Aye damn those GMS..

Although some of the time i have noticed, on occasions when a popular mat is in low stock, suddenly a large amount of that item spawn onto the auction house, with very odd prices, almost like NPC prices.. Like Runecloth for 4g 52s 22c.. I dunno about anyone else but i never bother putting things up for prices like that, i always round it off in 5's.. 5g 50s or 55g 50s etc... I've often wondered if its GMs trying to restore order..

Might just be some auctioneer add-on that im not aware of though.

It's auctioneer, it does it automatically with a price that undercuts the rest. So you do end up getting vendorish style prices.

I price things that way, I also stock pile items until they are low in stock on the auction house. Don't use any auction add on either, loose far to much gold in my opinion.

I started 'playing' the auction house 5 days ago and made quite a bit of money, mainly using my Jewelcrafting skills.

Bought all the [item]Earthstorm Diamond[/item] for around 50-65g off the auction house (was only around 5), cut them into [item]Powerful Earthstorm Diamond[/item] which cost me nothing, sold them all for 150g, nice juicy profit. Once the amount of them drops on the auction house, i'll be doing it again :)

A few years ago, in one of the Blizzard offices...

Programmer A: Ok, and I think I'll assign a 64 bit integer for the money...
Programmer B: 64? I am sure a 32bit one will be more than enough.
Programmer A: Well, that would give us a cap of about 200.000 gold... do you think it will be enough?
Programmer B: Of course it will! Do you think that there will be anyone out there willing to farm more than 200.000 gold?
Programmer A: Yeah, you are right...

Present day...

Programmer A: Hm... what? Hey, come check this out!
Programmer B: What is it... oh... ugh... hehe... Hahaha!

On a completely unrelated note, I always thought that a Chinese would have reached the cap first.
