It seems logical that prices should be determined by supply and demand. If prices go up, no one will buy which means no one in Russia will be selling awards outside of Russia. I don't see much room for price increases..especially the common stuff below R3. The same problems have been going on with the antiques and collectibles business since it was born.
My parents deal in antiques..many times they get discouraged from buying at estate sales because dealers will bid the prices up until they are above what they are really worth. Dealers buy for their stores. They think that everyone will pay their outrageous prices and this isn't the case. They wind up stuck with alot of overpriced stuff and no where to go with it. Eventually they need to mark down the price and hope someone will see the markdown and think the dealer is broke or insane.
