If you're the only one who can get their hands on it, you'd want it to be a reasonable price. Double+ Base Price is NOT reasonable by anyone's standards, no matter if there is a lone soul that can get there or two or 5 or 10.
I used to go and buy younger folks Dyneema Trench coats, when I could reach them, for $20,000 mark-up, and they were more than happy to pay that much for something they couldn't get their hands on. The Dyneema Trench coat isn't as expensive as TiB<sp?> armor, but it still goes on the same principles.
The only difference was the scale of it. That was a highly expensive weapon in the first place..Tacking on $300,000 to it might have brought in some customers, and 3-5 people buying that could of netted Rafal $900,000 - $1,500,000 profit, and that's only for the ARMOR.

I was involved before Raf was even level 60.

id hate to go against you tommi, but i think you were defending rafal when i proposed the "gun show" idea.

Wouldn't shock me..But I had friends over there. I already knew that pricing those items was a bad idea..I think I told Biff that it was a bad idea, too, but he was bent on getting it done..So, I didn't burst his bubble and let him plot his plots.
OH. -Just caught.- Where all of those level 60 items were sold in Downtown for a day? I know I protected him, because there are some crazy people that will pay ungodly prices for new/rare/unique items..

I tried to tip Pun 50k for getting the armor and he sent half back saying it was too much.
Thanks again Pun

I'm sure if Pun's ultimate goal was to get as much money as possible for these level 60 items he would have. Something tells me that wasn't his goal.

I agree GR, but regardless of personal motives, the monetary opportunity gained from years of hard work should outweigh any misgivings...
IMO
