That is not what I'm saying, but what I don't believe is that people should use it like it is some god-inspired document that leaves people believing, "This is what the price is for this item", or "You shouldn't pay more then this amount!" That is where I don't think it should even be called "Price Gude" and then say they are not trying to tell people what price things should be. It should just be a YoWorld Goods and Items catelog. I hate when I hear that people quote the "PRICEGUIDE" amount to someone at a sale and then expect to get the item for that costs or lower. For instance I think that if you have freebies that cannot be gotten for free anymore, you can sell for what you want. Should the priceguide says it was a "freebie" then players think that you should just give it to them because at one time it had been free. I'm like really, because it may have been free to me, but I worked to get it. (as in coinrun, or worked jobs, or sent gifts to friends) so it's not really a "freebie". Plus, onece those items are no longer "freebies", anyone can sell THEIR item for what they want. I don't know why some people just can't seem to grasp that concept. It doesn't matter what it had cost the original owner, they can resell for what they want. People need to learn to look for a good deal or just do without, but stop all the stupid whinning becaue you can't get someone to sell you the item you want for practically nothing! OK, climbing down off soapbox. Carry on.

I tried selling in an event sale but everyone only stuck to the what i think to be un-updated price guide price of 320k. What sucks about it is if i sold it for that i would obviously lose money but i think i can make around 900k for it on the auction [ the average is supposedly 1.5mil which seems too high obviously but whatever if it sells it sells ] Anyway my point is what can you trust..? I have yet to ever see someone actually stick to price guides so it makes it almost impossible to know how to price something lately as the only concrete price i can think to find is the auction average price but that doesn't exactly seem trustworthy either. Sorry for the long post i am just confused as to pricing in the game lately, it seems as if it is just always "your item, your price" but anytime i price an item i get crap for it from people for straying from the priceguide, lol.

Um, so what's your point? If you think you can make more by selling it in the AU, then do it. No one is forcing you to sell at the "priceguide" price. If people don't want to buy at your price, that is their choice too, just like YOU have a choice to sell at what price you want. I personally don't go by some "guides" figures. I can determine for myself what I'm willing to pay for an item or sell an item.

To many times I have sold an item at a fair price and watched that person turn around, and make the profit in Trade. I have also seen some people bullied to sell for cheap, and the other person then call them a sucker, noobie or looser and run and sell for a profit. Your item, your price.

I know that there are websites with info regarding prices and people who host sales and follow reasonable prices and they are cool with it. I dont have any problem with players who buy stuff to resell it and play to be " rich" or whatever, I buy stuff that I see it might fit in my decorations, since that is the essence of the game. Now it is impossible to buy anything at all and thats my point, rather buy stuff from the store once they bring new items, than please people who want to make business with a virtual game.. Speechless with some comments on here, looks like some players dont have anything better to do... Prices are high and that is a fact, no matter how offended you guys may feel. If you fight over these issues I dont want to see how you deal with real life problems.

The Yo Economy is not something that should be or needs to be "fixed." It is what it is and it's an evolving, ongoing thing. Prices go up, prices go down. That's how it goes.

No economy, virtual or real, benefits from outside and artificial manipulation. When that is attempted, everything tanks and EVERYONE suffers, whether you realize it immediately or not. There are so many negative repercussions that effect everyone from the poorest player to BVG themselves. In short, trading grinds to a halt, nobody sells the items you want, and nobody buys YoCash because the exchange rate and buyer confidence have gone down so much.

Nobody needs to own every item. I don't. Let the Yo Economy be what it is and do what it does.

I've only came across a handful of items from steampunk and next to none for china, Not counting very small junk items. I have not played the game long enough to really have an opinion that counts for anything but it seems that it will only get worse and worse. But i don't really know what i am talking about as i only started actually playing the game when it was ready to be shut down per my sisters request.

Technically, even if that is happening, it's not manipulation, it's just really salesmanship. It's still within the market.

What I'm talking about is when the economy is manipulated by the governing body. Like when Zynga re-released some of the 08 costumes. And look what happened, the market crashed hard. There was no consumer confidence and hardly anyone was buying YoCash because it was worthless.

Governments in real life have also tried to manipulate currency value artificially. I'm not a historian, but I'm not aware of any time that resulted in anything positive.
