prices of Respec stones

[Sorao]

how can ppl justify asking for 20p for a respec stone.

and dont say the old saying of Supliy and demand. cos there is 29 of them for sale on cms price ranges from 14-20p. what has made the price of them rise by so much as pre TOA they where only 7p. so they have doubled almsot tripled in price. and tbh with all MLS and stuff they sould be easyer to get now. anyone got any idea?

or is it jsut a case of all albs are fucking greedy bastads ? as normal with everything else that is for sale ?

or is it jsut a case of all albs are fucking greedy bastads?

Or is it just a case of all whiners can't be arsed to arrange their own raids?

Prices are set at whatever the owners think are fair. If you don't like the price, don't buy it. If you don't like the price and need a stone, go farm your own instead of wasting bandwidth here.

When I come to sell anything on my CM I will either:
(a) put it on at a price that guarantees it will sell quickly: lower than everyone else, then progressively cheaper until it sells.
(b) put it on at a price that I consider to be 'an offer I can't refuse': Items that I *might* want to use and are impossible for me to obtain on my own.

I imagine most people use a similar logic, and since respec stones fall under category (b) I would put one for sale at 20p if I were selling one.

 

[Sorao]

logic yes but explain how there price has doubled if not tripled since the release of TOA ?

and if they puting it on to sell them why is there still 29 left at 20p

jsut greedy albs wanting more then thigns are worth

probs same ppl that sell diamond seals for 15g each i bet

Suppy and demand.

Few raids = few stones = high prices.
You want cheaper stones, organise your own raids.

 

[Duzic]

+the fact its much easier 2 farm arties and put um on CMs at retarded prices, takes longer 2 farm dragon with FG hence putting price up

u could i mean could even tho its megahard make a FG and go farm it urself

 

[trycorn]

and let's face it, u actualy need to know what to do @ the dragon in toa its just go on vos and do what its said in there...
tbh if i wanted a respec stone i would go buy 1, cba to go kill the lizard / sidi, its rly just to boring, rather go kill some mob's get a ubah scroll sell and buy a stone...

 

[Sorao]

Suppy and demand.

Few raids = few stones = high prices.
.

suppy u mean suply and demand

ok so u saying very low supply as few raids ok

then demand must be rly rly rly high as less stones

well on 2 points u must be wrong and retarded

as there is 29 stones on cms atm

that a) shows that there is no real major demand for them

and B) somone must be doing a lot of raids to get that many and also demand is down as other wise they all would be bort up

and noone has yet answered my main question why on gods earth has prices doubled if not tripled since the release of TOA

 

[Sparkimus]

suply and demand

would be bort up

somone must be doing

a) if you're going to rip the piss outta someone's spelling, get it right yourself.

b) who cares, it's a game, not a way of life, if you spend 20p on a respec stone does it mean you can't eat for a week? No!

 

[trycorn]

29 stone's r much ? well the lizard drop's 25 so no that aint much rly...
and since toa release well simple peeps cba to farm him as its ez to farm toa and buy a stone...
and tbh why do ppl have an arti or something on their CM 4 99P ?? cos if u arnt sure if u r gonna use it u might aswell get some nazty buck's if some1 is so needed to pay that much...

 

[Dafft]

that or farm lowbie sidi mobs & hope to god a single drops

LOL Pwned

Something that also gets the prices higher and higher is inflation. There is now so much money in the game, that a stone that costs 15plat now is just as expensive as a stone that cost 7plat 5 months ago.

Money is also continuously pumped into the game by people who buy money from ebay. The days where you made a few plat salvaging hard earned diamond seal equipment and were king of the world are over.

 

[Methos]

There's an obscene amount of cars, standing on lots, waiting to be sold. Does that mean their price has to go down to the price of a bread?

Yesterday it took us 42 minutes to get dragon down, with 2fg. Stop being lazy and organise a DR yourself.

 

[Erulin]

Supply and demand really is a big issue. Back when it was first discovered it took 24 albs to kill the dragon on the US servers, pricesses came down like mad.

Ended up being 100 gp = RA, 200 gp = single line, 300 gp's = Full respec.

But then the dragon died many many times a week.

Pricesses would have surely rissen had there not been so many stones available

On the question of why prices have risen so much from the 7 plat TOA...

Firstly they HAVEN'T risen nearly as much as you suggest. In the last few months I've seen full respecs for as low as 8plat. I regularly see them for 11-14 plat and if you have the patience to check every day for two weeks or so, you'll quite easily get one for 10P. Taking the (nearly) upper price of 20p and using it as the base figure to conclude that prices have 'nearly tripled' is ridiculous.

And the reason Prices go up at all like Gribz0r said, is inflation. I can't agree that its powered by ebay etc. as the money comes from real players in the first place. But its not hard to see that as the population pool's collective wealth increases simply due to mob killing, trinketing, and everything else that gives raw cash - so prices will go up also.

 

[Sorao]

cos there is 29 of them for sale on cms price ranges from 14-20p. what has made the price of them rise by so much as pre TOA they where only 7p. so they have doubled almsot tripled in price.

so when did i said 20p as a base then ?

doubled = yes they have cheapest on tehr weas 14p so 7+7 is 14
and the ones at 20p are almsot triple the price they once where

 

[trycorn]

well CM prices r mostly overpriced tbh, there is allmost allways a guy running around selling some in CS etc, take the 1s on 20 P triple ye, but do they sell ? no...
last time i bought a stone it was 4 10P witch is a fair price tbh, im 100% sure that if u took back where they where 7P worth there where still some 4 sale 4 20P...

 

[Gordonax]

The prices are high because no one does dragon raids anymore. Pre-ToA, there was at least two dragon raids every week and often more. Post-ToA there's almost none.

 

[Draylor]

how can ppl justify asking for 20p for a respec stone.

Because people are stupid enough to pay it.

Killing the dragon is piss easy, but people are too stupid to do it. Those that can profit.

Go get some yourself and sell them cheaply if you want to change things - or just whine if your not capable
