Best argument against taking EC prices as being economically rational is the Driftwood Treasure Chest. Twice the price of a tink bag while being worse, while the tink bag is vendor-purchasable and the chest is a motherfucker of a camp.

The bag market does have some nuance to it funnily enough. Some people will pay more for a bag that looks unique, because they hate having multiple bags with the same graphic. They'll buy 1 Tink Bag, 1 Driftwood Chest, 1 Kavruul`s Mystic Pouch, etc. for 8 unique bag graphics, even if the bag itself wasn't worth the plat objectively speaking. Driftwood Treasure Chest has it's higher price due to rarity and unique graphic. If it looked like a Tink Bag, people wouldn't care about it.
The P99 markets are quite consistent. Most items with high supply go down in price over time. There are always exceptions, but even Fungi Tunic isn't immune to supply and demand. If Goblin Ring supply was high like Loramin suggests, it's price would have gone down as well over the past 9 years. Since the price hasn't gone down, that indicates supply is low (i.e. Goblin Ring is rare).
