How does this thing called "deflation" work?

My question is How is this deflation according to items work?

I had so many thoughts about this because Shako used to be um, now its pul. BOTDCB was worth like 6 ists. Now its worth 2 ists. Enigma was like 8 ists. Then it cut down to 4 ists. The cost for low cta sky rocketed. What just happened. Did sum man spam the channels saying that the item is worth nothing now?

What do you mean "how does it work"? D2 is just like a regular economy. Prices rise and fall according to supply and demand.

People buy items, dupe them, the item becomes less expensive and that's how it raises and falls. Dupes will disappear and that item will be expensiove again. Up and down, you see? It can happen with any weapon, item or anything. Mostly the big, rare and expensive ones but you get the idea.

also may depend on how much people buy from those stores.(if anyone does that anymore) it is inevitble that the price were going to drop though.people bot alot making more and more runes and items so the things to make them get cheaper and cheaper.

The cta may be getting more popular or maybe some one bough up alot of cheap ones.

Sorry, I thought that most everyone understood the concepts of supply and demand.

Basically the more people people that are making characters that use shakos, the more a shako will cost. The price of a shako has fallen, though, and people are still making a lot of characters that need shakos, so the price is probably being affected by the number of shakos that exist on b.net. The more shakos people are finding, the greater the supply is, and the lower the price is.
