The larger the margin is from retail to trade, the larger the chance for profits and losses to be made. 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.
I agree the value would increase but thats not my point, I'm saying buying used items over retail, limits the fun of buy and selling used items. If trade values were higher ppl would trade the item in instead of having to "play the game" and sell the item on the market. This would be the point of higher trade value. As for 1 million dollar items I feel as if these are the exception. I sell most items I acquire for 70%-75% of their retail value, way above trade but I have to try to sell them to the community not just hit a button and collect my cash.
