The market sucks

[Dantes]

Yup. 500pp for Dwarven Work Boots. 150pp for ONE jagged band. 200pp for a PGT. Ridiculous.

Prices are what the market will bear. You aren't required to buy everything listed, and I certainly wouldn't seeing as how it's overpriced by 25% usually.
Some prices are up (lol Dark Reavers) because of demand for the 30000 new SKs and SK alts rolled.

Know what to farm, and where to farm it, and you're just fine.

Awesome double post there, and I can't edit it because of RnF.

I have no clue how many people I have financed with my tradeskill addiction through buying hundreds of stacks of spidersilk, spiderling silk, eggs, etc.

Hmm, so if an item farmer was smart, they would spread some sort of disinformation about what the class du jour is, and make bank selling the class du jour popular items off. How many SK's are there now?

another this an emulator so all items are worthless post? I never understood these, if the emulator server doesn't mean anything to you, don't play on it.

Or does paying $15 a month make an fbss worth more?

A few random points:

a) Everything is worth exactly how much some sucker will pay for it. Overpriced shit will not sell until the seller drops the price low enough for an interested buyer to send a tell. The only way to bring prices down is for people to stop buying overpriced shit at the advertised prices. However, see (c)

b) The advertised price isn't always what the item sells for after haggling via /tells, which is going to be based on how long the seller wants to stand there auctioning his/her overpriced shit.

c) If the market is overpriced and stays that way without reaching equilibrium, it's because there's an overabundance of level 50's with cash to burn inflating the market on their alts, creating a heavy barrier to entry for non-50 buyers that are levelling up to 50 for the first time without access to that sort of plat from HG/phat lewt farming.
