I, on the other hand, will wait while people go on frantic shopping sprees, buying all they can, selling all they can and they'll spread all the information I need. What the items are used for, how they look, how expensive they are, and then I'll wait until the prices plummet. I've never really been in a rush for rare and exotic armours and especially before I know how they look.

A long long time ago, Spiritwood Planks did have a purpose, though short lived.
Port Sledge had a collector (of sorts) that when was traded 5 spiritwood planks, and some money, would craft the then-new berserker scrolls. This vendor lasted all of a month or so, but Spiritwood did have a purpose for even a short time.

I dunno... Didn't some of the old FoW sets require Spiritwood too? Could've sworn one of the Ranger ones did...

Don't know about ranger, but I know that ritualist did.
If I were much into the market my money would be on fur, diamonds, and spiritwood.
But I agree with the runes statement, runes and insignias will also rise (somewhat) during the first couple of weeks. But I wouldn't be expecting the huge price spike that occurred at the start of NF.

I'm already stocked up on all rare materials bar Gems and Monstrous. Ectos and Shards will never suddenly go back up in price because theres no extra demand for them with no new professions. I'm tempted to convert my ecto supply into Diamonds for that reason. I might even get back the money i wasted from not selling them when they were at 11k before they were exempt from loot scaling.
Can't see anything like Spiritwood or Glass Vials been worth investing in (i just got them for the sheer hell of it), although someone mentioned Fur Squares which sounds like a good idea. Maybe even Monstrous items, if you think we are dealing with armour created by different species... likely to be covered in claws etc (sounds like Assassin armour to me).

My guess is that each colored dye will get more expensive at first because of the new armour people will be buying and who will want to dye it.
In terms of materials I really don't know, but I do have about 10 Spiritwood Planks and stacks of common materials. Who knows maybe I'll get lucky for once.
Lol I would invest in diamonds but they're way to expensive for me now... here's me hoping they turn out useless for all you people who hogged them all (jk)

I've just been holding on to all of the materials I get. I have a lot of the more common things like steel ignots, but I'm pretty sure they will go up, if only a little. I also have quite a lot of runes of Superior vigor and a few black dyes.

I'm just holding on to the common and rare materials I get. I won't speculate on the market, though I might buy a few more superior vigors. Already got a few, but I doubt prices will drop much more.

There's a type of ranger armor (scout, I think) that uses spiritwood planks

The 'stock up' strategy didn't work all that well for Nightfall, because supply (drops) also increased. I suppose on day 1 you might make some money.
And the absolute profit on an entire stack of fur squares is probably not worth the storage space.

This absurd..
I really don't think that anet is gonna use diamonds for their new armor sets...
I have always believed that diamonds we're supposed to be an exchange item for 100k + deals (instead of ecto). A collection of wealth, just like in rl.
Anyway, I am simply gonna save up a lot of gold.

An entire stack (250) will fit nicely into your vault's material storage scetion and nothing else can go in that particular space, so you are not wasting any storage.
I think I'll just watch the market for the next few weeks and see what goes up in value as you all speculate and buy out items. Then I'll sell what I already have in my materials vault(s) before the bottom drops out again. Muhahahahaha
