I'm not sure if it is so.. but I observed that they seem to have fresh supplies of sup runes at *this* time of the day!

A few people will sell them and everyone runs to buy them so they can corner the market. Nope, no Sup runes do I see except for Vigor and Absorption

I'm not sure what's going on, but i swear I just noticed the whole range of sup runes appear on the trader, and pretty much go out of stock the moment you try to request a quote.

Either they do automatically regenerate, or someone is using a bot to rapidly dump/buy back in a bid to "simulate" demand?

Lol! Guess I wasn't the only one paying attention!

I suspect what they are doing is to try and jack prices up though...

Another dumb "someone is trying to corner the market" theory.

The NPC traders are better now but have the problem they had right from the begining in trying to establish a market value for their goods when they start up.

If something is constantly out of stock then the sell price (and buy price) are obviously too low. The NPC trader algorithms don't seem to work well when they constantly have low or zero stock.

An intelligent trader would love to have someone trying to corner the market - he would just up his prices and bleed them dry.

The NPC traders might eventually find a market value for these items, until they do ino one is getting rich or poor because their turnover will be so low they may as well not be there.
