that exploit and as a programmer, it makes me sad that Blizzard was so sloppy to store UnID item info on the game client. They basically pre-ID it on the client and hope nobody will notice. So lame...

After the whole change-your-computer-time-to-cancel-auctions thing I can't say I'm surprised stuff like this is in the game.
