this is how real life economics/business work, as you earn more money economy changes accordingly, and even though you get more money the value of it decreases, and this will work out very neat once we have some more stuff for money. I'm not sure how stable the economics will be, it may cause exponential money value drop, but its subject to change and we can change some things to stabilise economics if it gets wrong, as before the money reset we can do some experiments with it.

I will add a feature that tracks the wealth of the economy every few hours, so we can see if the market is crashing or not.

@Ush: I have thought about rental abuse, I plan to make it so you sell wheels for 60% of the current market price. That way people will think twice before buying wheels, but at the same time smart people can make a profit by buying them when prices are cheap and selling when expensive.  :D

i don't think economics will be dynamic enough to still assure profit with 40% loss though.

How did the prices of the rims got set?

A combination of predefined prices, an average player money multiplier and a regular percentage fluctuation on each wheel.

@Karlis: The fluctuation of individual wheel prices could present a small profit when combined with an upward market trend, but to make any money people of course better start doing their homework to know when prices are low and high.  ;)
