You can have an item that no longer drops but isn't strong / useful. Supply is low but demand is low as well - price stays low. Example: Gem Encrusted Ring.

You can have an item that still drops but is strong / useful. Demand outmatches the supply - price is high. Example: AoN, Fungi, Left Goblin Ear (yes, 30 plat per common, stackable lvl 20 mob drop is a damn high price).

Don't skip them economics classes!

I understand. I was pointing out that his idea that the item's "strength" is the sole determiner of its price. Obviously isn't true.
