Lol @ tunnelquesters "ruining the game" by "jacking prices up".

Fungi 40k
GEBs 1.5k
Sarnak Shield 2k
Ikky BP 8k

Prices SO high

I don't really understand why people get mad at the price they (or other people) are willing to pay for things.

If it's not worth it to you, don't buy it. If enough people agree then the price will come down. If some people value the item more than you then you have no reason to complain; you were out-bidded!

The majority of items in game are still available for you to go out and earn yourself (provided you are willing to put in the time and effort). If you aren't willing to do that then, again, it's not worth it to you so why get mad?

It's not accurate because it has nothing to do with sales. It is not a record of sales. It has no knowledge of the actual price sales are conducted at.

The core problem is that there are a lot of nutty people out there that don't understand that it is just a collection of Offer prices and aren't willing to negotiate or consider that the list of Offer prices on P99 does not contain any evidence of actual sales.

Prices can't keep inflating if the population is decreasing. Great time to reinvigorate the player base with PvP teams <3

I think the prices are fairly accurate but it's best to use it as a ballpark guide than an ironclad price. There are exceptions, though. Some item prices are so established that you don't see fluctuation even on the auction site. HQ pelts for example are *almost* always 30p.

Gotta have some starting point for discussion. p99auction is as good a place as any. I'm always instantly suspicious of anyone who tries to claim they aren't right. How would they know? I'm supposed to trust Random Guy X that he's representing his all-day tunnelquesting to my benefit? If you believe that I have some swampland in Arkansas you might be interested in.

Neither site really accounts for haggling done behind the scenes. The prices are just the "sticker price."
