Yeah. Unfortunately it's unavoidable to a degree, especially when a site makes items that are super limited. As long as it's only one or two coveted items, it's not too bad. It's when inflation hits site wide that things get ugly.

I, personally, have never understood the idea of items as status. I buy and want things because I think they'll look good. Not because I think they'll make me look rich, or elite or somehow show I'm a better member than others. I do believe if you sell an item, you should get a fair price based on what you paid for it to begin with or how much work you had to put into it. And certainly, the more rare an item is, the more I expect to pay for it. But for an item to pricey, simply because it's a status symbol just makes no sense to me. /rant :o
