you know how they are going to put that salvage thingy in for nightfall, so you can pick what you want and get inherit mods and such. do you think that prices are going to go up for whites? i know it sounds funny but...
I've heard this question before and it just doesn't make sense for a white item to ever be worth more than what the merchant will give. There are way too many good gold and purple drops, for a white weapon or offhand to go up in price.
