Come on people!!!

I don't believe that the value of a w/p rapier is going anywhere.
The new Mod has some ice giants that are 'immne to some types of stat damage', but fall dead in Cloudkill.

The raid will be dracoliches.

We'll still be grinding the other big 4 raids, of which w/p rapiers are very usefull in 3.

My perspective.

As for the topic - It is ridiculous what people want for rapiers. Reminds me of the Greataxe situation about 6 months ago. Silly.

I don't even mind if someone posts a rapier for a ridiculous price.

What gets me are the people that continually repost their cr*p, at the same price, when nobody's buying. That **** rapier I mentioned has been up there constantly for over a month, the entire time not going down in price.....

LOL it doesnt mess with the economy if nobody buys it, think people.

We are thinking, but apparently you aren't. A lot of people pull an item and don't know what to price it at on the AH, so they GO to the AH for guidance. When they see exhorbitantly priced items there, they too price their items exhorbitantly. If someone doesn't know how to price an item on the AH what makes you think they can distinguish between who's storing items and those items' true value?

Think. Then post.

and if there are 100 listed on there for a million plat and nobody buys them...
that is ruining your economy???
And what if one person does buy one for a million platinum?
how does that one transaction destroy your economy???
did you lose out on something??
no....so dont even try to reason it out..you are not thinking again.
I think you are you just running with the crowd..and you read some where this does that
so it must be true.

I thought Parvo whipped you if you looked at the AH

why would he care what i do with characters on another server....or the ones not in MV??
and again my post was to state why others post items with high bid amounts, again not what i do.

You don't have a very firm grasp of economics, do you?

And this nonsense about parroting? Spare me please. I do have an economics degree, I am a long time futures trader, among the fastest price action in the world. So please, if we're going to talk about price action in an open market, don't just ramble on defending the indefensible.

Actually 1 being bought at that price does set the standard for that market. Take a house in your neighborhood going up for sale. Lets say the average price for housing in your area is 350k. Now somebody comes in and decides they don't want to haggle they really love the house and they want to move in next week so they pay 500k for your trouble and short time. Guess what, every house in your area is now going to get a price increase due to that one purchase.
