What is The Most Overpriced Piece of "Bad" Gear?

[Khaleesi]

Epic drops and Epic MQs
Jboots MQ
FBSS/Dragon Sash
Fingerbone Hoop
Goblin Gazughi


And too many others to list.

What I've always found disconcerting about the market and prices on P99 is that they far too often resemble near identical prices, as they were back on the old servers.
That's not mere convenience. The fact that we're intentionally pricing items based on old economic data, is bad.

I would have thought - in the spirit of allowing old and new players alike - to revisit and enjoy classic EverQuest, that charity would have come before greed.
If everyone priced things lower or more reasonably, then it would balance itself out.

I really dislike selling most things because the prices are ridiculous. Though if I don't get the full (or near full) value, then I am unable to move onto making my purchases, because the seller isn't going to necessarily feel the way I do ; and so the cycle continues.

When you only have a couple hundred plat, everything is overpriced.

Agree with this list except Goblin Gazughi Ring.

As a charming class, that things changes your world. Every good Druid/Enchanter/Bard should carry one. Instant charm breaks are very handy, especially when leveling.

It is already in its final form.

Still has good +mana though.

I swear someone was BP clicking on red yesterday, I'd better keep that to myself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I shed a tear every time I see the price list for things people say I should have as a druid.

Recently broke 1k, splurged 300pp on getting JC up to 55. Hunted hill giants all day, only to discover they were all broke too. 5gp? Come on, man... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's the sad thing, the insane wealth gap for new players. Dropping a few thousand on CB belts is nothing to people that have been here a few years but to new players, selling 10-20 of those things is a huge deal.

Some pricing is just naturally based on when the item is generally available to get as a drop or quested. Fresh players coming to the server generally get the same amount of plat through natural level progression as they did on live.

I would hypothesize that fresh players are actually much, much wealthier (whether in liquid funds or item progression) than they would have been on live during the same expansion time period with the trickle down of mid-tier and lower-high end Kunark gear being liquidated by high end players, giving away plat to newbies for spells, etc. Very few players have to level with rusty weapons.

Sure there are some items which have higher values, but the vast amount of plat farming (Pre & post Kunark), epic MQ farming, and extended timeline has caused far, far more wealth to circulate on P99 than live had (without exploits). High end players have hundreds of thousands in plat (some with millions) ready to get the items/MQs they want.

People trying to sell BP gems for 10K. Simply ridiculous
