30k for a gold strength ex aegis is actually pretty average, as for the chaos axe it isnt overpriced either its just the high end of the average pricing, why qq? Just dont buy it.

Who says they're overpriced? Prices are player driven. If you don't want to buy them at that price, don't buy them.
Hang around a little longer and you'll see the price fluctuations with items. You'll learn the average price of things as well with enough looking.

Can YOU find a q9 max INSCRIBABLE Chaos Axe?
Acquisition Obsidian Chest Zaishen Chest also the exalted aegis is probably the skin, not the green. Acquisition The Deep - Random drop Deep Jade Chest Kanaxai's Chest Urgoz's Warren - Random drop Stoneroot Chests Urgoz's Chest Not easy items or areas to farm/get so yeah those are decent prices. |

Nobody is forcing you to bid on that item, I see many items I think are overpriced, I hit the back button and go into the next WTS thread/Auction.

not only all this, but everything has a price, and everything is worth something to someone. ive had a friend buy a cigarette for $0.50 knowing it should cost .25, but he REALLY wanted it so he paid more(I know that was a bad example, but an example it was!). its kinda like that in GW when you want something bad enough.

QQ? Money is so easy to get in this game. It's funny that you think stuff is overpriced now when some runes were 80k+ and Greens were 100k a while ago.

Most things are overpriced. 90% of people trying to sell stuff in towns with all their "perfect" crap items never actually make a sale. Just because people are selling doesn't mean people are buying at those prices.

Also take into consideration that 2 things are true about a seller:
If you think a price is just too outrageous, the best display of your anger is to ignore the thread completely |

If you look back to a year or two ago the prices for those same items were so much higher. IMO prices for most rare stuff is under priced by comparison.

Less of an availability of item X = more people want item X = Item X is more expensive

somethings are rare, they are worth more, makes sense. also those prices are expensive at all, and i mean at all. a lot of things in GW are very cheap too, any green, just as good as any other perfect weapons, are worth like 5k when the same item but not green is worth like 30-40k. belive it or not a lot of people have enough money to buy those things every so often. take a look at rare mini pets in high end, if you think 80k is high then your heart will stop at those prices. Everything has a price, and that price is however much the buyer is willing to pay for it and the seller sell it for.

Whenever you see an item for 80k, you should know that if you look around a bit you'll be able to find something just as good for 12k -- for example if you find a q11 chaos axe insc or oldschool with the inscription you want, it'll probably be 10k.
Either that, or wait till the price drops and people get pessemistic, then you can find one for like 5k. q9 expensive skins = for rich people q10-13 expensive skins = dirt cheap and just as good WTB q9-10 heal BDS 70k OBO Last edited by Lux Aeterna; Aug 13, 2009 at 09:46 PM // 21:46.. |

80k for a scribable chaos axe is a pretty good deal.

Yeh things like inscribable chaos axes are hard to come by,the only one I've got was z-chest luck (q9 too ftw).Thing like that and say jitte's are expensive because you don't see inscribable ones often.
