Purple Max Inscribable Items

No they're not. Gold versions are rarer, and therefore more collectable and worth more on the market.
Have a browse through the sell and PC forums to see for yourself.

Price isn't determined (much) by how useful an item is. Price is determined by its rarity.

depends on the skin unless you get a max req 7

Purple items are pretty much worthless unless it's an incredibly rare skin or has an incredibly low req. If it's req 9 or above and not an uber-rare skin, it's most likely merch-food.

People are just silly. They're still exercising prejudice from back in the pre-inscription days when purple inherents were hardly ever (or maybe never) max. Kinda like how the rural South still can't forget about the Civil War, lol. Plus golds are status symbols just because overall they're the most rare kind of drop, except for greens, but greens aren't popular because most have awful mods and they can't be dyed.

Amount of gold Vs purple also depends which mode you play in more often normal or hard.
Almost every single highly desired weapon in the game only comes in a gold version anyway.

) from other players.Look on the wiki, check on rarity of skins, that should help to figure out what is/isnt rare.

When it comes to buy/sell price though, the gold version will buy/sell for much more - whether or not that makes sense doesn't really matter.

Be interested to see one put up for auction, though.

it would be nice,but i havent seen any since since that weekend...i know for sure that there is q9 purple in existance(saw it in trade window,guy wanted 100e for it,but at that point none knew would it be common after eotn is released) ,and also q12 or q13(cannot remember well)
but none of them has ever been on guru for sale,which was quite strange
