Random Observations

Inspired by this thread, I went to the market, and started buying and deleting Rubies.

-When I started, there were 448 for sale, 0 bidding.
-I got about 60 for 100 or less.
-I got 147 for 1000 or less.
-I got none for more than 1000, but less than 5000.
-I got 3 for 5000.
-When I stopped to start writing this, I had bid up to 15000, and had no sales over 5000.

Continuing my bids...
-Three purchases at 25k.
-Two at 50k.
-None above 50k, under 75k.
-116 at 99k
-46 at 100k
-19 at 115k
-Two at 125k
-11 at 150k
-4 at 165k
-8 at 200k
-3 at 220k
-7 at 250k
-Three at 300k (Still 73 above this price point!)
-None at any increment from 300k to 399,999!
-Still none at 400k.
-499,999.... Still none.
-Only one at 500,000.
-14 at 555,555
-One at 650,000 (but a bunch of lowballers got their bids filled too, so I don't think this one was REALLY that high).
-Note to self: Leave a buffer, so you don't spend 900k on a ruby that someone tosses up as you're creeping.
-One real listing at 900k.
-No more up to and including 999,999
-21 at exactly 1,000,000.

At this point, impatient people are throwing over a million at Rubies, just to get past my creeping. With 33 left on the market at over a million, I'm calling it quits.

It cost me 58 million(ish). It proved.... Not much really, but kinda gives an idea of the spread on what people are asking for their common salvage.

And yes, I did delete them all. What the heck am I gonna do with over 400 rubies?

EDIT: In the two hours since I posted this, I purchased 21 more rubies at 1 each, and relisted them for 1 each. Before I finished listing them, one had sold for 500, even though 2 of the last 5 were purchases for 1.
