I have to disagree.

Quote:
For a quester, wouldn't it also be frustrating to know that the item you quested for and just purchased at X price had suddenly gone down in value?

Live with it. Questers dream of the day when they happen to come across a good deal in the MP for what they are questing. Back when I got my coco (aaages ago when newbs could actually afford it) I scoured the marketplace a couple times a day, hoping that someone would happen to make a mistake in the price when they put it up, or were just feeling nice that day. It's the same in real life. Say you make a big purchase then it goes on sale a week or two later. You're upset, but you live with it. No one can tell the future, you can guess at it and act accordingly, but you just have to live with what it gives you.

Quote:
There will be a sudden jump in the angelbow's price, but after that the price will remain at the union price for longer, allowing questers to have a non-moving target to aim for. Still think it's bad?

Yes. When I was questing, I didn't care if the target moved, I just prayed that it would move down.

Quote:
What we need to keep both buyers and sellers happy is a constant price!

No it doesn't. It just sets things in that Bleh area that happens to fall in the middle. It won't make the rest of the angelbow sellers happy because as time goes on, the demand will rise, but you will force them to keep their prices down. And who's to say when and how much you change the price? Too high, too low, someone is bound to be upset. And this won't keep the buyers happy because it'll force them to compete with you for snatching up the cheap ones when they come on the market.

Quote:
People have bought these things really cheap. Say someone has a hoard of 100, that they release when you AI them. The market for Angelbows would crash, and you'd lose lots of money.

No one has addressed this point yet. It's a valid one. I saw it happen with BTK's a while back.

Quote:
t needs atleast SOME regulation ... and its perfectly fair to make unions like this, it helps raise demande .. plus if we keep the price stable than it wont go UP either ( ie no 8 mil items)

You must live outside the US. Around here we call them monopolies. And no, it's not fair for a bunch of rich people to get together and decide to raise the demand for everyone else.

Quote:
Say this Union actually goes somewhere, and keeps the price stable at 30k.
What if the Union runs out?
Are you going to buy the more expensive ones, to sell at a loss?
I doubt that.
All you're doing is promoting inflation.

Valid point.
Quote:
he has a point ... but if the common price is 30k then who would sell it for 40k or 50k ... noody would but them ... unless your a complete n00b ... we trying to keep it from plummeting!

Except you're completely wrong. Have you ever been to the marketplace? People do set things out at above the average price. Look up absolutely anything in there and you'll see it.

Quote:
excuse mee ... i think i understand economics i little better than you think, esp. since im taking business ...

Quit being petulant. No one cares what classes you are taking, this is Gaia.


Quote:
I'll have to give you that ... in the long run it isnt gonna work ... but were atleast goona try and control the price even its for a little bit

Then what on earth is the point?! Prices stabilize on their own in the short term, save a bit of fluctuation. You said the problem was keeping the prices from inflating. This is a long term effect, and this union cannot 'fix' that.


I know it's a long post, I'm an EDer at heart, but I whole-heartedly disagree with this idea.
