You are wrong on point 5. Once most everyone gets to cap level and has been there a whole everything that isnt rare or a comodity begins to deflate. Most people have lots of money sure - but if almost no one wants an item it begins to deflate.

The rare stuff that people want inflates just as you descibed though.

Commodity items are a bit more fluid and less easy to generlize about as you alluded too.

No, quite the opposite I think. As we acquire more and more gold the more reasonable the inflated prices seem. When my highest toon was under 40 and I saw a stack of wool selling for 1g, I would rather head out and get the stack of wool myself. But, now it's only 1g and why trouble myself to go out and farm wool when I could just spend the 1g to grab the stack, and spend that time farming up items worth far more? Money is therefore devalued amongst a player base filled with capped toons, and items are priced at the value a capped toon places on it.
