This should inflate the market with items lowering their cost, not increasing.

It's generally easier to just farm plat than it is to actually camp items, so very few people bother camping the items anymore. More plat in game plus not as many new item drops = higher prices.

Duped plat, EC sellers buy really rare shit and then sell it for twice what they paid. Since they're knee deep in money and items they don't give a fuck if they sell it anytime soon they'll sit on it for months until they get what they want.

It's a free market economy though. Can't complain since you can technically do what they do.

Honestly an RBG for 55k sounds like a pretty solid deal.

This is definitely true though.

These guys sit in EC for like 16 hours a day buying every single item being auctioned for a reasonable price, then try to resell it for often DOUBLE OR EVEN TRIPLE what they payed.

Many of them have the advantage of playing from work, as Bob did.
