Price Gouging

I suppose i could be classed as your classic price gouger my prices aimed for the twink markets are extremely high. Many people see people like me as "Evil Traders" trying to rip people off. My opinion though is that its not as such the fault of the trader that the prices are high. After all if people didn't pay them they would come down fast enough.

Honestly in real life this is seen all the time. Do you honestly believe when you buy your brand name items over your cheaper alternatives there as much of a difference in quality of the product as the price suggests ??

What you are paying for in truth is nothing more than the brand name. The price for these brand name items it high because people will pay it.. What truly determines the price of an item is the amount of competition the item has and what the public are willing to pay. Hence my advice to those that think price gougers are evil ... look no further than the people willing to pay these prices.

Ok today i managed to grind upto 28th level, not doing to bad i got lucky on some belladonna so wasn't forced to go and do the unspeakable. T3 Advanced books are stupidly expensive and im really struggling to find any good ones , ive bought a couple but they dont have very good recipes in them , mostly bags and abit of cloth armour. Dandilion fibers for the rare armour seem to sell for almost as much as the armour it self so i dont anticipate very good profits there.
