Has this ever happened? It seems like something people wouldn't be organized enough to do here tbh, but it seems that the people with A LOT of Ts to spend might be aware enough to make it happen.
It seems like people will blog a lot complaining about the prices of items in shops, and then people will slowly buy it anyway. That's how economics works, and right now we got an oligopoly happening in the shops, and what looks like collusion. Normally businesses will have high prices, and then they will back and forth lower their prices in order to gain the consumers that the competition loses through having prices that are too high. After a while the price will lower to about the actual value of the designs. Technically shops would make the most money by stealing all the customers of their competition.
When that doesn't work though, there is the strategy of not purchasing at all from these shops and having another shop with reasonable prices and ONLY purchasing from that shop. This will MAKE the shops having high prices require lowering their price in order to remain competitive in the market. I think that we as Tengagers, the community, need to be a little more wise in purchasing really expensive things. We WANT to buy cheaper things, yes? Waste less Ts and all, even if you are wealthy? Why not force the shopowners to come down by not giving them business, and only giving the cheaper competitors business.
The shop game isn't only played by 6. We are the major players in the game, and any complaints of high prices need to be blamed equally on ourselves. So the change begins with us, not them.
Maybe people like spending all their Ts, but I say WE play the shopping game a little, cause we're definitely losing.

I would totally be up for it but some people may not have the self-control. :\
Yeah... I think a lot of people have thought about this and stuff, but at the end of the day at least 5 people on tengaged will buy each item anyways :S
