in the past few days tons of items have crashed!

 

 

 

dfs

 

bgs

 

ags

 

fury

 

some barrows armour

 

 

 

whats going on here? why is everything crashing at the same time? can someone explain whats going on here?

It looks like bandos armor is dropping too and I don't really know why it all is. I'm thinking merching clans, now that there are so many of them there are tons of items prices being maipulated now as opposed to just a couple.

pretty crazy. soon jagex is gonna have to ban people for merching!! :ohnoes:

I dont think its merchant clans. godswords probably too expensive and, specifically the BGS, too common to buy them all up. Its probably because the bounty worlds are causing these items to be dropped and sold thus adding more supply.

BOO

^ Yes, and it makes sense being that most of it is melee equipment

I can't get mith ore and coal at max price.... It seems like there would be a ton of that out there, almost to much for a merch clan to buy out... Or so one would think. :x

Jagex'd out of my untrimmed hp cape on 6/14/2011.

People sold their more expensive extras for PvP gear as soon as the new Bounty Hunter came out. It was all in a rush, and prices went crashing on the few days after. Because prices crashed, the common people like you and I started to fear that their beloved items would become dirt cheap, so they rushed to put their item in the GE. When their item wouldn't sell for medium price they panicked, until at last they put it in for Minimum. Well there are so many people doing this, that no one is buying in because it would be better to get it when it is cheaper, since it seems to be spiraling down and down. Therefor, the price keeps going down.

 

 

 

This is what happens every time something big comes out.

This coupled with the Ourg bones update which caused bandos drops to crash seems to make for a perfect storm of deflation concerning high end melee equipment (Personally this is a good thing, if prices stay low I should be able to afford tassets soon 8-) )

Prices never stay stable. For one reason or another. They'll skyrocket, or bottom out.

 

 

 

Same thing happened for me. Once i got my first pair of D legs for 2.7M, they crashed to about 600k.

 

 

 

The Bandos tassets and plate i have now, worked up the cash over 2 months. And they drop once i get them. Also for my D plate on my 2nd account.

 

 

 

So, i just say to hell with prices. Use what i have now. And wait for higher items to come within my price range.

 

I wont stand for consistently buying/selling my armory just to save money. It get what i need and stick with it.

 

 

 

Anywho, I'd say they dropped because of the PKing update. The biggest one yet, and it had to have somthing to do with it.

Why do people keep saving this?

 

I've been bandos twice since the update (1 trip had no crashers or anything, the other 1 attempted crash) and have only brought back 5 bones in total.

But here's the good news: eventually, the prices will become more feasable again, and people will start to buy them, hopefully equalling supply and demand.

 

Chances are they won't get back to their original prices for a while, some may never.

 

 

 

Its like a sped up version of the markets in reality. Almost.
