Yes, its possible to be sold out.

Ok, I don't claim to be much of a speculator when it comes to playing the market in this game, but this strikes me as funny.
Off the top of my head, it seems people have bought up the supply of superior absorption runes under the mistaken belief that they are not global, as in they only apply to the particular piece of armor to which they are placed. Well, I find this amusing. I can't think of any other reason that the supply of superior absorption runes would dry up after they were nerfed from protecting against elemental damage. I guess another possibility is that people think ANet will change it back to the way it was and the value would go up, but this ain't gonna happen.
Why else could the rune traders have sold out of them ?

It is quite possible that many people had their superior absorbs on their knights boots. Now that knights armor is more or less usless, people are crafting glads boots. Maybe the trader is running out because people are buying them to replace failed salvages from existing armors.

Some items just get Sold Out...It doesn't have to be some huge scheme...
Take Sapphires, and why they arent at the trader, but Rubies are.

funny thing is... if its sold out at trader (which it apparently is), wouldnt the price be really high when you sell one to the trader?
i just tried to trade one at trader and the price was 800g... no biggie, considerning it used to run 40-80k when in high demand.
another anet glitch?

Sold Out actually means it stays super cheap, because the only way for the price to raise is if an item is bought more at the trader - which cant happen if its sold out.

I figured there was a bug somewhere, as the trader said the last sold was @ 800g, while after the quote he would only pay me 144g (merch price).
This happened every time I checked over a period of 15 hours or so.. haven't tried the last 8-10 hours.
I know the superior absorb has dropped a lot, but not THAT much.

no it is not sold out. You looked in the wrong place. If they were sold out, they would have been worth 100k again.
Mournblade
what game are you playing shardfenix? there are no sup absorb runes available at the rune trader, thus, they are 'sold out'.

Well I know when they changed the Majors to -35 Health a few runes were dissapearing ( I needed a Major Monk Heal) I was told to camp the trader and check every minute. Sure enough I got one. I did try camping for a Sup Absorb though and couldnt get one.
On another note I see people in places like Kaineng trying to sell Sup Absorbs for 100k. Yeah like Im really gonna pay 100k for that lolz
Best bet is to wait to see if there is a reset.
