Kurohana Shop sells Composite Armor for 700K. Underground Offers sells the same armor for "1,000K with -15% discount" = 850K. The underground "deal" costs 150K MORE than the regular shop. I am not okay.
Same trick with Blackape MW Armor: 2,400K in the normal shop vs 3,000K → 2,550K "discounted" in Underground. That's a 150K premium for shopping in the "deals" section. Incredible.
This is what economists call "reference price manipulation" and what the rest of us call "bro thought we wouldn't check."
BONUS ROUND — The AK47 Mythic Grief:
Buy price: 4,950K | Sell price (brand new, never used): 1,980K
That's a 59.9% instant depreciation the second you press buy. Your Mythic skin has the resale value of a used tissue. 🪦
My working theory: The pricing team submits numbers, management doubles them, adds a fake original price, and calls it "Underground Deals." The algorithm doesn't know. The community does. We always do.
Open both tabs, soldiers. Stay vigilant. 🫡
