Players that are diligent are able to purchase items under valued and resell them for a profit. Trade values of say 75% limits the margin therefore limits the value of the market. Higher trade values would eliminate a large portion of the item market play of this game, a part I think many enjoy.

wrong - would drive up the price on the open market as everyone knows there is a base price of 75%, nothing would be sold at that small a value.

The current depreciation on items is astonishingly high. The very fact that a 1.5 million item will command less than 1 mill in resale a 33% depreciation in 3/4 months is huge.
