7-8k seems more than fair to me. It's a pretty kick ass item, and for some classes it is amazing. Find a zone with lots of mobs easy for you to kill at your level, and mow through them till bags full of whatever, sell off, repeat. Given say level 25, it should only take a month give or take to save 7k.
See, this server isn't going anywhere. All that is happening is Velious is coming out but that does not change much, to be honest. Those jboots are always gonna rock, and are always gonna be there waiting. And I am guessing, so will the players. It takes a lot of pressure off. If you can chill and just farm/sell/save, you got yer jboots. Only downside is if you play w/ friends who are leveling at a certain rate but hell, you could all get together and maybe cut a 6 for the price of 5 deal or something with one of the enterprising AC campers.
If you want the boots, take the time and go for em. They make lower levels especially very nice.
