Why are they droping in price? To many on the market or nerf inc? Or is it simple the fact that peeps are saving up cash for fat velius loot?

Great info btw, got me thinkning of a few ideas to get rich and famous...

alot of RMT bans took huge sums of plat out of the game

with plat much harder to purchase via RMT since there has been alot of suspensions and bans around it, people are less inclined to buy plat and just drop 50K -100K day 1 starting out

when prices were higher, plat was just flowing and noob items could be priced higher since people were literally just buying plat then gearing a character same day

Damn it, I feel like JS - I know nothing!

Its just the time of year, prices will rise again

Normally this is true. However, I don't think you should make any assumptions on what will happen to the market with Velious gear coming out soon.

They are talking about fungus, also "soon" hehe

Don't forget about the world's oldest profession.

Fastest way to make money is to tunnel rat. No lie.

Have you seen the range on a FBSS? Throughout the day they range from 7k to 9k, easily. Someone auctioning it 'has to go 7k' is going to take less. That's just the mentality of someone who needs pp now.

That's just 1 data point. There's tons more. Jade Maces can be bought for 1k and sold for 1500. Idol of the Thorned can be had for 4k and sold for 5k. RBG could probably be bought for 35k and sold for 42k.

What you want to avoid are the really big ticket items - items that only a handful of people can afford when there are options that are 'nearly' as good for much, much cheaper. CoF is a great example. Great item, but 75k is rough for a lot of people, especially when FBSS + chanter buffs caps haste on newbie chars. You can flip it, but you're holding up a ton of money on one item. These items are also more susceptible to drop. Only invest in these if you have a ton of money and can wait for the market to turn around.

So, if you're really looking to save up for something in particular, I'd suggest just bumming it in the tunnel.
