Why is everything so expensive on our shard?

Seriously!

I spend a great deal of time on FindUO comparing prices for objects I'd like to buy. Sonoma is routinely 50-150% higher-priced for even the most mundane items.

Some examples:
Potted Tree; Sonoma 1.5M; GL, Pac, Atl, LS 600-900K
Crystal Token; Sonoma: 150-300k; most other shards 150k
Ugly flowerpot; Sonoma: 1.5M; others 250-500K for even the pretty ones
Personal Attendant; Sonoma 400k; Eur, Drach, LS, Napa, Leg, no more than 300k
Ethys; Sonoma min 2M for even 3yr ones; other shards 1.3-1.5M for 3yrs.

I purposely chose items not inflated by turn-in.

What gives?

@Queen Mum -

Yes, but I'm comparing Luna to Luna across shards!

I can't afford to live here anymore !

Agreed. Since shards like Atl have more players items are more available whether through more farming, crafting or whatever.

everyone tends to hoard things on sonoma due to lack of population, especially anything pvp related. noone wants to sell something that there gonna wind up getting there butt whipped with on a regular basis.
