i do understand what oppurtunity cost is its in that post you quoted. but to look at it as a loss is just silly. i have been playing since day one (or day -8 depens on how you look at it) and very early on you could find ppl selling harpoons for 100k on my server this is obviously an oppurtunity cost, but for any hapoons i sell i would need to factor in that at one time this is what ppl would pay for them and any i sell for less than that i sell at a loss. i think there gonig for like 500 to 3000 now, i think im really not sure at all, so ,with the you look at it, im selling them at a huge loss. and you are right the market does determine price but only when the sellers let it.
