It lasted long enough for me to close my position at 640m. I'm looking forward to seeing what price I can buy back in at. |

That is not true.
To a person seeking to buy game time, that PLEX is just as good as any other PLEX in any other location, but they have to buy it first. In order to buy it they must first see it, which means they either have to be in the same region (if it's on the market) or they have to be searching contracts for PLEX (if it's on contracts). Neither of those qualify as mainstream conditions for PLEX purchase. Most people do not buy PLEX from contracts, they buy them from the market. Most people do not search various regions for PLEX, they mostly buy from Jita, fewer buy from local hubs and fewer still pick them up from the regional market in whatever backwater they happen to live in.
While you can offer backwater PLEX at premium prices and get some sales from people who see the location of your PLEX as a convenience, because that's where they are, this does not expose you to a high footfall of customers and it does not intersect with the manistream behaviour of EVE players. You may well be waiting some time for your backwater PLEX to sell. A backwater PLEX may well be less valuable to the seller than the Jita 4-4 PLEX for these very practical reasons.
In order to draw most people away from their default approach you have to offer a significant incentive. The higher effort that people must put in to get to your out-of-the-way PLEX may have to be compensated. Hence your backwater PLEX is not really of equal value to a PLEX in Jita 4-4 from the customer's point of view either.
You can always sub your account using GTC and they are pretty much always significantly cheaper than the equivalent PLEX, but still PLEX is a hot item that is highly traded, frequently used and often discussed. GTC, not so much.
To a person seeking to buy PLEX for other uses that do not involve direct redemption for game time, reverse redeeming for character transfers, converting to Aurum etc etc etc then the backwater PLEX is a totally different beast to the Jita 4-4 PLEX. If you are buying to re-sell, if you are buying to stockpile, if you are buying to scam, then generally speaking you want those PLEX in Jita 4-4 and PLEXes in other locations are certainly of less value.
So, your statement is not true and even if it was it isn't the kind of thing that "people" are going to learn, ever.
The majority of EVE players act contrary to their own interests for the majority of their play time. Why would you expect otherwise? |

Most of us choose to use the market to place such public bets. |
