The EC manipulation is funny to watch. At least with beads, pendants, etc are limited to a set number with no possibility of future supply, unlike 99% of other items in this game that should only go down in price, but somehow get manipulated up.

A recent example, although it's a lot cheaper item, is Spider Fur belt. It was a ~1k item for months, now suddenly it's 3-4k. Did the demand suddenly skyrocket? Nope. Did the drop rate get nerfed? Nope. It was just some guy spamming "WTS spider fur belt 3k" everyday until other people followed suit, then the same guy started with "WTS spider fur belt 5k" auctions.
