the bigger picture is that actually v2 is good for everybody overall

i earn more because the entire volume for the rental market has gone up (v2 market has more volume in a week than v1 market had in three years !), not necessarily because prices have gone higher.

actually most prices have TANKED (including most of my own cards) which is awesome for rentees like yourself. feel free to check through what contracts you have and see if you can find a better deal on v.2 because chances are, you probably can save money
