[verdius]

what? no more drop on reed belt/gbs/pkt??? really???

[captainspauldin]

THEY ARE GOING TO BE ATLEAST 10k MORE IN THE MORNING!! i have 2 of each

[citizen1080]

lol... i got 4 or 5 manastones stashed..ill do 750k each..thats a deal!


/sarcasm off

[captainspauldin]

ill pay u 1100k each if u do it right now! cmon u must

what i really mean by this thread is.....that i think its funny that...

so lets say starting 2 weeks ago or so, i seen a few gbs for sale for around 5kish, saw nother guy tryin to sell for 10k forever, droped to 8k for a while but never know what happened.....now people trying to get or say they worth 15-20k. id personally say the items worth around 8k atm sure.

reed belt...wasnt 2 weeks ago there was a few for sale for 4-5k, both people selling and looking to buy for those prices, now people tryin to get 10k+. ok item doesnt raise 100% in a week. do i think its worth 5-6k sure, maby 10k after month or 2 but a week i think not.

pearl kedge, i dunno what to say on this item really, still seems stable but maby i just missed the guy trying to make them go from 16-18k to like 25k in one week lol.

and mana stones....i swear like 2 weeks ago i seen 2 that where selling for around 50kish give or take i dunno but now people tryin to say they worth 75k....i dont think the price goes up 50% in a week. 75k after a few months maby, not a week.

i could be off a lil on the prices but i doubt by much, just trying to show a point. now despite the people saying these items are worth that much and possibly a person or 2 getting lucky and on the opposite end being dumb and doing a transaction like this, i bet u still have the same chance of getting that item for its original price in the same amount of time spent looking and having quite a hard time selling the thing for the retarded 100%/week idea.

i just realized they might classify this as a rant, haha. but i think it belongs better here despite just throwing it over there because of the definition of a word. not that i expect this post to last more than a day or 2 and could completely care less where this goes or even exists

[citizen1080]

You are going to pay me 1,100,000 plat per stone?

[captainspauldin]

ill give you a billion plat!!

[captainspauldin]

no make it !!!! ONEE HUNNDREDD MIILLIOONN!!!

[Tillan]

blah blah blah, bitch about it cuz you didn't get a Reed Belt for 4k.

POINT IS: Shit goes up in price because demand rises. You don't like it? That's great, cuz it's the way it is. It's called an economy.

[captainspauldin]

lol i dont want a fucking reed belt lolz

if i wanted it, if i really cared and it was 20k, id buy it right now and not even care.

probly why i waste 10k bets and my gebs in the casino, lose, and not even give a crap, go back and do it again lol.

personally i like thick banded belt so i can carry around all my monies lolol, least till i can bank it. i honestly dont care about prices nor about items or small stats here and there. i just know when kunark comes out alot of these items will be outclassed and become very cheap, because there will be more new items with same stats or better coming in, and at the same time stuff like manastone going up in price.

just something to keep in mind when u guys think its worth spending an extra 5-10k for 1-2 stat points then in a few months lose that money, for what 20 mana for now? hehe. (hopefully, cmon kunark you piece of crap ^_^).

but no, this topic is not about some crappy belt, again, its about how amusing people are trying to plunge an items aged value months into the future in a few days.

[h0tr0d (shaere)]

I understand the manastone, but didn't remember the others not dropping anymore. Que pasa?

[captainspauldin]

i dunno if that parts exactly true, i believe the spawn on a few of them are and have been broken and possibly (rumored) may not be planned to come back into the game prehaps because of hackers or some such.

however, that does not mean that these items will justifiably raise to crazy prices just to get 1-2 stat points. now or in a few months or in a year, i am never going to pay 10,20,40k for 2 atk or 20mana or whatever. and the fact that kunark is coming with items on par or better to solve and best the problem of those items being the best and possibly no longer droping.

the only reason we are going to see manastones 100k+ easily in that era is because its actually damn good, and there isnt something thats going to come out and beat it. period.

[Daldolma]

Everyone seems to remember manastones going for 45-50k except me. All I know is I posted on a thread a week ago that I'll buy every single manastone available at 45k, and I still haven't gotten a single PM. Maybe the reason the prices seem to be rising so much is that you were out of touch with them in the first place. Manastones went from 60 to 70, with the resellers trying to get 75. They hardly jumped from 45 to 75.

Uthgaard response at the bottom of page confirms that the two spawns have been broken since mid December.

So Reed Belt, PKT, and GBS haven't been spawning since then and we haven't heard a time frame for when that will be fixed.

[verdius]

PKT price gonna skyrocket since it is the best wis totem

Economics derives from the concept of scarcity. Nothing in everquest, except nerfed items are scarce.

[Tillan]

How are PKTs, GBS' and Reed belt NOT scarce right now?

scarce: Insufficient for the demand.

Definitely not filling demand. Go to EC tunnel and auction a Reed Belt, you'll be amazed how many people send you a tell. PKT, not so much due to the price point being higher, but still scarce.

[Slathar]

pkt reed belt and gbs are expensive because the mobs that drop these items are currently not spawning

[captainspauldin]

can we just ban the 15 year old who puts stupid ass tags on all the topics? wonder what jealous little noob it was this time. and you can atleast get my name right, its gridgey, ty.

What the hell are these herp-derp economics?

Plain and simple: NOTHING about EQemu markets are rational!

They are derivations of people's misunderstanding of pricing and the dev's inability to manage the excess liquidity within their economies.

Right now PKT, GBS, Reed Belt, and pretty much everything (ex. manastones) should be plummeting in price because suitable substitutes are right around the corner and item holders are attempting to become liquid prior to the xpac.

You're overstating your point - the EQemu markets are pseudo-rational. The only debate is what percentage is rational and what percentage isn't. I highly doubt 99% of the p99 market is irrational.

Plat is created a lot more quickly on p99 than it was on live, which is why the prices for a lot of items don't really fall (FBSS), partially because there are only a few substitutes. Sky belts are only a situational substitute, although I think they're really good (AC/stats ftw) and want one for my Ranger.


I find it way more interesting that lower-level items' prices don't increase a lot more based on the same inflation.

You're talking FBSS (non-proc tradeable haste) vs. pure stats, it's a scarcity issue in that case. So sure there are SOME items whose demand is more inelastic contributing to relative price stability.

I think the lowbie items remain as such because their supply is eternally increasing and their demand is really linked to server pop. So while they face inflation due to the deflationary forces on 1pp, they likewise fall in real value because we have a fairly static server pop and an ever increasing supply.
