it's because of the fact that there are too few lvl7 trainers for sale... if it is much more supply than demand, then the result would be much more different...
Supporters could have joined the staff federation and given input on it unless I'm mistaken on the news post..
500k for the only lvl.7 trainer with 5 days to go.13 trainers above lvl.5 with 36000 users (0.00036%).This is insane.
