Hello, my name is Hurricane. My story is one that you've probably heard before, or even lived out yourself. Until today, I was quite poor; the most meseta I'd ever had was about 20,000. Then I opened a shop, and set my elemental photons on sale for rather cheap (in comparison with other shops on the PC) prices. Within an hour I was rolling in cash. Although you may not care for my success, I felt it was necessary to make a commemorative post. Thank you.

Rays at 5000, photons at 1700, everything else at 3000.

Xbox prices -

about 40-100

So no, its still unlegit. So no "reasonable" price.

Two different servers. Two different economies. You can't compare the two ~.~;

We had an influx of haxeta, not to mention everyone's gouging over here. So considering the inflation, my prices are really pretty fair. My kubara wood, for example, is only 60,000. Elsewhere, I see it going for upwards of 200,000. Hell, there was this one guy trying to sell a 5* rod for 300,000.

Is everyone on the PC/PS2 loaded or something? Why would you pay thousands for something that you can find 10 times for free on Unsafe Passage C?

Kubara Wood for 60k?? Lower your prices dude, I buy that stuff for 800-600 a piece from well known legit shops.

And ya, it's the haxeta influx. I might open a shop on a mule character to make fast cash but eh...idk. Unlike PSO, a few people having massive meseta amounts actually DOES change the whole atmosphere with the gauging and whatnot.

I don't know. My best guess is that people want to synth things fast, without having to spend the time building up an inventory. Ray-photons, the ice type, are in high demand because they're not that common and ice weapons are pretty effective just about everywhere. Matter of fact, all of the elemental photons but Megi- and Gra- aren't common, really. Plus, everyone who buys this stuff is, indeed, loaded. It's all about the shop.

800 for Kubara wood? Wow I am on PC and I can barely sell it for 400 each. Photons go for 50 each. I sell everything for atleast 50% NPC.

http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif I am sitting at 67 million on my main character right now. I have about another 70 million on my other 3 characters, so you are still poor to me. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Sorry, had to rub it in. I have become uber rich since 9* weapons came out, they sell like hot cakes!

Congrats on your newfound wealth!

I swear, nobody can be happy for someone else anymore. What the hell unlegit mean anyways? People adapt their prices to the economy. That a crime?

And I can barely sell my photons. I have every type of photon on sale for 70, I'm thinking about lowering to 50. They've been sitting there for too long.

Fact: People will pay whatever you demand if they want something bad enough and are too impatient to find it themselves.

If we could've sold rares on PSO, it would've been the same.

As a joke, I put 10 gra photons up for 10k each. They were gone in 15 minutes. @_@ NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING.

People are just to LAZY to run around and do a bunch of C runs for things. Sure you might find ONE or TWO of the photon you're looking for in a run. But that could take forever when you could be doing an S mission that'll make you "the mad exp/meseta/loots". That's just how it is. *shrugs* Too bad I want to hang onto the majority of my photons in case I decide *I* want to use them. I could be rich. Oh well :3

I don't synth much because I haven't built a lv 100 PM yet. But I find a VERY large abundance of every photon. Suppose I should start selling off some of this stash...

Dude sell stuff for what its worth OR do what I did and open a seperate shop to gouge prices with. Also as someone who USES kubara wood for making money i have to say 60k is rediculous since most shops sell for 30k http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Kubara Wood for 60k? That's ludicrously expensive. I sell it for 2.5k when I need some cash.

The inflation in the market has totally messed up the PC/PS2 version's economy, almost to the point where legitimate Meseta-earning players can't even afford anything from playershops.

Hell, I saw someone trying to sell Rayharods, with no grind, for 70,000 each. Harisen Battle Fan +2 for 10 million anyone?

It's a bit annoying really, especially when I'm trying to find cheap Tech PM food and have to resort to buying Slyrods, because Rayharods are overpriced so much, along with most of the game's items.

Of course, I could end my money troubles for a while, by selling 20 Ray-photons for LOL 5K, but I won't.

I don't care at all how much you sell stuff for, but let's not pretend that rolling in "money" does not radically undermine the game design.

And, by selling items at such a high price all of you are just feeding into the ruination of the economy.

But hey, you got 40 million, so who cares....
