There are third party sites that get a feed of all in-game transactions, and track whether prices are rising or falling on items. Of course, this can be manipulated in exactly the same way described in the OP -- either for humorous reasons, or for some sort of trade scam.
- MostAwesomeDude 13y agoThis is why KoL has a money sink which fixes the prices on many common items.
- shardling 13y agoNah, those two things aren't really related. My post was about gaming the marketplace prices that show up on coldfront. (http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1903/146/ http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1903/146/) Though KoL's economy is in general really fascinating. And it interacts in neat ways with the way they make money. They were way ahead of the curve in using a sort of free-to-play model. (And even doing it in a way that doesn't feel scummy!)
