    Is it against the TOS to repost irems on the MB?

    Say a player purchase 10 items at 70k then reposts them at 250k one at a time to control the supply and price on a server of a particular item.

    Is this type of behavior against the TOS? Is this something a GM could look into?

    "Buy low, sell high, profit"

    That's a common mentality, isn't it? I don't think it's against the ToS.

    It's impossible for anyone one person to control a market 100%, because the supply is infinite.

    No matter what item someone else is selling--you can obtain one and sell it too. They're never have a monopoly on it. If someone is selling 380 crafted gear? You can craft some too!

    Keep in mind that if someone is buying out a 70k item and relisting them at 250k. That means there's at least 180k profit margin there. It'd only be a matter of time before other smart crafters realize there's a goldmine there and will jump in. Though, that competition will still want to get around 250k~ for it. It's not often someone will see that margin. Make an item, and then post it for 70k, lol.

    But over time the market will lower due to competition. Then as the profits dry up--people leave the market. Then someone can swoop in, clean house of the cheap stuff and reset the price. Welcome to economy 101! The best part about fictional economies with infinite resources is that ANYONE can play! All you need are brains and dedication.

    As soon as someone buys the item it belongs to them, and is theirs to do whatever they want with it. You, as the initial seller/crafter, relinquish all rights to the item as soon as you receive the payment you originally requested.

    Why would there be anything wrong with this? Besides, most of the time when this happens, people start to farm or sell their own supply of said item and the price goes back down after a little time.

    If you want to do something about it, earn/make the item yourself and compete.

    This is just basic capitalism, game economies aren't an exception to this rule.
