Deflation about to kick in again?

[Saru Inc]

The G.E will now be where 90% of trades will take place, yes i do beleive we are going to hit a period of unstability with prices.

 

 

 

Will the prices deflate or inflate? well this very much depends on the item and its uses. Yew longs are on the Jagex list of things to be sorted, so i would expect to see the price floor on that item lowered sometime soon. Anyhow why dont we all just high alch Ruby Bracelets?

 

 

 

Anything to do with summoning will sore in price, Rares i beleive are in for a beating unfortunately.

 

 

 

SHUSH@ Don't tell them about bracelets! :anxious:

 

 

 

 

 

I agree with you, but also, you can still alch stuff from your Slayer assignments.

I didnt read all the posts so sorry if someone mentioned this already.

 

 

 

I believe Jagex did admit to messing up on 4,000 different item prices and Yew longs could be one that slipped in? Don't quote me but i heard they are changing the range of Yew longs to 600-700ea. Besides i know a way to effectively train magic and make a hefty amount of gp for it.

 

 

 

 

 

edit: Alching bracelets are awesome, I bought 40k sapp for 435ea nats for 253ea and made 2gp per alch instead of losing 84gp per alch on Yew longs. Yew longs are terrible to alch in the begining.

It can't kick in because Jagex has almost total control of the economy.

 

 

 

How are players supposed to control the economy of an item like a partyhat which is worth over 140m when they can only change the price of it by 3k.

 

 

 

I dont see how jagex will be able to change the prices of the Grand Exchange regularly when they got so many prices wrong to begin with... they don't know their own prices.

 

 

 

The prices at GE are made up by players, either by buying the items or then selling them. We've seen what oversupply does to potions for example, but also what the overdemand for raw-materials. The starting prices don't bother me, they were what they were and the current prices seem to be somewhat fair.

 

 

 

The fact that certain raw materials (like yew logs) rose is a reflection of vanished autoers, not Jagex-made-up-prices, infla-whatever or the moon's place at the sky. Everyone who has been gathering raw materials lately must have noticed that the amount of autoers has dropped to almost zero. Everyone with any logical sense should figure out what does the lack of autoers to do the markets: less supply. If you have ever heard anything about economics or thought about it, you should know that if the supply drops faster than demand, the price usually rises. This is exactly what happened in RS.

EDIT: Ah nevermind, I have no idea what any of this means.

Sure, we night influence the prices, but jagex ultimatly decides when to change, and by how much. Noticed all the items where the differences are not 5% off the market and minimum/maximum? Jagex has to learn that their arbitrary high-alch prices are not holy writ.
