You do realize that prices are a dynamic product of supply and demand, yes?

If you have 20 people trying to get the same mats at the same time the price will skyrocket, until the gates cycle, those mats become common, and people are no longer looking for them.

I've seen mat prices vary by more than a factor of ten without drop rates being adjusted or token availability being changed. There is no way to "set" a price.

People who want to sell quick drop their prices low. People who want to make money speculate - and so on.

I've actually raised my prices not because I want to make more money but because I want less buyers. I simply can not heat items fast enough right now. I've sold five or six 5* pieces over the last week and I just finally made myself my first 5* item last night, something I've been avoiding because I didn't want the heat to go to gear I wasn't planning on selling. Finally said to hell with it though.

On a related note, I think a lot of people are selling 4* and 5* items for far too little. Something I have no problem with as 1) it's their loss and 2) there's plenty of demand out there. I'm just curious where people are getting their cost to produce versus their profit figures from.

I can understand the 1-3* stuff going for less than costs because lol UVs. I have 51 Haze Bombs and 30 something Wolver Caps in my inventory now and I have no desire to even pretend I'm going to sell any as they're simply not worth my time. This is to speak nothing of the other stuff I've hunted UVs for. Whoever in Three Rings came up with the idea of UVs was a genius.
