This would be the only reason for me to go farm herbs and make a load of money on someones expense . For example , someone buys all fjarnskaggl and relists them for 1 k each . If he ' s buying everything that ' s being listed then I would just go farm some herbs and list them for 500 g each , giving me a huge profit . He either buys them out or lets the price start falling . When people see the inflated price , they ' ll go farm and prices will start falling once the guy gives up or runs out of money . It would require a huge amount of gold to keep doing it for more than few days , so it ' s impossible to keep high prices for long periods . And even if I was so lazy that I didn ' t want to go farm herbs myself , I would just give it a day or two and the prices would be back to normal .
