A complex sweating poll

[Constantine]

I realize that sweatprice threads have been beat to death, but this is less about sweatprices, but more about people's attitudes to prices in general based on:

* Location
* Age of character

So, if you don't mind indulging me, please post with the following:

* Country you are from (if you live somewhere else, but consider your country of birth home, then feel free to list country of birth
* How long you've been playing EU
* What you think a fair sweat price is, using the current market price as a baseline
* Do you buy or sell sweat? (or both)

I'll start off:
* USA
* 1.5 months
* .6-.7, depending on volume, patience, and your ability to find a good deal
* Mostly sell

Note: This little post came to me because I logged on during the afternoon (US Eastern Time), and ran across some people claiming that buying for less than .7 is theft. They were Belgians (just as a frame of reference), which was interesting to me. I play mostly at night (my time), and don't people quite so vehement about sweat prices - so I got curious.

*I just go to PA and offer .01 - .1 higher than the current sweat buyer. I don't have time nor the patience to spend hours to buy sweat at a cheaper price, so I offer above the current buyer. If no one sells, I keep upping my price. Eventually I will get a bunch running over to me to sell.
*Buy

6 Months ago you were called a scammer if you were trying to buy under 1.0. In my experience the people trying to control sweat prices eventually realize it won't work and quit.

What is point?

Why? when it is not actually a poll .. what are you going with answers?
The price driven by the market

 

[Vedder]

* Denmark
* 2.5 years
* "Fair" is whatever the sweaters succesfully can make buyers pay. Noone is forced to buy it, and noone is forces to gather it, so the market price is fair whatever it is, imo. If something happens so the price goes up, more sweat will be gathered since it's more profitable, and less will be used due to the higher cost. Eventually the price would stabilize on a new "fair" level.
* Buy

Current price is pretty good i think. Supply and demand
Seriously, no sweat cap = lower sweat prices --> Lower ME cost
