Urm.... me and Trac-tor come to the raids generally with half a tray full of EoEs. We keep a stash in our base and readily share with anyone who needs it. I'm sure actually a lot of other people do the same.|

To encourage folks to find other supplies I'm no longer listing all my EoEs at 1M, but instead in progressively increasing amounts.

If you need EoEs at the raid just ask. Generally no need to buy them unless I'm missing something. Especially since for most of the recent raids (except the last one I was at Sunday) Monster clearing went long, thus lots of EoE drops.
Oh I've had no doubt folks were sharing freely. But nevertheless, someone has been buying EoEs at whatever prices I want to part with them for. Odds are most of my buyers are on Virtue simply because you folks do the most raids.
Odds are also that Virtue folks are the best bet to help re-establish something resembling a free market on EoEs for the same reasons.
It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.
sooo your asking people to help with your ebil marketing tactics .... umm yah

Sounds more like he wants us to stop him and his ebil racketeering by listing EoEs for less than he is.|

I think we've got 50some in the base, might drop a score on the market.

*scratches head* But ok, help me out here. Why exactly do people need to buy EoEs?|

I mean, if we really were short the raid organizers would just put together a team night to hit up monster island and restock. Thats actually how our initial pile of EoE's started.
And generally in most raids people get enough EoE's as drops to negate the necessity to buy them.
I mean... and maybe i'm wrong on this, but I think the only people buying EoEs are people running LGTFs...
Just saying...

Negami has it right. Truth is I'm running short, by my standards, and will simply stop listing them soon if left on my own. While *I'm* ok with that, someone obviously wants them. |

In my own opinion it just seems a shame to leave someone hanging like that. (Yes, I'm known to think oddly.)
It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

Well it's certainly a valid question! Unfortunately as I've more or less been silent about being the market supply, there simply hasn't been a way to determine who's buying them without attracting attention unwanted until now. |

Given that my EoEs have been selling out prior to Virtue's raid times, my observations led me here.
