It's not like you're FORCING anyone to pay/receive those prices: they're obviously willing to make that trade because they make it. Consider this parallel: you are thirsty, and you want a drink. There's a vending machine, but it sells water for $2 - a ridiculous price. However, you pay it. In this parallel, the vending machine functions as a "flip merchant", and you are the person buying the expensive water bottle. Yes, you would like the water for less, but you're obviously willing to pay for it. -- On topic: 1. Can I trade 10k grenwall spikes for an easter egg? If not, how many more spikes would I need? 2. Can I trade an easter egg + cash for a green partyhat? If not, how much more should I expect to add? (another easter? additional spikes?)
