so just to clarify- you rob the bank, make your getaway, and then after the fact support giving the guards guns. it’s funny how it’s only exploitation when you aren’t the only one doing it.

I’ve got 300+, and I’m not intending on making a profit on them (as was obvious from my failed idea thread).

While they were ‘rare’ it made sense for them to be more expensive. I got lucky and had about 50 in storage at that time. I’d actually been stockpiling multiples of everything from the Co-Op, and from every store I could buy, (as well as a lot of good .moar files)so that I could make a mad dash for the Flezz Peen one day, the way that MCB did. As luck would have it, the disappearance of the Master Balls combined with the dozens of people that missed out on buying them, or procrastinated, etc. turned into a goldmine for me. Speculation that the MBs would never again show up in the Ppwn Shoppe increased their demand, and since the supply was very low, some of us made out like bandits. That was just the nature of that environment.

Now, though, we know it’s just a matter or time before they show up again in the Ppwn Shoppe. And that means that prices should stabilize, like any other commodity. There’s no reason why a Master Ball should sell for more than 600K, at most nowadays. And if anyone wants to put together a real ‘Co-Op’ to make sure that there’s always a few available at a fair price, then I’m in.
