My Honest Review of U4GM’s PoE1 Item Service

[jornw]

I figured I’d share my experience since buying in-game items is still a hot topic among PoE players. I’ve been using U4GM lately, particularly for PoE1 items, and my verdict is surprisingly positive.

Before trying U4GM, I was one of those “earn everything legit” players. But let’s be honest—Path of Exile is grind-heavy. Between work and real life, I couldn’t keep up with the economy or high-end crafting without losing sleep. When U4GM popped up during a search for affordable currency and gear, I decided to test it cautiously.

Their site is straightforward—you pick your platform, select which PoE1 items or currency you want, and get matched with a trader. The in-game exchange happens pretty naturally, just like trading with anyone through the official trade window. The delivery time was under ten minutes for me, and the seller messaged politely before initiating the trade.

Pricing deserves a mention too. Compared to other PoE shops I checked, U4GM’s costs were lower and the stock seemed more consistent. I was able to get a six-link armor and some divines right before the new league start—both legit, both delivered smoothly.

It’s still important to stay cautious and follow GGG’s ToS, but from a user’s side, I had no issues. For veterans who know how much time the grind takes—or for newcomers trying to jump into endgame mechanics—U4GM’s item market is a real time-saver.
