Hi D I have seen the MP get bought out all the way down to about the 170k or 180k level a number of times throughout the normal FS day and within 10 or 20 minutes go back up to 200k or even 210k and then over the next few hours stick at about the 190k to 200k levels, and THEN get bought out again down to 170k or 180k and the cycle repeats.
For me I have always just looked at it in the way that selling above the 180k or 190k levels was just to get quick FSP. So for me that would set the "ordinary value" of an FSP at about between 170k and 190k, with the gold dumping/quick FSP offers above 190k/200k happening in cycles.
I have always wondered who would be crazy enough to buy all that gold in a sudden burst all at once down to the 170k/180k level, unless they were using the gold for scavenging/forging/hoarding, because reselling that gold at 200k for example would be pure lossmaking.
To be honest:
a - I have seen those times as an opportunity for me to sell my gold for 185k or 190k before it went up to 200k again.
b - I sometimes buy gold at 205k or 210k and wait for the drop and flog it for 185k/195k again to make some profit.
erm .. Patent Pending on what I just said LOL 
I think that is just how the market works D.
