Some prices are jacked up.
 
For example Forest loop. The other day someone was selling a forest loop for 3.2k. A few days later I calmed down about it because somebody was selling them for 350pp.

I've been searching for a Skull-topped Runestaff
Skill: 1H Blunt Atk Delay: 25
DMG: 7 Dmg Bonus: 23
This item is placeable in yards and houses.
INT: +2 MANA: +15
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=83 for about 7 days. So finally somebody contacted me in the game and wanted 10k for this 2int 15mana item because "it looks cool". This item drops from a lvl 26 sarnark in FM. He is Not rare, he just spawns in a certain spot. This is not an Epic item, it is a newbie staff.

I've seen other things wayyy over priced as well. Mainly because people are all focusing on the popular named items and when an item that is rare peeks it's head above water then people think it's epic just because nobody has seen it b4.

Keep you're 10k cheif. When i am lvl 26 I will camp these for 3 or 4 days and put them on the market at 200pp and flood some sense into these insane prices.

Thank you - come again,
Spooke

When you get .5 staves in 3 or 4 days, I will be the first to buy it for 100pp.

whoever quoted that price to you assumes you have a main with plenty of $$$, considering you were looking for such a specific item. that's what I would guess.

You're right it's a shitty item, but you're oh so very wrong on its rarity. I've ran the sarnak cycle for weeks straight for a particular item about a year ago. And during that month of killing the sarnaks nameds (who are already rare themselves, and will drop their loot about 10% of the time), I've seen that staff once maybe twice. Yep that's right, out of the 10'ish different sarnaks that can spawn and rarely drop their crappy loots, you're looking at roughly a 1% chance of getting the item you're looking for every time you get one to spawn. And it takes a while; you have obviously never spent time doing that named cycle. Nobody does, because there's virtually nothing worthwhile dropping from it. As Slave said, good luck finding a cheap staff.
It's what you call a vanity item. Don't like it, don't buy it.

the item sucks, get over it

I've noticed a guy auctioning an item the other night I didn't recognize....clicked the item link and my first thought was "What a piece of shit." So I ask him nicely "what makes this 2k?" thinking it might be an epic piece or something...."its a rare drop from kunark"

A rare turd is still a turd.
