i just wanna place and share with you some thoughts....
...i see the prices of the cards on the OFFICIAL market, drop down quite a bit...
...a booster-pack costs 2$ ...and that was the fair price the founders of SteemMonsters decided to introduce!!
...i will repeat myself... 2$....The fair price of a booster-pack...
....according to this they stated and all of us involved in SteemMonsters know, that in every pack you will get common cards and at least one rare....or... less likely one epic...or... least likely a legendary ...or.....when you hit the jackpot one gold foil card...
...i will not take into consideration the epics,legendaries and gold foil cards...if you get lucky you can hit one of these but most of the times you will get four common cards and one rare..that's it and i'm very happy with this!!!
...this being the case, enables me to make a calculation just to find out ...in a sort of way.... the price of the cards...
..what i'm about to say (in order to avoid misunderstandings) is not the rule,is not something i read somewhere or somebody told me...it is just what reasonable way of thinking means to me....
...therefore, 4 commons plus 1 rare in the pack ,gives us a ratio 4:1 on the 'value' of the cards...which means if the pack costs 2$ we have a value of 25 cents for each common and 1 dollar for the rare card...
....i think you can follow me, it is not nuclear science it's simple math...
...if you go to the Official Market section you will find out that (this very moment i'm writing this post) the price of the majority of commons is 3 cents and as for the rares is not exceeding 30 cents,actually it is 27 cents for the summoners and 8 cents for the monsters..
..so here come the questionS...
....if i am a new user and i'm about to built my deck why should i purchase a booster-pack which will cost me 2 dollars when at the same time i can buy the cards i want at a very low price (less than 1/4 of the booster-pack price)???...
...on the other hand if i am a big buyer of booster-packs,let's say i have bought 700 -800 booster-packs, what is the reason to make me sell these cards (which i have already paid for, quite a lot) for such reduced prices and not for the prices mentioned above???
...i agree that there are many answers a human mind can come up with like
- demand and offer will determine the price on the market
- i just wanna get rid of my cards,so i throw them at a low price what is your problem
- this is the price level which i find fair to give my cards away because i've hit 5 gold foil dragons and i'm already in profit
...i will not say otherwise guys...i agree....everybody has its own opinion and i respect that..
...but in a game like SteemMonsters don't you think that there has to be a limit on the prices???...at least a limit down ...a rule... a solid base that will guarantee that 'this is the lowest price you can sell on the market'...
....when i say makret i mean the OFFICIAL SteemMonsters Market...i understand that there will be...let me correct myself...there IS a parallel black market in which players can trade cards without limitations...yes of course this is how the system works in everything...but when you buy or sell in the black market you take a risk to be scammed so it's up to you....
....i am talking about the OFFICIAL market and only that!!!
...everyday there is a non-stop buying and selling procedure in so many goods all around the world....there is an official price sheet for every one of them though...
.....yes you can hit a bargain at a very low price...yes you can find a devalued item...you can even steal something for god's sake, but this doesn't mean that there is not an official price for it...
..so what i'm proposing for is an official price sheet which will clarify that 'there is a lowest price limit for every game card' in the Official SteemMonsters Market...you will not be allowed to place a sell order below that limit...
...i think this adds value to the game ...on the contrary when everybody is allowed to make their own prices this will eventually steal value from the game...
...i don't know guys....this is just my thoughts and concerns shared with you....i'm not saying i'm right...probably the founders of the game have already been through this scenario and maybe there is a reason for letting prices free...
....i would be very happy though to read what are your thoughts about this and i would greatly appreciate if 
....don't forget....kickstarter has been realeased!!!....join the community......
..thank you for your patience reading this!!!
