Something VERY weird is going on on Realm 2's market: Suddenly Stones, Water, and recently even Power for the usual prices are gone. Only very high-priced goods are available on the market (very close to NPC prices).
What happened?

Water price has been high for a while now... And stone prices increased mostly because Azer was away for a while. I can see them stabilizing now. 
But power... I don't know. Right now the biggest producers don't have their power on the market, lack of supply can easily lead to such increase in power price. Last week the market was also a bit bumpy, so I predict there will be more situations like this in the near future.

Well you're right stones were insane because of Azer being away. Big players who usually buy stones from Azer were forced to buy form market (some of them) to the demand was lots over supply and price went sky high.
As power, water, wood (stbilized today) and coal (yes coal also yesterday prices were as high as 60 per unit ;P ) are bumpying IMHO because of wood contest. Ppl were insanely producing food q1 for contest so price for water were high, wood went high etc. Wood production of other qualities was almost 0 and demand was sky high. So players were forced to buy expansive wood to expand so all other prices went up. Also top players (like Milenko) were little out of cash because of contest
And yes it's right - i haven't seen POWERBANK on market lately so power price went high
Kapilands is just a small simulation of a market and you can see how small factors have huge impact on overall market condition. Now imagine Coke or any other of high brand going bancrupt in one day - world economy would suffer that greatly

I doubt my daily production really added much. Outside of Milenko I really only have over 1M stone contracted out. That shouldn't have hurt the market as much as the market seemed to be.
I think dpdsbd had a good point, the contest has raised several other materials that are needed for stone and other mine products. That very well might be one of the reasons the prices have gone up.
But, for the time being, I will be myself and help lower the prices for every buyers sake. (Not too low of course.)

It has been threatening to happen for some time now, just needed a catalyst. mines and well employee growth has been lagging the overall job market growth, and certainly way behind the pace of the raw material sappers industries like factories, joineries, and more recently the food facs. Only power plants kept up with these industries job growth pace.
The combination of Powerbank being away and trying to sell stones at more than 20c, Azer's cyber connection woes, and Dominance Inc. expansion drive provided the catalyst.
For those who are interested - Joineries employment grew 46% since the beginning of this month (April)! Wells and mines growth are picking up rapidly over the past few days. But most of well productions would go to oil, judging from the 33% increase in gas stations in April.

This is entirely true. But with a big risk.matt wrote:i know who made this happen
i was talking to POWERBANK and he told me something about how he has the ability to raise power prises by buying the cheaper power and selling them up to 0.16
The risk is that people see these high prices, and start thinking "well I should start making power too now!" Then there is oversupply, and you either spend a fortune constantly buying and relisting, or just get overwhelmed by the supply now and the price falls.
But if you're at the right spot where the listings are thin and you're a big supplier, it's definitely worthwhile to try a move like that.
