Era relates to Wii's. Wii's are sold in stores, and Nintendo is meeting supply. There is a one per household regulation(which is absent on Era... ) to avoid people buying them all out... but however they are, they still are. Now a $250 product is selling for $500 on ebay(which shows these people having stacks of Wii's) because you can't get them anywhere else. The same thing happens on Era... and I don't think any amount of regulation or adjustment to the economy is going to stop people from buying out all the items and reselling them at higher prices.
That's not a bad thing, though.

The basic guns (pistol, uzi, ak47, shotgun) do have a near unlimited stock. They stock up to a certain amount every so often.
This is a bad thing, though, if prices are never adjusted.
