um yea I was just wondering if any of you have any idea why coal has gone up to a higher price since the 150 usual. Plus the weird thing is that there are more suppliers so why?

Higher demand means more pressure on the miners, and more pressure on them results in them demanding a higher price. Coal is always needed, I mean Iron ore can now be sold for 110gp ea in large bulks (5k+).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would also like to note that the increase in suppliers you speak of is not general, sometimes when you visit the "merchant worlds" you can on occasion see a great deal of coal sellers, these are often people who have obtained coal as a spontaneous thing. These often also be sellers of smaller quantities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Often these days you see sellers asking for 200ea for coal, though I have found it more useful to hang around in the falador east bank and chant "buying all coal 180ea". You will get alot of offers where the quantity is 50-150, but if you buy all of these offers you eventually end up with the amount you were looking for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be well.

yea i guess that makes sense but i sure dont liek the price...
