 for some reason I'm not able to connect to Era  |
when people buy the product for a set price, (lets talk about guns for example) after the person has the gun and doesn't want it anymore, he sells it to someone for less than the store price instead of that person buying it in the store for the normal price. eventually, the "street price" of the item is much lower than the store price, and nobody wants to buy it from the store anymore if they can buy it from players for much cheaper. thus putting them out of business.
now, you'd probably say "well let them lower the price."
and this is exactly what the businesses did. (Sugilite, Raven Arms, all those businesses) that is also where staff ****ed up.
the whole process will just start over. it will decrease the value of the item, and people will be selling it to other players STILL for less than the store price. no one out of their mind is going to try and sell an item for more money than what they can get it at the store. (on Era that is) Eventually, the cycle goes on and on and you wind up having these guns in the business for like, 30k less than they started out with because they can hardly sell them anymore due to player trading.
see, when scamming was legal and there was no such thing as safe trading, people were obligated to always buy from the store because if they bought from players, there was a chance (BIG CHANCE) to get scammed.
I know what I'm talking about when it comes to these things. I could probably make Era's economy real good. Shame I don't have the chance to.
Hopefully this post made sense.
