Scammers driving the prices up. That's all.
and i would take Nova everytime over this overpriced stupid looking frame wich is useless in late PogChamp.
So you are saying if it was nyxP then everyone would be seling it for 700+ plat? I think not. A rare turd is still a turd. Rarity does not drive a price that high. Why is RhinoP now selling for between 200 and 300 plat when it was easy to get and just recently revaulted? Rarity only plays so much of a role. Any idiot can spam Heircon.
Hell I still had relics left from before RhinoP was vaulted the first time. And stil worth more than NyxP which requires 2 rare peices with 10% drop chance (radiant).
An items usefulness is what matters. And EmberP is no better than many of the already vaulted warframes. Even accounting for that the price it's at is scammy.
If you stil don't think so then why don't you buy my account with Excal prime for no less than £10,000? It's ultra rare and unabtainable after all. It's a rhetorical question.
While logic merits, I still think it's weird voodoo.
I've been trying to sell a Boar Prime set forever, nobody bites.
Supply and Demand. She is in high demand and because she is vaulted, supply is low, because the average joe cant go out and loot her. If people wherent willing to pay the price, then the price wouldnt be so high, which is why less popular sets that have the same rarity are much lower. The seller sets the price by the willingness of the buyer.
And you need to learn to read.
You talk like EmberP is the a stand alone warframe. Normal ember does the exact same. Not only that but volt is far better for capture and exterminate. Objectively so.
Can we all just remind ourselves that we are essentially pricing a "skin" at 700+ plat. You can buy another game for that price. You guys are also forgetting how easy it is to control a market when in the right possition. Look at diamonds for christ sake. An almost useless material, yet valued at absurd prices for "reasons".
A market is not all just "supply and demand". You know what a monopoly is? Warframe is riddled with them. When I look at the warframe market I don't see a healthy supply/demand trade. I see a controlled market.
Ember Prime's price is a result of a tiny and long shrinking supply, combined with high demand. To put it simply, a seller of an Ember Prime set or BP can easily pass by any offer that doesn't tickle their fancy, and know their will be other people willing to buy it for as much or more.
Now, compare that to something like Bo Prime. No one want's it save as mastery fodder, so despite its rarity and the diffaculty to accquire one of it's components, their is no market for it.
A similar situation is true of many items in Warframe. Maiming Strike's supply is tiny and demand massive, so it's price is high as a result of sellers having to be convenced to sell in the first place.
Now you can contrast that to a situation where the buyer is at advantage, like with 'prime junk'. These 'worthless' parts are so common and worth so little in dukats that you can offer to buy 5 of them for 10 platinum or even less and in a pretty short amount of time get them.
Warframe's market is basically controlled by three factors:
1. Vaulting controls supply. Once something is vaulted, it can be years before more of it will enter circulation for a month or so again.
Ember Prime has been vaulted a long time.
2. Rarity controls price. Even if something is vaulted, it might be near worthless because it was a common drop on several keys/relics so everyone who wants one has one. Low demand exacerbates the problem as the supply dwindles slowly.
Ember Prime's Blue Print was scarce even when she wasn't vaulted yet.
3. Player Prefrence Controls Demand. Barring the extremely rare major statistical reworks of weapons or major changes to Warframes, the demand for a given item is going to be fairly consistant.
Ember is a popular Warframe to use.
Similar situations exist with the Soma Prime, where it is a perrenially in demand item as a popular assault rifle, and you can bet that when the Tigris Prime is vaulted their will be wailing and nashing of teeth about it. The Lex Prime might be ubiquitus, but the Aklex Prime's BP and Link only come from a relic that Barro brings occasionally, making those remarkbly expensive and diffacult to accquire.
In a free market like Warframe's trade, their is no hard regulation on prices. This is a totally free market, not one without some outside input, thanks to DE controling vaulting/unvaulting and Barro's inventory mind you.
If DE announced that, come December of this year, they would Unvault everything for the month? The effects on the market would be upheval such as we can scarcely imagine.
Tell That to the guy I replied to.
