Crazy Mark-up :D

Went to my shop and was about to tinker the price on my Gremlin Arms (m) when I checked the mark-up.

Either its a market exploiter to bump up the price

Or someone just had a real bad day with the buy it now button

Ban them for what? its a free market, and not against the EULA in any way...

Also, if items cost more, there will be more cash bound in the game...

doesnt work that way, same with the pumpkin lantern, some day it was sold for +200 and we all placed them on auction for +50 because the average was that high but they just wont sell.

I know, but it was still not very clever of me to TT something that sells for even 20ped markup, well well, I learn by my mistakes (sometimes ).

My last post was quite ironic, but I should have posted some smilis in there to clearify that
