Thats not a knife, this is a knife :-)
Real bankers have 5+ tabs each. You spend time playing endgame, I spend 
time rearranging bank icons, darn that tab is full of ghost iron, better 
buy a new tab. Not that I am a real banker, I just quiet enjoy the 
calculations of returns/deposit/ahcut and the making pretty arrangements 
of mats, a half column really annoys me.

Predicting what direction markets will go at expansion is just coin 
flipping. Probably they will go up, but the gold is going to be worth 
much less soon. Apart from rares it is just what people can't be 
bothered spending time to do themselves or want right now for a recipe 
or level they want.
While the free chars could get profs there will be a lot who just 
powerup asap, so that could ramp up older mats. Who knows.

I am trying to draw down old content stuff, but people keep selling low 
in batches and not storing, then their items expire and there is nothing 
on the market, so I fill it at a reasonable longer term level. No matter 
what I do I end up with more stock to organise and more gold coloured 
pixels :-)
  Not a lot, but quiet nicely, I am not some megagold wheeler dealer 
with a handle on every item, if you look up undermine some are posting 
24/7/52. Hmmm. I just post a few weeks every few months so probably have 
less than someone just doing dailies all year.

  On the upswings some of the 'real' bankers get quiet precious about 
their markets when something they have been gouging the market 
mercilessly for drops to 1/2 or 1/4 what they are used to, it is like I 
am hijacking their pension plan or something. Maybe I am? :-)

I know some things I put up for 20g and shift regularly go up for 100g 
and don't seem to shift when I am away, they gouge, I like the process 
of selling, not selling means I made a mistake on estimating demand 
today. There isn't anything wrong with my calculations but I didn't 
understand what the customer would want.  Sad shopkeeper.
