gollark: * sells, and wow.
gollark: Like how XYZ Luxury sells elytra for something like 800KST while Sellshop buys them for 200KST.
gollark: While there's not an exact normal price, it's usually easy to tell if a price is very far above or below the common range.
gollark: Sellshop is buying at amazing profit margins though, I must say.
