Default Plate Prices: How can I not look crazy?

So, I came back recently after about 2+ months of absence(Go go melting CPU!), and I quickly noticed Poke-mo~I mean Pankration had been implimented. While neat, I didn't exactially see a whole lot of fun once you get to level 50. Don't get me wrong, watching them fight is nifty, but the rewards seem... opposite of what they should be, and the stuff you can turn your Poke-money into is just more Pankration stuff.

That is, until I saw people selling plates. Plates you basically can get for free. Free money. The 'get rich quick' light in my head instantly went off, and I set out to the soonest Besieged to take some pictures. Now, it seems like everyone and their mom has a different idea for how much a given plate is worth. Having the ability to Bazaar overnight, I simply pluged in insane and criminal prices for my plates, and every night they don't sell, I lower them 5k. This has worked nicely so far, but I don't want people looking at me going 'This guy is a ripoff artest.'

Sooo... is there a general list as to what these things 'should' be worth? I know server prices are different, but there should be some sort of norm. Also, typically what plates are good, which plates are crap, and which plates should I simply toss because no one will buy them?

I don't know how long this thing will last, as I came into it 2 months after it started, but I intend to ride it till it colapses. After all, it isn't exactially costing me anything...

That, and how about that Chocobo track? I went in once... completly empty. I laughed for a good 5 minutes, but I digress...

I don't make alot of pets but it seems the popular ones are always:

Mnk job
Mnk traits
Instant Stoneskin
Instant Phalanx
Instant Blink
Attack Bonus
Attack +15%



From what I've seen most every pet will have one of those. Then there are other popular stuff like:

Spike spells
Whm + Blm scrolls
Dispel Attack
Sleep Attack
War Traits



I dunno how much they sell for. I buy them if I see one I want and am too lazy to go out. XD It depends on how annoying it is to get.

I'd imagine the highest value plates would be Attack Speed Bonus ones for various mobs, because that means a chance at an innate trait when they turn it in.

If you mule during JP times you can make a fortune. Phalanx, blink, stoneskin all sell for 20-35k on kujata. the higher price items dont sell for crap, anything attack related sells 1-5k. enspells about 1K cause any tard with sky can get them and never worry about aggro. But the real money makers are endispell, ensleep, wich is funny cause efts and (any low level)sheep doesnt aggro.

I recently found a non NM way to get Enpetrify (probly common knowledge to some of you) but no one uses it on my server (seen it used once). I'm not sure if i want to sell the extras i got, cause that will advertise its location =/ Could Probably charge alot for it though. (I want to milk any advantage i have even if its short lived).

So that maybe i can defeat the Rabbit Empire
