Everything should stay 2k. :I

Muff, that wouldn't solve anything.

If a few people started selling at insanely low prices, what would stop the "elitist aristocracy" with insane amounts of aurum from snatching the low-priced items up from the less fortunate users and selling the items back to the populace at large later at insanely inflated prices?

I like to go by the price guide and see other users going by it too.
Sure, I did overpay for the two Dragon Lord I got, but that is because I was Really, Really, Really, Really, etc wanting the item and willing to pay that much to get them as there did not seem to be many sellers of them at the time.
I agree that prices should not inflate too much over the price guide, and that after a few months, the prices of past items will tend to increase because of the time that has passed.

I am always seeming to be in need of Au, so always looking for people to chat with and extras in my inventory to sell. I really like how the achievements allow Anka tokens to create a new source of currency.

The only way to regulate a market would be to control the prices of items as a whole. As it says in basic economics, an item is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay. If the buyers themselves refused to pay inflated prices then the prices would have to drop to the desired level of buyers. Along with this a increasing amount of pure that is floating through the current market right now also drives prices up. This ofcourse problem has been addressed with the reduced amount of aurum for forum games posts along with the expensive special items inserted into shops. Along with these two the monthly aurum item also is a pure sink in a sense. The only thing that could hurt the trisphee economy more than ever would be the installment of runes cards or something. They only end up messing up the economy honestly. But thats my view as an exchanger along with my basic economic knowledge : )

inflation happens if there is not enough supply of items people need,. I think the old announcement told that if every year all the items will be back in the shop for a while for some people to get it

This is why I kind of left the site for a while. Things I wanted inflated fast. I saw another Crysandrea happening and it made me sad :(

For me it's on of the reasons why I go for common items in merchant square instead of DIs is because DIs can inflate to stupid amounts, but when it comes to commons get deflated

Finally another person who understands the horrors of the crys market.

The crys market is a mockery of it's old self...

Here is the issue in our market:

Price guide- "This item is worth 10K"
Person who wants to make sure they get the item NOW- "I WILL PAY 40K FOR THIS NOW!"
Person selling-"KK! HERE YA GO~!" *sells to*
Other person- "Oh, kk, the price guide must be wrong ,that item isn't worth 10K, it's worth 40k"

We've gone past the point of supply in demand, it's turned into "Jack that shit up as high as possible, watch them flail and laugh"

This is why I like auctions, and why we don't let auctions have no definite end~

I personally will try and pay between the low end and high end of what an item is going for in the price guide so if the low end is 4k and the high end is 6k I usually try and get it for 5k.

I understand what is being said, because at one point I wanted a kitsune mas and the seller was wanting 20k for it and I'm thinking 'seriously... I think not'

Two points I have to state

Price guides only reflect what people are paying for an item, thats kind of why they are called "Guides" Just because they list a price doesn't mean you get to point at them and yell at someone that their prices are wrong.

Just as in real life I would never tell you what to do with YOUR money. On some sites it is a rule that you cannot tell someone what to sell THEIR items for.

Second - I sold this months items for 2.5k each because that is the exact price the Bedside Manner is. I assumed that since that was set at 2.5k it meant that the other two items would be worth the same in Trisphee money.

I was very surprised when someone offered me double for one Rave. I don't get to buy things a lot here and had no idea people were paying twice as much as the third item in the donation shop costs.

Belial, that's how the monthly items were intended to work. For a while, the current rune items were worth the same as the aurum item and it was beautiful. But since a few people hold all the runes and everyone is desperate for them, people started paying more for runes, and therefore, for the rune items.

Yep...

In fact, it was even cheaper at one point to buy runes than the ADI- I was getting 1K-10 rates for a while XD

But yeah, pretty much, now a few people hold a lot of runes every month, and everybody clamors for them... I jump on the things I want when I see them early on, then let everyone fend for themselves the rest of the month, because I'm that tired of our market XD

>w<. I struggle getting the items I want.
I have the aurum to get them, but I fail to find sellers. XD

Why does everyone overexagerate about the 1k per 20 runes?
They were charities that ran to help people who couldn't donate get runes. Some only allowed you to buy 40 runes every week/month. While some just sold as many as they can as long as you had never been able to buy runes.

I agree are market sucks and the only way to balance it out is to have more people selling runes. People may beg a differ but there is no stopping another persons greed. And for the record greed is neither bad or good it's just something everyone bears and has.

I will have to contradict you, I do agree that you can't stop a person's greed, but greed is BAD. It makes most people suffer there is no way to belittle greed as saying it's neutral, IT IS NOT.
