Had you got in to your stock collecting whilst, to paraphrase Chaotic, it was in the old money era? That is, was you able to capitalise on what Chaotic has talked about? If so, this leads to an interesting question as to whether you think it would be as easy, or even possible, to build a vast collection like you have done in today's game, without buying any plat?

I wouldn't call it the old money era. Even though I started in 2011, I didn't figure out merching til 2013. So I basically merched from nothing and picked up the rare items, then I single handedly increased the demand on all of them so that they were worth more. At one point in 2013, I had 2 brooms of doom, 6 avalanche sleds, 4 sultans carpets, 2 divine brooms, 2 thunderstorm clouds, 3 celestial dragonstaves, 2 diabolic fellspines, and 3 arctic stormskimmers. I only sold my spares, as I am a collector as well as a merchant.

Now, in todays world there is a tradeoff between then and now. I believe the gold is more plentiful today, and that the items roughly cost the same(at least on lugh), so the items are cheaper then they were before. But the problem is they are only getting harder to find. When I stand in the castle and shout, Buying extremely rare items, and someone trades me and puts up a white charm token I just get sad lol.

Additionally, merching is always a viable non-plat way to get by. Even if the whole world knew about merching it would still be possible, as there are always good merchants and bad ones.

I don't understand why brooms and sleds are so expensive. The purpose of a mount is to travel. Thr faster the better. So other than a broom looks cool, it defeats the purpose of what a mount is intended for by selling it higher than faster but newer mounts. Maybe because I don't care about collecting or if my items gain value I don't get it. But I'd take a much faster but cheaper mount than a slower more expensive mount.

Fash has ABSOLUTELY ZERO use, but people still collect it. It's something fun to show off and fool around with, and the people who buy it just have fun with it. That's its entire purpose, and the purpose of the brooms and such as well.

Um, excuse me? my blue coven is the source of my awesomeness. Blasphemy! Shun the false profits! Fash is everything!
