You do realize that "price fixing" got much easier now, right? The EC bandits can now just run private parsers to do the exact same thing that p99 auctions did, but only for themselves. P99 auc made everything more transparent and made the buy/sell game much more difficult. Without it the tunnel rats have a huge advantage.

No they don't because they were just pumping the public logs full of whatever data they wanted you to have. Not that hard to log in a mule /auction once with a price you like, log off and do it again on another. Spend a couple minutes a day to build phony buy/sell histories of items you deal in.
Site also wasted a lot of people's time, because rather than just going to EC to pay/get what they felt was reasonable, people felt compelled to waste hours chasing phony prices established by some nerd counting what I said above, only to be undercut by the same nerd.
