Wow. There is NO way...

A +1 dex tome.... 40KPP!

Watching the AH, the prices are just soaring way up! This is getting absolutely nuts...

The Dex tome was just the start....next thing I know, there is a +1Int Tome for 100kpp!!!

Luckily I got some good deals on some tomes from some Common sense people in Marketplace... but my constant searching in the AH for various items is slowly coming to a close as it is just getting too ridiculous. For you new players that don't have the money to spend...HAHA Good Luck! At this rate...your screwed. xD

There needs to be some kind of official pricing guide...that can help people regulate prices. Not really sure if it will help, but DANG! There is NO way I will EVER spend 100kpp for a +1int tome. ABSOLUTELY not. Some of these other tomes are higher than str tomes that are usually higher anyways...

Well... I guess I shouldn't complain too much. I can now throw a item on there for usual price and usually always get it sold... but when people don't know that 'usual' price and look to see them at 40kpp-100kpp, things are just going to get way out of control...(as if they aren't already)

Anyways. /rant off

Good luck on your future AH buys.

The Auction House is not a fair indication of Market Value, and never will be.

Also take into consideration that newer players will look on the AH to see what amount to post something for and see all the very high plat-farmer/crackhead prices and use that number.

Yupp...

Back in my days, a good tome was 20k. Gold, that is.

Nowadays, you kids are paying 20 times that! MADNESS! GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!

That whole "Plat is the new gold!" thing turbine oh so long ago really F'd us up. 10x the price for the same items and no one noticed until their purses were empty.

[stoolcannon]

Try Ghallanda where a single chipmunk funk is 110-200k depending on the day and large scales are 750+

[NinjaNeed]

This is a good idea, but just remember, something is only worth as much as someone else will pay for it!!!

[Culver.Civello]

There just needs to be some kind of regulation of AH prices. I kinda feel sorry for the new players wanting to get some decent items... at this rate, the AH will be way out of their league until they get to those quest in the higher levels that actually gives a decent amount of Plat from items....

Just creating a giant gap.

am i the only one that doesnt eat +1 tomes? hell beyond the new chrono gear i didnt even twink until lvl 9 as 1-9 takes a day regardless of toon/gear and i eat all my tomes at 7... i guess im just a power gamer so +1 tomes dont make sense to me at all since in a few hours ill be able to eat +2s... and yes im refering to double TRs not toons fresh off the boat.

Agreed, but some people don't play long. I had a friend of mine take about a month to get to 7. lol. That, and there have been some builds I've used personally that I've used a quick +1tome to fill the build out for a certain feat early on. It all really depends I guess.

[rest]

i list all my +1 tomes 7.5k start 17.5k buyout. sometimes they sell immediately. sometimes in 3 days. Doesn't bother me either way. I don't bother with +1 tomes anymore.

am i the only one that doesnt eat +1 tomes?

I can understand why a Wizard might eat a +1 Tome at level 3 since she is putting her level up points into Int and that will give her an extra couple of permanent skill points on her character, but for anything else, I really don't see the need for a +1 stat tome.

You'll be level 7 by the end of the week anyway. Why not wait for that?

[backwards day]Your suggestion worked very well at keeping prices low and supply adequate for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.[/backwards day]

Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it. This is the ultimate law of all economic activity.

If that tome isn't worth the price listed, then no one will buy it. Problem solved.

I had an ML 10 +1 Paralyzing Longbow that I had put Frost on during the Ice games. I needed to do some inventory shuffling and I didn't want that bow to get sold or lost during the shuffle, so I parked it on the AH for 300,000 plat so that I could get it back in the mail the next day when I was ready to use it. I put it up for 300,000 plat since I didn't want anyone to buy it and I couldn't be bothered to run back to the mailboxes while I was doing all this.

Someone bought it.

I don't know why someone would pay 300,000 plat for an ML 10 +1 Paralyzing Longbow with the added Frost (it wasn't even Icy Burst), but they did. I went shopping for a replacement Paralyzing bow and I paid MUCH less than 300,000 for its replacement. I'll put Icy Burst on it in a couple of weeks.

Who knows why some people put up auctions for such a rediculous price. Who knows why some people buy some of the garbage I put up on the AH occasionally?

That's the beauty of the free market. Everyone gets to choose what they are willing to sell and everyone gets to choose what they are willing to buy.
