scavengers and the economy

now i realize that the ammount of money a scavenger can make is directly dependant on the server economy, i.e for how much people will buy your mats for. most servers now have a pretty stable economy, but i am planning on making a scavenger on the new server, Franz.
so i am wondering, for those of you that had had experience on the Teon server when it launched, how was the economy at the start? were the prices high because everyone was buying mats to make lowbie gear, or was it low because everyone and their grandma's pooch were playing a scavenger?
and aproximately how long did it take before the prices stabilized more or less.

I played back in the OB, so I'd assume it was almost the same thing as playing on Teon when it first came out. The prices were pretty low, like Iron Ore was 250a each. People couldn't really charge more because nobody has any money at the start.

Yeah. Prices hover around 300a for at least the first few weeks. Can I ask you to check out this please. Here (http://dwarvenraiders.dyndns.org/news.php)
