Is it just human psychology?

Often when i'm collecting dust for Elrue's i'll have an imbalance in one of the ingredients.. so when i setup a buy store i'll usually set the one i'm low in a little higher in buy price and add another slot or two so i can get a larger quantity..

but without fail whatever one i'm buying quantities of, people sell me the least.

It happens every time, and it's a different type of dust every time.

I'm wondering if human psychology is at play here.. people are seeing i'm buying lots of a certain type of dust and are thinking it's worth more then i'm buying it for (even though im buying it for twice what most people do).

The odd thing is.. if i've got a large quantity of a certain type of dust, i'll still put it up to buy from players.. but i'll put it at only 1c instead of 2.. and those always seem to buy out the fastest..

it's just funny.

To me, if you're buying something in low quantities, chances are other people have it in low quantities also. So they sell you what they have in large quantities 1st, wich is the one you have also in large quantities.

seems logical but it's a different elrue ingredient each time. On time it's the purple one, next the green, then the blue..

if it was the same one very time it would point to a shortage in that specific type of dust.. what im saying is it is different every time.

Sounds like fable's price determination system to me.
