Where did the marker stakes disappear to?

Marker stakes have always been the rarest of expansion items but supply has completely dried up over the past week. The rest of my hood has the same problem, so no trading within hood possible. Anyone else noticed the same thing?

Somewhere else someone is saying "deeds are the rarest" or "we never get mallets". Everyone sees different main item. Matters no if land, barn or silo materials. Rare item for you is common item for someone else. You not seeing because everyone saving their materials waiting for scrolls.

I've been getting about three times as many marker stakes as deeds and mallets. I've been selling extras.

For me marker stakes are somewhere in between. Deeds are usually plentiful, mallets are as rare as hens' teeth.

It seems that our individual rare items have become even rarer, I have noticed that too lately.

Got lots stakes, need deeds - I'm sure the game looks in your barn and gives you what you don't need.
Try passing all of what you have excess of to a neighbour and see if the balance changes.
