YAY! I found it
What doesnt make sense to me is this. In Broa, dark scrolls are EVERYWHERE. 95% of the shops (and thats not a made up number, I go through entire FM once every day or two) are packed to the gills with dark scrolls, yet their prices are steadily rising.
Economics teaches supply and demand. More supply should equal competitive prices. Just look at gas. Everywhere around me is 4.10 a gallon. One gas station down the street made their gas 3.95, and everyone and their mother went there for gas.
So whats up with Broa's economy? Everything is on the rise. Stars, scrolls, equips.
Equips. That irks me too. I bought my 47 atk Dark Rab for about 15mil a few months ago, Im reselling it for 25mil. Of course, this benefits me, but brings up an interesting point. With more scrolls in the market, and obviously more scrolling going on, godly items are popping up everywhere. Yet prices of scrolled equips have clearly gone up. Wouldn't the increase of well scrolled items even out their price? Not drive it up the wall?
I have a slight theory, and I want people's opinion on it. And the thing causing the economy to go to hell: Stupidity and Wealth
Think about it. Some idiot places a scroll in his shop for an outrageous price. Lets say 5mil above the standard market price. Some lazy ass with countless billions sees the scroll, is too lazy to find it cheaper, and buys it. Then everyone that visits the shop sees that the scroll was bought at that price.
OMG! I HAVE THAT SCROLL TOO! They run and change the prices. Now everyone is selling it at that price. Pretty soon, no one is selling it at the old price, and people get fed up searching for one at that low price, swallow hard and buy it anyway. Congratz: One idiot, and one wealthy idiot have successfully altered the FM
Rinse, repeat
That's only one theory. The other could be that the economy is finally feeling the hit from the PG hacker meso inflation, which in turn leads to my stupidity/wealth idea.
Another example. Tobis. These were 500k~600k for the longest time, as long as I can remember. Within the last two weeks, the price sky-rocketed to 1.2mil.... And now the FM is packed with people selling Tobi, trying to make cash. This goes back to supply and demand. The new price has shown us that in shop after shop (in accompny with dark scrolls) there is plenty of Tobi in Broa....so how is the price hiking up? Same for steely. Rooms 1~6, you will find at least 2 or 3 shops packed with Steely. Certainly no shortage, why the price hike? (up 1.7mil from a few weeks ago)
