This means cobblestone might actually be worth more than throwing into a pit of lava and selling items for more than 1$ isn't a rip off.  Diamonds, a major sales item, are said to be valued at 100$.  Although some of the 1.8 rock blocks and a few other building items are bought at the server's /Warp Shop we have yet to see prices firmly set for anything else.  Economy is still up in the air and the only items which have fixed minimum prices are those few seen in the Shop.  So again, Diamonds are said to be worth 100$ each, yet players are selling them at lower.  Under half the price with some and others going yet lower.  There is no "value" to diamonds but for what they can be sold for and if it's left up to the players (like the old system did) we'll see the same thing happen. Devaluing of the economy. 
I am suggesting that diamonds be added to the items which /Warp Shop buys and somewhat soon. Setting the minimum price there means if other players want to sell a diamond for 40$ each they'll be taking a loss and have incentive to raise the price.  Those selling can gain more money if the lowest price is higher than what is being used now.  Underselling to this extent will be greatly reduced and help the players and the economy. If we're going to have an economy on Hometown then ought we make it a good one?  
Should there be a reason against doing this that has prevented them being added already, please do explain.  As it is now, all that seems to be occurring is diamonds going lower and lower.  There are only benefits to be seen from adding them to shop which I can think of.


The main reason to this post is that I want to know why they are not in shop already.  It seems a simple and obvious control to a main item in the economy, yet have not been added.  I'd like to know if there is a reason to this that I cannot see.

I agree with Chicken, seeing that the staff set a price, yet other players seem to ignore, I believe that adding diamonds to /warp shop would help set a base price for diamonds, preventing players from trashing our economy.
