I have to disagree as well. Most low/mid level items are readily accessible and cheap. Granted, EQ will always suffer from mudflation with pp generation always outpacing money sinks (gems/coffins etc). This is offset by the sheer number of items floating out there coupled with sooooo many items a new player can put into the market at a generous profit. Left Goblin Ears for 25-30pp each? Bone chips at 10pp per stack? Leather padding you can make yourself, pelts.. its a HUGE list of newbie friendly marketable items.
Of course, the high end market has high price points.. as they should be. You weren't supposed to start off a fresh character and have a fungi.
I've put leveling a priority over any plat and I'm still comfortable enough to gear decently, have money for spells, and gradually poke at wish list items relative to my level.
Edit: I didn't even mention people giving items away in EC on a regular basis. The community is well rounded with angels and A-holes alike.
