I've been watching the prices of L75 BSM pinks in the CS for the last week. For both the str and dex items, the prices have not moved very much (haven't paid much attention to int gear, so not sure if it's the same). I see the big items, like armor, scythe, str shield, dex helm, holding steady at 1-2 mil. Some are near the top of the range, some the bottom, but the prices are pretty steady.
The reason this confuses me is that the drop rate for BSM pinks seems to be pretty good. I usually have very little luck on farming pinks, but even I'm seeing regular drops over this same time period. I would say more often than not I see at least one drop in a 1-2 hour farming session. This is infinitely better than the rate I saw in Nuri's and Fang, and beats Humania too. So why aren't the prices coming down? If the drop rate really is decent and farming is going on continuously (which is normally the case), then shouldn't there be a steady stream of pinks flowing through CS to push prices down? I just don't understand what's keeping them up given the apparent drop rate. Can anyone shed any light here?
