Ok, I'm a bit pissed off and confused about why people are doing this. Ever since Karma scissors came out Zakum helms are now tradeable. BUT what I'm seeing is people in the FM selling Zakum Helms for 80-100m. Like wth? They used to be about 55m MAX for VIP, Karma scissors are only 3,000 NX that's about 12-15m If you add that to a VIP run it would be about 70m MAX. Why then are people selling them for outrageous prices? And my question now, is Why are people giving in to this inflation? So I need you help Basil, don't make Helm sellers inflate like crazy.. I hate seeing things like this happen. link With the price of one karma'ed helm you could possibly get 2..

I think it's because that you also don't have to go through the trouble of: 1.Pot money 2.Waste of 20-40 minutes of zRun 3.Possible death I would rather much run anyway.

Z-helms are a one-of-a-kind item so if the person sells it, the person needs to get another one. That's why its kinda too expensive.

Because in Bera some people saw it as, ''Since you're getting a helm guaranteed if you buy it in a shop it should cost more since there is no risk in buying from sellers or no risk of dying during the Zrun or D/C'' Not how I think personally though.

There is no waiting time, nx is used, not pots wasted, no zakum quest needed, no traveling to towns. its just easier to some people but im not sure if it adds up.

People have their own worlds - They create whatever they want to, which seems either inappropriate or not for anybody outside.

I am not sure but i think it is because so people don't have a good enough computer to survive the lag at Zakum but they still want a zhelm. So greedy ppl knowing this take advantage of these people by overpricing the item.

Because you know which stats you get... With 55mil, you could get a 13/13/13/13 zhelm
