Funny thing about the prices, at least in Bijou.
1st, I noticed the price raise. At one point, there was a lack of scrolls. Meanwhile, people selling at 200, even 300c were making some sales. When you buy a 300c scroll, the merchants notice. I know I did, which lead me to start buying out 100c scrolls and selling for 175c. It also helped that I reached T2 on decomp, so now I can use SBLs and convert them to SBLlq.
Thing is, I think alot of people noticed the uptick in scroll demand. Now I'm seeing masses of folks selling them. I nearly went broke trying to buy all of someone's 80c scrolls. Now I'm seeing scrolls everywhere.
Along with that, there's still a high profit for making the things. If you buy the mats at the highest price I've seen people buy at (SBL at 50c while Leather at 15c) you still end up paying 115-145c to make the scroll, and I doubt most people are buying the mats at those prices. The point? High profit on an item + high supply = plenty of room and reason for the price to go down.
While Inflation does hit MMOs, I don't think 200c scrolls are the future. The price is in flux, between rich people temping merchants by paying 350c for a scroll and the mass of scrolls being produced and sold, but I believe the prices will drop to around 125-150 with some 100c scattered about.
