If the items do go down I may consider buying, but for the time being it's better for me to just log-in once a day and collect the daily reward, build nothing, buy nothing and just wait for the resources to amass.
EDIT: Now that I think of it, in every online game I played recently those microtransactions became true macrotransactions, some even being more expensive than the full-fledged game (take look at the Sims 3 store, prices of pixel furnishings are similar to RL flea market or used furnishings, most of the sets being more expensive than a stuff pack).
