I have been watching the price of Mystic Conduits rise of late and decided that now is the time to sell. Why? Because I was able to sell for 9g and buy the Nexus and Frame for about 6g. All I had to do was find the listing fee and I’d be able to make 3g profit and replace my Conduit.
Here’s the problem. The prices being displayed by a search bare no relation whatsoever to the actual sell/buy prices.
Mystic Frame search price: 2g 99s 55c
Lowest Sell price: 6g 90s 3c
Lowest Offer price: 3g 55s 57c
Mystic Nexus search price: 3g 76s 23c
Lowest Sell price: 6g 40s 96c
Lowest Offer price: 3g 74s 50c
Mystic Chest search price: 1g 15s 1c
Lowest Sell price: 3g 18s 2c
Lowest Offer price: 1g 22s 1c
Mystic Conduit search price: 6g 69s 99c
Lowest Sell price: 11g 0s 0c
Lowest 3 Offers: 6g 24s 32c, 6g 25s 1c, 7g 50s 3c
This one has actually changed. When I sold mine, the price listed in search was 10g and the highest offer was 9g.
I feel like I have been scammed. Whether by someone somehow manipulating the interface, or by poor implementation on ANet’s end. I sold my Conduit for 8g (after tax) and it cost me almost 14g to replace it (I had all the ingredients except the Nexus and Frame).
The winners here are the person that bought my Conduit for 9g and is now listing it at 11g, and ANet who just made $20 (actually $30, but I was going to buy $10 worth of gems anyway) out of me because I was forced to buy Gems and trade them for gold to replace my Conduit.
