No conspiracy about it. It's obvious that a number of players (although could be fewer with multiple forum accounts) are making it a point to post tower sales, post questions about tower prices, claim they've sold several at certain prices etc, in an effort to inflate the price. Just seems like a weird thing to do.
So it's a weird thing to do, but you would sooner believe it's happening even though it's far more incredible than the rational explanation - which is simply that towers are being sold for more than 650. But it's not a conspiracy theory, oh no.

Who is it that has all these towers they are wanting to profit from? And is it really worth all the time and effort of inflating the prices?
It must be the illuminati. Either that or Dan has the towers himself and it's part of his plan to screw you out of your rescued prisoners.

I have sold countless towers over my tenure in this game, and I can tell you with confidence that no one pays more than 700 ctp for a tower. I can charge more if I want, I can claim that I've sold above 700 (I'd be lying), but virtually every buyer will hold out or look elsewhere for 700 or less.
Or maybe you're just a bad salesman.

When I need to raise ctp, I sell at 650 just because I don't have time to #*&$ around with buyers who are like "700 ctp ?!?! Can you give me a price break? So and so sells for 675".
Ah, a lazy salesman. Did you ever entertain the thought, for a moment, that buyers might not be able to find someone selling for 650 or 700, and pay the current going rate instead? Is that impossible? I'll tell you it's not.

But don't take my word for it - any major player in my legion can attest to having bought many a tower from me for 650.
I'm faced with a choice here. Taking your word for it, or taking my own word for what I've actually sold the towers for.
If you want to sell towers for whatever price you want to sell towers for then make your own thread.
