If you bought that thing for 50m, and by your moral standards, you'd pay him 50% more out of guilt, that's still not the 500m market value that the seal cushion has.Wouldn't pay more than 500k for any chair in the game. So in that case if its market value is 500m I'd be ripping him off by about 0.1% of the real value.
Quote:So why does the same principle not apply to 50% lower? Logic goes both ways. If you toss it in your store for 50% lower and someone buys it, that's their choice.I put stuff in the store in case someone needs them (opportunity cost for availability), not cause I want to sell. If I want to sell, I do go 50% lower, and usually it sells fast.
Quote:That's how I sell it for. That's how most merchants sell for, unless they're someone rich enough to afford waiting for a long time for something to sell.
So let's say you bought a glove atk 60% scroll for 5m, with the intent of using it, and then suddenly you feel like you don't want it anymore. You'd be happy with me buying it at 2.5m and "ripping you off"? I smell contradiction.
If while I was holding it, the market value of GA60% dropped to 3m then yes, I would sell it to you for 2.5m. I'm talking about natural changes in value, not turning around and selling immediately for lower than what I bought it for.
& there's a difference between 5mil vs. 2.5mil and the majority of stuff in here. There's so much variation in some item prices that a 50% difference would barely be noticed. When it's in the 90-95% off range, something's obviously wrong with the seller, and I'm not gonna burn him on the deal for it.
Quote:Technically, you are not adding value to the game, you are taking it away. When the supply becomes numerous, such as what happened quite visibly during the gacha box event, the value of that particular item drops.situation 1: 1 person has a 4 atk cape
situation 2: 10 people have a 4 atk cape
Which of those is there more total wealth? The second one. Adding items to the economy just shifts the balance toward item value, meaning the number of mesos per item decreases, because there is not an equivalent increase in the number of mesos. Only the total value of the items in the game increases.
Quote:That is an extremely laughable statement. You don't like seeing other people getting the good deals but you're pissed when you can't find them.I don't like seeing someone buying every overall int 60% and putting them up for 40mil each. Whether they got a good deal doesn't even matter, they can sell for any price.
