but there's nothing (in theory; please don't get technical-specific on my ass) to stop another phone or cable provider from offering a similar package at half the price.
Sure the cable provider can cut prices to half... and next month they wont be around because they went bankrupt.
What is happening with UO property is that people are giving it value based on certain factors. Maybe some of those factors are controled thru certain logic (the time they spent etc), while others are artifically maintained (like the fact that UO can increase the land to build on by two fold in a second).
Just because I'm selling my i486 for 2 million dollars doesnt mean you have to buy it.... or does it?
