Right now the economy is wacky. A week or two ago I saw a couple manastones sold for cash in the 12-13k range. 1 month ago I saw one sell for far cheaper. Now all the sudden it seems like they are worth 20k and for no apparent reason since Kunark is a long ways off.
My guess: Big influx of newer players finally getting to the level to camp one for themselves, an alt and for trading. Camp is hard to get now so demand is high. Give it time it will level off as right now I think it's just artificially inflated. Also more people have PP now and are willing to split with it so there's inflation going on. 10k plat is worth less now that it was a month ago. There is a far greater influx of new plat than rare drops so they just become more expensive over time. When was the last time you were in Rathe Mntns and didn't see a few people killing HGs?
