EEStats and Boxcar being down, I imagine, is part of what caused everything to drop. Can't see your market stats means you can't tell what tech is averaging, so you don't know what to put it for sale for. Ergo, you put it cheap so it sells.

Or,

Some of the warring alliances, have been farming for a while, some of them are teching, and we had a Substantial increase in amount of tech sold...

Now, I haven't looked at estates to find out if this is true,

Also if that's coming online just heading into a weekend when sales are weaker already...
well:)

But you can see market stats. It's even in the game itself... Just takes more clicks.

Volume of sales of BUS/RES didn't increase during the initial decline. It jumped around, but there wasn't an overall upward trend in volume. Aside from yesterday(A weekend), which had higher than normal volume, which may have saved the price of tech to a certain extent.

I will agree with your theory in regards to Agri Tech, to a certain extent. But you'll notice that as supply and demand rose for it earlier in the set, price hovered at $4000 like everything else.

IMHO, the price of BUS/RES sets the approximate prices for everything else, typically with Agri selling for a little more than BUS/RES.

My guess is the demand of tech is going down while the amount of techer restarts increase and they dont need to sell at 4k. They are perfectly happy selling at 3200 knowing itll be sold when they login

Dropping prices are also a reflection of those of us moving into the stocking phase who see little use for strat, weapons, etc. I forgot the point at which it loses profitability, but I think it's around 800-$1,000. So the smart move is to sell it off while you can and get back 75% of what you spent in the first place.

tech is 2 points per technology, same equivalent as a tank minus upkeep. Tech isnt worth selling under 600

you can't sell tech under 900 (you can but it gets autobought).
