Prices wont sky rocket, they may go up for a bit or stay as they are but eventually they must go down, again Supply vs. Demand. People will sell for what people will pay for a certain item, this is how it always has been.
Something comes out that is new and rare, you better believe that it will be high priced, but when the market starts to get saturated with any type of item, Example would be a Fungi Tunic, the prices will gradually go down.
Mind you it wont go down fast, it will be gradual, and it all depends on how long the person selling the item is willing to sit in EC spamming what they are selling. This is another one of those economy caps, the time vs profit scenario.
Take the Paw of Opalla as a example, some people want to sell it for top dollar, say 2k, and are willing to sit for a day or two selling it till they get their asking price. Now take the second person, he would like the 2k but is unwilling to stay in EC longer than a few hours, sells it for 1k. Same goes for any item out there, does not matter what it is, Paw or Fungi, Time willing to spend vs. Profit gained. This is another one of those things that drive the economy and will always drive it.
