the only true way to drop the price of rares is to make them not rare, what you are saying will increase the ammount of these items, making them not rare, also jagex will never do this because they were special holoday items, just like the rubber chicken, which in about a year or so will get to that ammount, because the ammount of people with them, compaired to new people that dont have them will have raised dramaticaly in one year, that is why the rares that you are talking about cost so much, its cuz there were say 1,000 people that got them (im not saying that was the number, i know it was more) but now there are 1,000,000,000,000,000 people that wernt there when they were released, so the market for them went up, also, shouldnt it be up to the RS veteren that got it in the first place to have the ability to set the price that he wants for an item that he/she has held for over a year? and if they sell it, then the merchant that bought it has the right to sell it for his desired price, get over it, the price of rares wont go down, and if jagex intervines, then i hope that many members like me quit because they will be taking away a great market for the people that were there with them so long ago, i believe that it is a good thing that there is a set ammount of the rares, that way they eventually get washed out into nothingness, and those that have them will be proud, and wont sell 8)
