I agree that something needs to change. It feels like it's so hard to get rare items to exist on-site in the first place, and only some people actually end up with them, so the others never manage to buy the item because not enough exist on-site for people to have them. (I've tried to get the southwestern items, and so far have not won a single auction since they were introduced, nor found anything but the wall-skull on hoards)

We either need a PC sink so people aren't sitting around with thousands of PC and nothing to do but buy up the rare items, or another way for people to buy items because it's kinda really hard to get things, not even new things anymore (I still can't get a black rug and those were added months ago!)
