sure it would be nice to have a price guide, but prices are likely to fluctuate depending on:
a) how badly does the buyer want it
b) how quickly does the seeler want to sell
c) the rarity of items

so it would need constantly updating to stop it being outdated in 2 days

as ceros mentioned, an item is only worth what someone is willing to buy it for, and even then, someone has to be willing to sell it at that price.

Thats the answer you will get if you ask me about the price of an item too.

Sorry, I was not aware of this thread (very luckily I got this thread).

I told to confuciousnz several times that I didnt know the actual price of Infantry Helmet.
If the price of warlord is 100K & its defence is around 20% or so then price of an infantry helmet with around 15% defence could reasonably be 80-50K. I told to confuciosnz several times that I didnt know the actual price of infantry helmet. And I sold my first infantry at 50K. So why should I try my 2nd infantry less than 50K ?

On top of this my warlord was taken from MrWho, I gave MrWho even my main email so that he can notify me when he needs it back. Once I gave my warlord back to MrWho. MrWho then gave his warlord back to me again saying to pay later. So I was in need of gp. (meantime i helped MrWho many ways).At the time of that trading I also told this fact to confuciosnz but he isnt showing it here.

And confuciousnz LIED several times in the town saying that I tried to sell my infantry at 100K.

After all I wasnt breaking any rules but confuciosnz did. He did use abusive words & scolded me.

I DID NOT BREAK A RULES OVER THERE. BUT CONFUCIOSNZ DID. He insulted me & his hot-headed mentality is avoided in the pic. I declare it here, confuciosnz is li'l arrog*nt & several times I failed to make everything even with him. But i still want to see him as my friend.

========================================================
And I agree with item price guide. It'll help both newbie buyers & sellers. (but that way the game may lose its fun)

REALITY IS, NOTHING IS PERFECT. KEEP ENJOYING ALONG WITH.

Anyway,
The price of any item depends on supply & demand.
If the supply is steady so will be the price.
But supply cant be steady here, it depends on how many players are playing & for how long. To keep the supply steady, programmers will need to change source codes or DB so often.
And you cant control demand that easily since it depends on the users' choice. But changing prospects of the quests may control demand of users.

Is this possible to try to make a fixed price environment ? It would reduce li'l hassle for newbie buyers or sellers.

Fun in the game is gonna increase or decrease ?

The price on Inf. helmets should be going up. With the supply of helmets going down (drop move from snakes to spiders and heavily lowed drop rate). And the demand going up (Steel Shields use two now). The price should be going up. IRCC it was 5k for one, even though they were often given to n00bs much less because of the fact that higher players got them all the time, and had no use for them. I would not be surprised if they are worth 20-30k now.
