It's not that simple, honestly. You're not factoring in the fact that even if the population remains stable, people make new characters every day, and those characters buy all new items.

If that's the only economy you know of google the phrase "economic systems". Not trying to talk down to you. I wish more people understood the diversity of economics.

P99 does have supply and demand. If Fungi's stopped dropping tomorrow, they would be 500k+. Drums of the beast went from 250k to ~100k in less than a year and still dropping because even though it's a BIS droppable item there wasn't enough bards that give a shit. If the population doubled tomorrow, the price of everything would go up. If there are multiple people in EC trying to sell the same item and no one is buying they will start undercutting each other, what is that if not supply and demand?
There are exceptions, and like I said fat cat manipulation and stupidity plays a large part, but supply and demand is the guiding principle.
