The price tracker clearly provides a useful and neutral service for players who don't want to get ripped off, as well as unprofessional sellers who want to know what they should ask for their items. By unprofessional I mean those players who like to actually spend time out in the world adventuring.
The backwoods economic arguments being put forth here are stupid. There's not a modern market in the world that doesn't track and publish sale prices.
The P1999 economy is peculiar for those coming from Live and esp for those who haven't played since the classic era (like me). I played on Tarrew Marr in the early days, so I might readily have paid a hefty sum for a sacrificial dagger or a SSoY. Those items aren't very valuable any more, and I'm glad the limited plat I spent 20+ hours farming at sisters wasn't scammed out of my pockets. Thanks auction tracker!
