Forget ectos! Who is buying all the Walnuts?
It’s the armies of robotic squirrels that will invade LA during the final Wintersday event…
OMG a zerg-fest full of squirrels…

Maybe it are people anticipating Christmas recipes or something?
I like nuts… shhhheeeeeeet
Perhaps it had something to do with our terrible butter crisis yesterday. (lol)
I see semi-successful attempt of speculation. Few people bought like 800k walnuts at average price of 5-6 copper. The price spiked for a while, but seems they didn’t had the gold to hold it up enough to take their money back. The consumption of walnuts is not that hight. The drop is higher than the demands, which hold the price at almost the same level. It is not the same base item as the butter.
Now if there is no christmas recipes, which use walnuts or if it there is, but not worth – the price will go back at the steady 4c sell / 3c buy . Some people will loose some gold, but not more than 200-300.
There is lot of market manipulations last few days. Some are successful, like the butter and chocolate ones (i think the chocolate balloon will pop any moment). In my opinion, all the speculators did is 100-150 net gold profit, increasing of all the prices and massive gold sink due to TP taxes.
I identified walnuts as near riskless before halloween and was very lucky to catch when someone tried to move the market on them. Until this I was kicking myself.
Thanks for the 14g and freeing all my bag space.
No one will lose 200-300g, if they brought the entire 800k stack they would lose 50g max.
I made over 500g on choc bars, when i took a break from the game i brought choc bars at 2c each.
Since i’m still on a break, I have spent my gold on butter and walnuts. I wanted to buy 500k walnuts but my pickup tab was full and thought they were safe as no one seemed to be stocking them. When i checked again the 800k stack was at 150k and i brought 100k.
The demand of walnuts is not being met slowly, i hope they fall back to 4c so i can stock the 500k i want.

BTW, how the heck can you buy 500,000 of something at 250 per purchase?
