For the longest time when you did a shop search and an item showed up in the main shops, the price on the shop search matched the price in the shop. Lately, ever since the site problems, the price in the shop search and the actual price in the main shop do not match up. Is it going to stay this way or will it return to how it was? And has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?
I just searched several items, randomly chosen, from my inventory and vault, and of those currently stocked in main shops, none of the prices match. Are there specific items for which you're noticing this, or is it everything for you?
- For me, there's only been one item where the shop search price has matched the actual main shop price when you purchase. For every other item, the search shop price has been less than the actual shop price
Sounds more like users are just pricing competitively, depending on the items; there's no profit to be made in pricing items lower than the cost in the location it restocks, but many items are still worth dramatically less. However, I also just noticed (as did somebody else, in regards to elixirs) that the official item price of one of my favourite, hoarded items has changed since the site came back up. It MAY be that other items' official prices have been similarly augmented, and that's what's making the difference.
- I'm not talking about user shop prices... Only the prices for the official shops. Like, if I search the price for Arid Harvester Plushie, the shop search will tell me that in the Plushie Parlour, the price is 599. But when I actually go to buy it from the official shop, the price is higher (700-something).
- this has been a problem forever. There are 3 prices on every item - the hover price, the one that shows on the shop search table and the one in the shop itself. In my experience these 3 numbers always tend to be different. I had noticed in the past couple of months that the shop price and shop search table price have been the same, but that's only been for a little while. I guess whatever fix the used to standardize those prices may have been wiped away by the recent site problems.
