The Devaluation of Platinum

People selling primed frames for 75 platinum when the standard version sells on the market for 375 platinum.

But that's terrible value for normal frames to most people. Also, PA has been going on for a decent while, so prices are dropping. Besides, between the Prime Vault and Ducats, I think prices are actually higher than they were at this point two or even one year ago.

Ember prime, a widely used frame (demand) and being a vaulted frame (supply) is selling for 1,300 plat roughly. Multiplied by the 6.7 cents per plat for it's face value and that's $87.10 worth of plat (non-discounted, bundled, etc.)... For a frame within a video game with sub-standard bonuses. That's a hefty price and a lot of value.

Mag on the other hand, since the rework, isn't quite so popular and thus there is still a large supply floating in inventories. Not to mention that her unvaulting leads to even more supply and even less demand because people can either grind it out or wait for the 100's of sellers to compete against each other until the price is low. Mag is currently going for 170 plat or $11.39 non-discounted worth of plat.

The trading market is purely supply and demand. Also, buy low and sell high is a common marketing strategy anywhere.

i understand that point player need fast plat...but doing that u ruin trade other ppl....its just messy..

Nah, most of us just want to see your face when you waste even more time on trading chat and not make any sale with your overpriced deal :) 

Side note:not sure if you realize this, if big clan try to control the market , small clan will jump in and make some profit instead. Or even worse, Some solo vet sometime will just go selling 1/10 of market price and kill everyone.
