I was always under the impression that the price of ectos was the same regardless of which servers you are on. I have 2 instances going right now, one Amercian and one European, and the 'list' price of ectos on both is 9.5k, but if I get a quote I get 9k on the American server and 9.5k on the European server. Was I wrong?

I actually just did the same thing and now I get 8.5k on American and 9k on European.

Ok, just a few minutes later and it's 8.5k vs 9.5k.

Might just be a slight synch problem. Overall the price is the same. I miss the old days of different price lists though :/

If you mean from the trader I don't see how that is possible.

All traders across the worlds are linked together.

Once upon a time, all of the traders and merchants in each region weren't linked to the others. Because of this, people were getting rich buying low in International districts and then hopping to American districts and selling for higher prices. to fix this, A-Net linked the economies of every region so that the prices would be the same.

I've experienced instances where I'd do a sell PC from a trader and get a price, and just a few minutes later do it again and get a different price.

Now c'mon, this was what happened with the first Price Reset, when people could buy sup vigors/absorbtion for 100g?
