In a sense this is true, and although I don't have a lot of knowledge of economics, I think the answer is simple: there is a reasonable expectation that people have for certain items/spells, and if they don't get that price they simply keep the item in bank until they do.

Secondly, the supply/demand thing seems to work only if there is a seller who is always wanting to sell stuff because of a duty to make money for shareholders or for him/herself. Here there is no real need to constantly be making money like there is in real life.

Unfortunately, a lot of these reasons are when someone sees shaman on a spell, dollar signs flash in front of their eyes. Even a useless common spell like Acumen sells for 500+ when it drops all the time, everywhere. Now I don't know anyone who would pay that, but people just have this expectation that shaman spells are rare when its only true of Howler, Bane, and Pox. The rest are pretty easy to find.
