So, I'm not sure if anyone has said anything about it, but is the AH the ONLY way to trade, or is there player to player trading that removes the need for the AH?
Also, I am an econ student almost graduated, and this whole scenario is going to be a great economic experiment. That being said, I'm not happy that I have to be a part of it. lol

I have heard about player to player trading in D3 but its not as easy as going to the ah and anyone can buy stuff you put up. Just like other games with ah

Read my post on previous page please and you will see that the math is correct in the OP

The example you make with the 10 axes is math wise wrong! sorry to say, but when you say that the axes for gold costs 2000g and the others 20$: 1$=100 gold. at that point you wont get a "benefit" out of buying the axes for 2000g and sell them for 19$. and 19$ is the same as 1900g in your exaple

But i think the RM AH is a good idea; also for supporting the game money wise.. in the end it will be 3rd person creditor and blizz who makes money.
and all the real money in D3 will come from us 100% cuz if someone sets up a sale on a axe, someone at first hand will have to use money from their own wallet...

The math is correct as he goes to say that 200g = 1$, You are just reading it wrong. You go with huge profit from it. That's why you look for the gold per dollar thing so you can check what is most profit from and then buy out all the cheap stuff. The axe for gold is ~50% cheaper then for real money in the example.

5 axes: 2000g each
5 axes: $20 each
200 gold = $1
2000 gold = $10
3800 gold = $19
4000 gold = $20

2000*5 = 10000 gold = $50
3800*5 = 19000 gold = $95

19000 - 10000 = 9000 gold = $45

Buying the axes for gold then selling em will be a profit of 9000 gold or $45.

everything in real money for the lulz
