I just saw recently that Boutik has very reasonable prices for some items. I saw him selling IFS for 4k. I cannot see how that is price gouging in any way. So what if he bought it from some dude in a hurry for 3k? Also Emissary of Thule for 5k. Wasn't the going rate 15k a year ago? Glad to see people are still selling it for people in need.
Love to buy from you sometime.

Because he lowballs people to buy those items, preying on impatient/instant gratification folks who take a hit to sell quick. He also spoofs the price listings on the P99 wiki which many use as reference in order to set price normalcy.
Every time I try to sell something in EC he shows up with some lowball offer. I just ignore him. If I know someone is a tunnel rat I don't sell to them and I don't make deals. Otherwise you better believe I'll negotiate and reduce the price.
I do this not because I view tunnel ratting as inherently wrong (I did it for a time to get established here), but because, historically, many of the major tunnel ratters and 24/7 plat hustlers have been RMT kingpins. So it's a bit of experiential prejudice on my part. That and I'm rarely in any hurry to sell.
I also just plain don't like the guy from his behavior in-game and in this thread.
