There're about 2 or 3 of them on my server, they constantly spam the trade channel, as soon as one hits his 3 lines macro the others do the same "wtb all your epic gems for whatever low amount so i can cut them and make a profit damn i'm such a clever entrepreneur" ....
Once they had a fight about who was the richest / smartest.
It got so annoying i ended up blacklisting them. I'd rather vendor my gems than selling to these guys, and go with empty sockets than buying from them.
Do you have these guys on your servers too ?
edit : i spell gud

/facepalm
So you blacklist them instead to simply make them raise price between each others and sell to the better offer? /facepalm

Or maybe i should have leveled engeneering and invented exploding gems that would rip their face off ?

There are a bunch of these guys on my server. From day to day it varies in price, but it's always between 100g and 120g. "WTB any color epic gem, 110g, PST." Sometimes they have a blurb about "Turn in that 10,000 honor and make gold, pst."
Anyone who sells to them is an idiot, imo. Uncut gems are around 125g-140g, and cut gems hover between 185 and 205 normally.
Then again, I'm sure they get people who don't really care and just want to unload them quick for some fast gold in their pocket. A lot of people don't like messing with the AH, since there's always that potential that their item will not sell, or they are undercut, and they'll lose the 5g deposit. All it takes is a couple times of losing a deposit before they tell themselves "I could have just passed on all this hassle if I had just sold to the guy in trade."
What I laugh at are the guys "WTB Alchemy gem transmute." Right buddy. Are you going to pay me like 120g for my transmute? Because I can get a junk rare gem off the AH, a cheap eternal element, transmute myself a gem worth 100g more than mats, and then cut it on my alt for another 50g profit. It's not like Titansteel, where mats total about 20g less than a titansteel bar.

I CoD my one epic gem transmute per day to a person that was spamming trade like that (unless I will need the gem in the near future). 150g every time for whatever gem. Some will auction for more, some less. It averages out and I don't have to screw around with the AH and undercutting.
I'm not really interested in the gem business. I do it because its part of my profession and it is a little bit of gold. I don't really care if he is going to cut it and make a profit. Good for him. If I wanted to, I would level Jewel Crafting. I haven't, so you can gauge my interest pretty accurately. I'm not about to go out of my way to squeeze every last copper out of it when it takes me all of 5 seconds to produce.
