Not trying to "get in your business," but about your question on the Q&A page about offering 1 mil for ashes or 1 gp for a divine spirit shield: Were those examples just tests of their answer that floors and caps would be removed?
----------
It was to test whether Jagex is truly going to remove price caps and floors on the GE.
Unfortunately, though they said they were, their answer gave an indication that they didn't understand those questions.
For the record, I was asking whether you could make those *offers* if you want to, not whether you could actually *purchase* those items for those prices.
But I do think that the price caps and floors are going to be removed, since one of the JMods said the same thing in answer to another post: that price ceilings would be removed.
As for making ridiculously low or high offers, there might be some instances in which people would do it.
For one thing, people who have more cash than the game allows in a stack need somewhere to put the extra. So they might make a ridiculously high offer on the GE that's never going to get fulfilled in order to "store" cash there.
I'm not sure why someone would offer 1 gp for a divine spirit shield, but I bet someone will find a reason!
Now, offering 1 gp for fire or mind runes might actually make sense, since they are pegged at their floor of 5 gp, and it's quite possible that they could go down to 1 gp before all the pent-up stock sells.
And price floors or no price floors, 1 gp is the absolute price floor! ;-) If you manage to buy something for 1 gp, it will never lose value. It has nowhere to go but up!
However, even that is not totally risk-free, as an item could become so over-supplied that it can hardly even be sold at 1 gp. So you could end out stuck with large stocks of an item that you can't sell, or can sell only very slowly
