Balmung's in-game item prices are relatively cheap, due to being a massive server with healthy activity in each section of the economy - RPers buy items that would be seen as more of a commodity on other servers.
But because it's such a massive server and now near-impossible to get into, RMT prices for Balmung are absolutely ridiculous compared to other servers.
But... since the in-game gil prices are cheap... why buy gil?
Housing.
Yep, that's it.
Which can some times crash markets, then stuff gets relisted at differing prices that would otherwise be ridiculous, and so on and so forth.
We're both lucky to have the server economy we do and also very unfortunate.
