And to answer Flash you can still buy them with Silver if you want to pay a LOT of money...

ANOTHER reason I don't understand why people are bitching. Please go pay your silver for them, PLEASE.

Also Felix, why don't you tell everyone how much profit YOU have personally made off the price being raised...Go ahead, tell them. You bought what, like 25 dyes from me a year ago? At what, 90k a dye?

You have NO problem selling them for like 500-mill a piece, you've even bragged about it, so again, why are you here?
Let me guess, you took econ in college/high school and thus think it applies here? A laughable gesture. The money supply spawns from magical monsters you kill with wizardry on loop, without fault.

The point is you artificially raised the prices from ~400k to 500k+ in a month by making sure a couple auctions closed at a million for a pair. Do I have to search the forum for this? I am quite certain you bought Dark's pair.

I have dyes left, so what? I never resorted to making false bids to raise my prices. I just set the price to where I wanted and sold them. Yet you try and make me sound disingenuous.

I ask again, why are you getting all this gold if you don't even play the game?

Define "play" this game?

I spend quite a bit of time in game...

You don't understand how supply/demand works. We're talking about the supply of hair dyes versus the demand of people, not gold.

Define artificially raising the prices?

You do realize they sold for 30k at the start of CUB, right?

30,000 gold per dye. They sold for 50k towards the end, then they sold for 100k, then 150, now they sell for 500 easily.

Am I to blame for this price raise? I think not.

Stop trying to stir up trouble. You're irritating, and you like to run your mouth about anything that will bring you a few seconds of fame.

None of you know ANYTHING about how this UO economy/supply/demand system works. You don't. Know how I know that? Because you're not rich. You're not rolling in gold. I know a number of people here that roll in gold. I know a number of them that farmed their way to that point, and some who played markets and sold shit. Are all of them good at PVP? How the hell do I know. Why does that matter?

Look at Everlynn...the guy just sold 15 million+ worth of goods, how? He pushed his sales, and didn't bargain with the creeps. If you were too poor, you stayed the fuck out.

Look at Halogen/Bigoud and the vendors that sit next to Yew and moon gates...if you can't figure out how stuff in those locations sells versus a random house 7 screens down the street, you're an idiot.

So here's what I have to say to you Felix, if you don't like my prices, stay the fuck out.

And for the record, that auction was pussy canceled. Never saw those dyes, my bids were NOT honored. Pretty sure that's lame tactics if I've ever seen so myself...if I did that I'd be ostracized for doing price checks with real auctions...never saw the hate for that.

I havent seen you on the field in *years*. I saw you once with Crab Juice in Deceit, you failed miserably to energy wall me in so he could try and PK me. Point is, you are pixel hoarding from inside your castle, which is cowardly and apparently disingenuous.

How did you obtain your gold again (is Luca right about you)? Why are you obtaining so much gold again?

You are not responding to why you bid on dyes less than a month ago and now are selling them when we know you have hundreds of them. Yes prices raised from CUB until today, irrelevant. You challenged BeatingU's cred (easy way out) but did not respond to his claim, and thus my elaboration has you all worked up.

PS, your appeal to authority arguments about S/D are getting even funnier. I love how you just edited out the part where you claim to being "flithy UO rich". Maybe you are projecting something here...

I'll attempt to break this down into a logical argument.

You know of, one of my characters. You have no idea who I am. Again, you're using the "You don't PVP so you don't play" argument. Damn, guess because I don't actively PVP I don't play.

You claim rare collecting is cowardly? Wtf?

What does Luca say about me?

I like gold. Who doesn't?

If I see an opportunity to buy lower than what I sell, I'm going to take it, who wouldn't?

What "claim" did BeatingU make? That I was artificially raising prices? Stop acting like I'm not answering your question. You can pretend to be deaf, but I know you're not blind.

I edited nothing out, instead I added about 4 lines...

KEEP making faulty assumptions, they entertain me.

Ehh not falling for anymore trolling here. So Ill just respond to the above. You did not buy lower, you instead set the price higher.

You try for a squeaky clean image, but its not. You increased the going rate for dye from ~400k to 500k. I know you are not responding to this because its true :)

Everlynn got rich by doing idocs and breaking people's trust (see Bigoud).

You got rich by exploiting CUB (heating stands from memory? Causing Derrick some headache) and buying gold for $.

Your exploits are what are getting you rich, not your supply and demand.

lol

Trolling?

Felix, you make no sense.

And your faulty assumptions are sad...

You're clearly uneducated...

Heating stands? Turned the 3 in my keep in during CUB, that's about all I can remember.

Setting the price at 500? I set the price on hair dyes now? Shit, I'm going to start asking a mill per dye then!

Buying gold? - Evidence, please. Last I heard, someone told me YOU were selling it...guess I missed that on my list of potential dealers?

Having just finished a business degree, the curves of economics do apply here. UO does a good job of emulating real life scenarios.
