I'm clearly in the minority here, and I've said this to my friends as well, but I actually do think the 100k price is justified on green and probably too little to be honest. And this is coming from a person that farmed my manastone (with help) and would never ever do it again for all the platinum in the world and hasn't bought one.
The reality is that green is nothing like blue was in terms of population or even knowledge about the population. People are non-stop farming guards, giants and all manner of secondary plat camps and generating massive amounts of wealth with very few outlets for them. There is also a difference in wealth distribution in the sense that while blue might have had individuals with obscene amount of plat due to bugs, etc., that wealth was concentrated on a much smaller population. When that person exits the economy it has a larger effect on the cost basis for things moving forward. With green, everyone I know seems to have way more wealth than one might expect, which drives averages up.
Finally, there are a number of acquisition pressures generated by the fact that list exists (as mentioned by Sethius) that people underestimated, I think, myself included.
TLDR; if I were a betting man I'd expect it to keep going up.
