I knew as soon as I saw Aspir II available for BLM that every scroll in the AH would be bought and the price raised, big time. I was lucky enough to get it a few days ago and use it for DRK lol.

But, why would you be so stupid and buy it for 100k when you can get it from an NPC for 78k...I don't get it.

people are lazy

it is just like in real life. people buy something from a merchant... when they could have easily got a better bargain elsewhere.... but were too lazy to research prices.

Depends on how much your time is worth to you.

I mean I know someone with 20mil supposedly that refuses to ID things in whitegate because it cost so much and will do it in al zhabi instead lol

It's not laziness if your time saved is more valuable than the extra price you paid.

But what if they is on dial ups yo!?! And what if you factor in the times that it doesn't pay off?

Not saying it's smart but some people would rather just do it the braindead easy way

Don't forget the time it takes to calculate all the maths.

That's like a recursive algorithm y0!

Every time you calculate you have to calculate again cause you just calculated.

Makes my head spin thinking about it.

There's too many factors to make a generalization.

Stupidity is definitely one possible cause.

Laziness is definitely another.

Another is that some people are just flamboyant with their money, and don't care how much it costs, or where they get it from, they just "have to have it".

On June 28th, Hellscream bought Perle Solerets for 1,500,000.
Today, August 27th, basically 2 months later, they sell for 15,000.
That's 1% of the price he paid 2 months ago.
For some people, money is no object.
