Lol at this tard price gouging because "A LOT" of people have "A LOT OF MONEY SITTING AROUND". Ok derppppp, just because they have a lot of money sitting around doesn't mean they are going to blow a huge chunk of it on an item that has hardly any game changing stats. It's not like that idol will make a warrior all of a sudden a god at tanking. I crack up when these idiots try and price gouge just because they think these rich power gamers will throw there money in any direction to have an item early on in the game. Sell the damn item for what it should be worth, nobody gives a rats ass that you got one early. Like people trying to sell Ornate Rune Shield for 30k a week ago when they should of just listed it for 5k and been done with it. Stop trying to rob people blind because you think everyone is an impulsive child on here when it comes to their spending.

People throw out the term "price gouging" when ever they just don't like the price of an item or don't have enough to afford it. There is a little thing called supply and demand. When you are the first/only seller of a particular item you can name your price. If just one person wants that first item and is willing to pay that price to be "the first", then the transaction should be completed. Otherwise the first seller will have to drop his price until a willing buyer is found. After that first sale, if no one else in that economy is willing to pay that initial price, the second one on the market will necessarily have to come down in price. Once enough of the particular item has entered the market, it will come to an equilibrium of supply and demand and a normal price range will be solidified (granted there will be people willing to sell for less to dump fast and people willing to pay more to acquire quickly).
Cliffs: You either buy the item at the price asked, make a counter, or go without. There is no need to continue to call out people for selling items.
P.S. To the people claiming this is a TMO sale need to step back from their keyboards and take a breath; the OP is obviously anonymous and never mentioned which guild they may or may not be associated with of the 3 (or more) that have been in Droga since the Kunark launch. Additionally, the OP may even be *gasp* a reseller from someone else that was at the camp. Anything posted by the trolls in this thread is purely speculation, unfounded rumors, and extreme jealously.
