Quoted from teletub:How do you “artificially-inflate” something? I have a pair of used shoes I’d like to sell, and I’d like to artificially inflate the price on them. If people buy it, it’s worth that much, Your opinion of its worth is meaningless if it sells on a free and open market.
Prices on things get artificially inflated all the time, what are you talking about? The most recent example I can think of is in the retro gaming world, the company that does the grading, also owns the auction house, and they bid up a lot of items into insane territories. Maybe you remember the million dollar super mario bros cart thing that was going around in the news last year?
