I think that if an item is available in a gold shop and a seller in the marketplace tries to sell it for anything over two times that price, they should be permanently banned from gaia.

My reasoning is that they are either horribly awful or they are (or are using) a price leveraging bot.

This would also make removing those bots easy for gaia, since they could make a fake account, list an item for a ton more, and when the bots list for more than that, BAM! Off the site they go.

Though also I feel that gold shop items should be limited to a tiny percentage over their full store price in the marketplace, so the max you can make is the store price after the 2% tax is levied.

I also think that RIGs CIs, EIs, et cetera should have a stepped maximum selling price so they don't reach full, unlimited pricing for one year after to release. That would smack the gaian economy down and get it closer to functional again as it would separate the patient investors from the impulsives and knock out a big disturbance in the system. Basically putting a limit on how fast the market can inflate and deflate.

Well at least when you are about to purchase a gold shop item it gives you the store price so you can compare. If someone is the least amount observant, they will notice a huge price discrepancy and go to the gold shop instead.

In the case of H&R Wesley, we don't know if the shop will ever be restored so people are being extra greedy and opportunistic.

I agree that the prices for the RIGs CI, etc... get completely ridiculous. For the majority of Gaian's the upper prices items will always be near impossible to get. (or so expensive that it's simply not worth it for one item)

hello. well i went in to the dr last monday and my blood pressure was through the roof and my liver was having issues. so i had to have a c section to deliver the baby. she was 5 lbs 15 oz. she's so tiny. we are lucky and she was breathing on her own and doing well with eating so she was able to come home with me. but we just barely got home. i'm on the mend. still having troubles with my blood pressure so have to watch that. she's lost some weight and i'm having troubles getting her to breastfeed. she ended up jaundice. she had to spend her hospital stay in the nicu.

so i'll still be mia while i mend. uncomfortable to sit in the computer chair for long. plus i'm trying to sleep when i can. hope you are all doing well and i will be back soon.

I hope you and your new little one continue to be on the mend. It's good to hear from you and know things are ok. Sounds like you had it pretty rough for a bit. Keep us updated!

But how likely are they able to pick up on a bot? I mean...I have numerous accounts...given I use most of them for investing in items and only sell at reasonable prices.

Congratulations, Teeshan on your bundle of joy. Sorry to hear that you stumbled an obstacle. I hope you recover soon so you can spend your time on your little one.

Pretty easily since you'd be posting a reasonable price, not a price calculated by a computation within seconds of the post – i.e.; 110% of the last auction or the last plus 9,999 gold. You also don't cancel your auctions repeatedly within the 5-minute window to nudge it up by said calculation. I think that despite the ease to throttle them, these bots are not chased off because they distort the economy in such a way as to encourage cash purchases to try to afford items and that the people using those bots are some of the higher cash paying members.

I hope it's the first reason and not the bot because the higher the amount... the harder to sell even if it's bought from a burnt down store.
