I cannot understand the new format of price reports on the item discussion forum topic for discontinued items. What are they trading at these days?

Wow that's kind of complete insanity. I would consider getting one but I don't get how people can be rich enough for entire sets.

When they're 30+ living with mom and dad with no bills to pay, a McDonalds paycheck towards solely bonds could add up quite a bit after a while.

Well, to do the math: 9B for that one. Bonds are ~19m for $6. Let's call it 475 bonds. That's ~$2850. Depends a lot by state, but let's be generous and say $10 minimum wage. That's 285 hours. Using Newb's implication that they aren't paying much outside of bonds, I'll dedicate 25% of their pay to other expenses (no, I won't bother with taxes and whatnot): so it'd take 380 hours to have money for other things plus bonds. Work 40 hours per week, adjust for the average length of a month being 30.4 days and not 4 square weeks and we'll round down a little: 170 hours per month. It'll take 2 months and a week while spending 25% of your 10/hr job to buy a purple phat. Spend your life that way for a year or 2 and you can get a set (did not really do the math on this one; just an offhand guess).

either that or they had a LOT of climbing boots in their banks lol

most likely part of merchant price manip clans, who make billions fixing the market on specific items (buy items 10% over until they increase by 30%, then sell at 10% under, you make 10% profit over all, but need a lot of capital (and a fair few limits unless its limited supply, coz of buy limits) to do it)

(thats why rares are manip the most, coz its a very low amount of items, so it dosnt take that many people in the manip clan to change the prices like that as long as they have the capital)

If you're good at Telos, you can make up to 90m gp/h or so - this is doing 0/100-999% streaks, 999% kills or 800-999% kills. The rates hit around that mark if you're good enough to consistently do any of those type of kills.

Even if you're not good enough to reach 999% on a streak, you can still make huge amounts of money at this boss providing your streaks go on long enough.

It's definitely a boss that paves the way for affording multiple partyhats.

Other than that, merchanting/flipping is how others get rich. .
