I am seriously curious.
All the time, folks jump others for what they consider price gouging.
And yet, folks allow other folks to price gouge when it comes to Premium Points (PP's).
Here's how:
Folks offer/accept silvers for premium points.
Let's make the assumptions that that 1) the price per PP is 10K silver, and 2) that silver is $7 per million silver.
Now, if someone wanted say 5,500 PP's. At 10K silver per PP, that is 55M silver, or $375 for the PP's.
Most know SIMU will allow you to cover any gaps in premium service at $39.95 per month, so $39.95 for every 100 PP's. This would then mean that 5,500 PP's through SIMU would cost $2,197.25, or 313.893M silver.
This is a savings of 258.893M silver, or $1,822.25.
It should be noted that 5,500 PP's is an accumulation of 4 years, 7 months of points.
Most also know that large pools of PP's are diminishing. The more time that passes, the more deals are made, the fewer large pools of PP's there are.
With a diminishing market, and a competitor with a very high price tag, why would folks allow other folks to gouge the seller of a large pool of PP's? I simply do not see how folks can jump others for price gouging, and then turn around and allow other folks selling PP's to be gouged.
I assert that folks that do/allow this should stop being hypocrites. Further I assert that anyone selling PP's should be allowed to place a reasonable price tag on their large pools of PP's. Hell, even at $20.00 for every 100 PP's, that is one helluva deal for the buyer, compared to what they would get from SIMU.
Simply food for thought.
Respectfully,
SoS
