RE: Reminder to sellers :O
lol there's that, and then there's also the fact that...
JUST BECAUSE IT SOLD AT THAT PRICE DOES NOT MAKE IT THE PRICE OF THE ITEM.
Examples
There was someone desperate for a hodrem card trying to buy one for 10m not too long ago. That is a card that everyone I know who bought it (including myself only a few months ago) bought for 2.5m or so. Now, yeah, with the recent inflation, it's prolly higher. But 4x? Yeah right. Even Pasanas, which were 6m before their original hike, plateaued at 10-12m.
So, why is that person offering 10m for something that they can get for much less? Because that person saving a hodrem for a specific shield they're hunting might go "Hey, I can get another for much less than that" and sell the card. Or, if someone else is adverting for buying one, what seller is gonna chose the lower value? People over-price all the time (Ange sells OBs at 5m when it's generally accepted that they're worth 3-4m, and they do actually sell). Whether it's to encourage people to sell the item to them, or because it's on a vend that will happily sit all hours of the day for that one desperate buyer to pay the OP amount because they need the item. Doesn't change that the price being offered is still higher than the item's worth. The generally accepted price is the value most players (not just a select few) will pay for the item.

no IFs ANDs or XORs.
