The market price is distorted by the quasi-monopoly (or at least barriers to entry) to farm them yourself.
The price at 8500 was high compared to other items only a few weeks ago. With sky and planes farming the price ought to be falling (but hasn't much yet). OFC, the value of one if you need it is still equal to or higher than pretty much any other wep (due to vanilla's lack of a substitute good).
Eventually, they will fall below 500pp to whatever the merchant price is for them (250ish pp?) creating a built in price floor that will never go away.
I believe I bought a yak on blue for my warrior in sky era for about 7k...so the price isn't stupid high, but definitely seeing the effects of intentional farming imo.
