Two accounts still glitched. What a mess. Maybe they need more than one programmer working on stuff. Seriously.
So assuming that they do change (or rotate) the prize pool, is it possible that the price for some of the weekly prizes (especially the consumables) will recover slightly at a later time? Perhaps not to their former historical highs, but they probably will not stay at their current historical lows as well. If that is the case, it might be better to hold onto the weekly prize instead of panic selling for cheap right now.
Also if they do change the prize pool (instead of rotating), I believe it means that only a healthy supply of those items will now circulate into the market. Those who want those items will now find them more readily and easily obtainable, and the price point of those items will also be readjusted lower and probably not return to their historical highs anytime soon. So long they keep changing the prize pool to tackle the lack of supply/absurd inflation of some items, this is probably a healthy change on a general level.
However I also do recognize the fact that it does suck for the players who hoard those items (I'm not going to cry for them), and especially the ones who got those items at their historical price highs before those items become part of the weekly prize pool. This is going to be absolutely demoralizing for the latter group, and does disincentivize anyone from buying anything expensive from the TP/auction.

I would actually really like if they rotated the prize pools. I'm not a reseller or a hoarder by any means, but I could see it being a good compromise between those individuals and the rest of us (which I fall under) who want to have access to other retired stamps and collectables.

Am I hurting myself by not doing these at the moment? I saw there was a highscore board...
All my prizes got genned into the inventory.
They fucked this so badly that now there is an overabundance of items out there. The Snowbunny Stamp is going for less than a million on auctions atm, for example.
I personally am rejoicing because I always wanted collector avatars but don't have billions of neopoints or time to spend making bank.
If they decide to rotate pools, that would be a good opportunity for retired stamps or ultra expensive battledome items to stabilize in price, but they need a rarity in the quests as well.
I bet the guy with 60k accounts is hoarding evrything to be released later at inflated prizes once the tide has settled down.
As of now, the markets are a complete mess, so best to avoid buying or selling anything imo.
