My god you people are... not well versed in economics. Whenever someone tries to monopolize part of the market, it's easy as pie to just undercut them. If they buy up the stuff you undercut with, you undercut more. This kind of market manipulation *doesn't work* over anything but the incredibly short term (a day or so.) People who haven't run the AH shouldn't be posting in these threads.

Exactly. You can only have a production monopoly and that doesnt exist on a economy where products can be generated by anyone anytime. If he tries to buy your product to repost just make more and sell to him, he is givin you money. If anything the limit on the auctions makes so the market have less offer so the prices tend to go up.

Stop placing offers with 1 rare craft mat, use stacks of 4 or something usefull which fit to recipts.

And 50 offers where the limit is 2 days? ROFL, do you play the game or just sit at the Kiosk with a level 1 toon to trade and push inflation?

Before there is any need for more then 50 offers the 2 day limit must be rised to 7/14/21/28 days. This would actual help the market much more as people could place stuff bejond overpriced offers and so regulate the market.

Well, I never liked when people bought out all items that were cheap in AH and then sold it for twice the prize. For this, I am actually happy for the 50 limit.

If you do not do buy-resell exploit, then I have no idea what you are selling in such quantities.

Not unless you used something like Auctionator, which really just created a HUGE divide in player economic standing, and making worthless things worth $ and useful things worth nothing.

If you have enough time to list hundreds of auctions on GTN, then you probably ought to reconsider what you're doing with your time, as far as life goes. In my opinion anyways.

meh, I rarely ever go to the GTN, basically I go there to buy Red light saber crystals every 10 levels or so. What can I say, I'm a traditionalist, I prefer red light saber for my Sith. The game gives me everything I want either through the commendations, quest rewards, or Flash Points. /shrug.

So I guess I wouldn't care if they increased the limit. I do wonder how many people are like me, and if they increased the limit, how much of this stuff would just end up not being bought?

As a crafter I found this cap a pain. I can only make a couple mods for each level and not of each kind. So I rotate maing all aim mods level 1-45. I would like to be able to have enough to make a few of each mod for each level range and of each type. Wis, aim, str etc. Add a few rare drops into the mix and what I pick up from my missions and I cant put them on the AH. As someone who likes to spend a lot of time crafting. I would like to see 150-200 AH posting limit.

I find it amusing that people in favor of the cap thinks that the GMT only purpose is to post craft material ... I actually try to post all my green equip for 50% base item price so i can have a little more profit than vendoring and people can use it to equip alts / companion for a lower price. Guess what, i cant post most of it because of this stupid and useless cap.
