gollark: Write the book, ***or else***.
gollark: *Or else.*
gollark: Do they just expect stuff to cost the *same* despite the same demand and lower supply?
gollark: I don't see why they expect that to help, if people are willing to buy it at higher prices.
gollark: No it's not. The price is high, so you should sell it.
