Tangent: inflated prices can indeed be annoying, but not half as annoying as smartasses who /ooc stuff like "WTB whatever [seller] is smoking for asking that much." Newsflash, some sellers aren't playing every waking moment and are sometimes not actually trying to gouge people, but are taking their best guess (and I've seen plenty of price checks go ignored).
Bugs me to see people taking cheap shots at each other over pricing, when it's pretty clear the EQ economy rarely makes any sense and mistakes (high and low) are going to happen.

It's all part of the auction game... taking a shot at getting the market price lowered by ridiculing enough people selling X at price Y and causing them to think they won't sell their shit at price Y. Which of course is the counter-strategy to the ol' "ask for price check and have a random buddy or two shout out some overpriced amount so your price seems legit" tactic trying to get the market price raised, or the newly-discovered "use the forums to perpetuate a false need for class Z on the server so all the rich, bored level 50's make alts of class Z and create a better market for all your class Z-usable shit for sale."
All part of the "a sucker is born every minute" game.
