Subject: Re: Kiting - Is it bad?


I might be wrong, I didn't reread it, but I think when they said "price
gouging" they meant that if you find something you can buy from a shop
keeper for like 2 gold, say... and then you can turn around and sell it for
4 gold.... That's not allowed. There might be something I missed, tho.
