I was curious about the issue myself, hence my decision to feel out the market on my fungi robe. The amounts people are paying for lots of items is sort of ludicrous, but hey, that is their prerogative.

I got a Froglok Bonecaster's Robe the other night and thought "hey this would be cool to have for my enchanter for resist gear." But honestly, I would almost never wear it - my insidious robe is better really. FBC is pretty damn common and I sold it for 10k almost immediately. One guy tried offering me 11k after I told him I had already agreed to sell it to someone else for 10k. The fucker actually got pissed at me and called my life pathetic (in so many words) because I didn't allow them to enter into a bidding war (I believe his name was Bunae or something like that).

So yeah, the market is hot and people are going to capitalize on it. What is this fungi robe worth to a person? I don't know. We're just going to see more and more of them. And yeah, at some point they will get nerfed. But in the meantime that robe could be ridiculous item for a twink. If you had 200k in the bank and rolled an Iksar Monk today, what would you pay to use that robe up to 60? I'd probably pay way more than is really necessary, but that's because I have a single-digit IQ.

I'm curious to hear others' opinions on the matter.
