That's been my plan for a while. I also put a cap on how much I'm willing to pay, and post it in the Market Place. If I have time, usually someone is willing to sell at my price.

Fact of the matter is, they will sell for what someone is willing to pay for them.

Yup.

It's supply and demand: you have the supply, and they have the demand. If an AT/UU buyer has that attitude, they can usually get the price they want.

Impulse buyers and sellers are the only ones hurting. I have set my price and it take a week or more, but I always got it.
But when I impulse buy, I pay the price.

Re: why is high the AT's price?
Personally I'm against the whole rise in price. Even though i'm ascending and need the naq, i keep my rate at 260b / k

Re: why is high the AT's price?
Personally, I like the high prices, but thats because I'm a seller when in norm.
Ah, war profitteering, ain't it great?

When confronted about them supporting Bebita and Rob3rt (as there were suspicions as to be a tiny account got his MS and Naq / Turns etc) neither deny their involved behind the scenes but instead hint towards it being a coincidence.

Simple reason.
It is in demand, and people are getting greedy.
I have bought and used over 900,000 turns in this war and that is a lot of money for me so I have tried to limit my expenses as much as possible. Sell me more turns!

Re: why is high the AT's price?
Sounds like we need another round of mass the people selling AT's at outrageous prices... People would think twice about selling them that high if they lost their profits due to having to rebuild.

lol anyone who pays those prices is nuts, I get more than I need paying under 200 Bill / K
i have 200+ mil army size,and personaly for me is much profitable to stay of ppt(i don't like ppt),but the AT price will grow in the same way,it's better to me to stay in ppt 4 days:(
I'm the same size and can make far more off PPT, farmed 5 Trill yesterday in about an hour, granted thats above average, good days and not so good ones but always plenty to go around if you take the time to look
hey wana point me in the direction of that seller lol
to everyone saying its supply and demand yes it is but there has to be aline drawn somewhere. as in real world when supply and demand get out of control i believe the government intervens and puts a limit/cap. maybe we need that in the game.

Re: why is high the AT's price?
10k turns is the cap i believe, but still, no harm in making a profit off of others needs, what do you think grocery stores do?
