    It’s the same reason why we spend 5 bucks on coffee at Starbucks when we can make it at home, or why we hit up a prostitute when our wives are working late, or why we are happy to just defecate in our pants when the bathroom is 10 feet away: Instant gratification is awesome.

    what about when your wife is the prostitute?

    I think that there are also a lot of players that have more stubs than they know what to do with or they’re not collectors so they don’t have a lot of players locked down.

    You gotta think alot of people who play this game have never taken an economics/finance class or experienced supply and demand first hand either. A lot of kids play video games

    Okay, I'll be the nerd to take us there... The concept of supply and demand is actually the answer to the OP. Demand exists on a downward sloping curve, less quantity is demanded the higher the price, but it isn't 0 demand. There are some people (although fewer) who are willing to pay a high price, based on whatever their circumstances are. This market is a pretty decent example of free market economics, if I were a high school economics teacher, I'd probably try to find a way to use it.

    I'm surprised Ortiz and Walker aren't tanking in price more. Rivera will likely stay around 100k but I thought with the flood of TA 3 players to the market yesterday that the other two would drop down to the 70k range. Trying to hold off buying them but it's getting tough.

    I graduated with an Accounting degree so I know how it works. I was just more saying why these kind of things happen

    Yeah, I wasn't questioning you as much as using your reply as a time to chime in!
