This is what usually happens, there are two ends of a dial and the needle is always at one or the other - very rarely in the middle.
Has been like that for years
I can still buy poop, but it's no longer worth 10PEC/unit to me, more like 1 or 2, and that price is almost insulting people who collect it hence no more buying.
Be patient, and the needle will flip to the other end of the dial again someday
