    It's because equipping them makes you run faster. It makes it easier to farm hag, ma, and pappy with the extra speed.

    You can sell all sorts of items at weird prices.

    I remember someone telling me they were able to sell a torch on day one of swamps for 500k. haha

    I once put up the weapon you get when you start a character, and it sold for 10k!

    Torches used to be in CS all the time, mostly for around 1k.

    But, if nobody is listing them and only one merchant notices, he's perfectly free to list one or two at whatever price he thinks will sell. There's no scam in that.

    Now, if he goes around advertising it's in CS and that it's a discontinued item, that's a different story.

    Oh btw, 80k for a torch is pretty easy to undercut

    Guys, I don't see how listing something at an horribly high price in CS is a scam. I don't like it but it's no more a scam than the local chevy dealer trying to sell an Aveo for 200,000$

    You can't really get your money back once you find out it was way overpriced unless the dealer committed to something he's not delivering (for example if you can prove he told you it was the fastest car on earth and somehow you got it on video).

    Bottom line is that we have to check our backs when buying...

    Wow I thought torches were the highest dropped, most hated, and annoying item out there! The only thing that it is good for is for people that like to make bigger torches composed of zombies, poke fun at a yeti, and look like you are in the olympics!

    Buyers need to do their homework if they're unsure. It's not a scam. The seller isn't trying to trick them into buying it if they just put it in CS. They're only giving them the option to...

    My aveo is NOT worth 200 grand? The guy said it goes 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and it has a special Flinstone back up engine!

    not a scam, it's just a bandwagon thing of overpricing stuff. It's like when I go to Six Flags and they sell their sodas for 3 bucks when on my college campus, you buy them for $1.60. Convenience plays a part in it, but really, it's the buyer who makes the ultimate decision. And if the seller advertises their merchandise to butter up the buyers, then they're just pro at what they do.
