Maximum price for Beads

[fastboy21]

As long as new players come to the server this item will go up in price.

The supply of HEBs on the market is slowly decreasing while the demand for them remains high --- and always will be.

All the folks talking about how the price is too high and saying things like just use stalking probes are trying to push their own idea of the value for the item on others. I wouldn't quite call bullshit on the 350k eyes folks are claiming to have sold, but I can easily imagine the value of this item being a legit 200k for a full time monk or necro atm.

Remember that when someone is selling an item like the HEBs they aren't trying to offer the item to what most people would be willing and able to pay. They are pricing the item for the 1 or 2 folks that are willing and able to pay a huge price for the HEBs. They can get away with this price-making because there are so few eyes for sale.
It doesn't matter if 99.999% of players wouldn't pay 200k for HEBs, you only need one consumer for each eye on the market.

Add in inflation as well, sad but true. At what point will this server be too difficult for new players to climb the economy ladder?

ps: not sold yet.

item price based on strength of item, very simple. topor, HEB , bio orb, fungi, fungi staff, ect.. these items give Unique effects and cost a lot becasue something has to cost alot.

I'd grant custody to the fact that if shaman spells were cheap then the server would be 50% shamans instead of 35%

If this is true than the item no longer dropping wouldn't cause a change in price....or do you think its a coincidence that the price took off when they removed it from the game? Surely, the "strength" of the item didn't increase at all.

It's all supply and demand, literally nothing else.

Item being strong means there's more demand.

Item no longer dropping means there's less supply.



You can have an item that no longer drops but isn't strong / useful. Supply is low but demand is low as well - price stays low. Example: Gem Encrusted Ring.

You can have an item that still drops but is strong / useful. Demand outmatches the supply - price is high. Example: AoN, Fungi, Left Goblin Ear (yes, 30 plat per common, stackable lvl 20 mob drop is a damn high price).

Don't skip them economics classes!

I understand. I was pointing out that his idea that the item's "strength" is the sole determiner of its price. Obviously isn't true.

is this a The Price is Right thing where the closest without going over wins?

The more we talk about this, the more it'll go up right? The traders at it again.

I don't think it would play any role. The item is already so expensive, only people who know what they are doing are concerned.

And these guys usually know the market, or know somebody who knows the market or will do their homework and get a fair selling or buying price given the current market conditions.

I really wonder, though, how high this thing can go. 750k as a future price doesn't sound that unreasonable today, does it? But on an absolute scale, that's an ABSOLUTE SHITLOAD of money for the average p99 player which hasn't been autistically accumulating wealth 7/24 for years.
