This thread will be maintained on a bi-weekly basis. I spent the day selling multiple versions of every tome to find the brackets, and those below are what seem to be current market values.

Please contribute your sales data so we can keep this list up to date. Thank you.

Yeah Ele tomes go for almost as much as monk tomes. I haven't had much luck selling Elite Paragon even at 4k. 3-4k seems likely.

It might just be my opinion, but it is pretty obvious that these are way overvalued, and you just were lucky to find someone who was both rich and desperate enough to buy at such prices. I think it is best that these "outliers" be left out of here as to not skew the data.

I agree with the guide's prices, but I differ on a few of the prices slightly:

Regular Tomes:

Rit - 800g-1k
Para - 500-700g
Mesmer - 100-300g (lots of wtbs for these despite their abundance)

Elite Tomes:
Ranger - 5-7k
Paragon - ??? (I always see people saying they've sold for 6k+, yet I've NEVER been able to sell one)
Ritualist - 7-12k (I find them for 7-8k sometimes, but they are so popular that you can get quite a bit for them)
Necromancer - 8-9k (very popular right now, but I wouldn't push it)

Updated some values. I'm not raising Rit elites to 12k until I see more data to support this. I've 5 to sell in game myself, so I'll see what I can get with some WTSs.

Thanks for contributions.

Why sell War so cheap? They sell really fast for 300g, and it's easy to get 400-500.

Buying Humps! (No kidding! Check my buy thread)

Hello Kitty Krewe [HKK] Forever!-ish

Been idling in Kamadan a lot for the past couple days. I sold my tomes when I saw wtb ads. I did hardly any haggling over these.

Elite Necro - 9k (fast sale to first wtb I responded to)
Elite Monk - 10k and 9k (took a while. plenty of wtb, but most wanted lower prices.)
Elite Dervish - 7k (again took a while. fewer wtbs than monk, but first few people I offered wouldn't pay 7k)
Reg. Monk - 700g (fast, immediate sale to first wtb I saw. still see wtb offers for 1k or more at times.)
Reg Necro - 600g (fast, immediate sale to first wtb I saw.)
Reg Warrior - 500g (took a while. fewer wtbs on these. first couple wouldn't pay 500g)
Reg Assassin - 200g (took a while to find a wtb ad for this, but sold fast once one appeared.)

I see LOTS of wtbs for Elite and Reg Rit tomes, but I didn't have any.

Thanks for the effort to keep these up to date - it's a great help to the silent and not-so-silent masses!

Not sure where you're looking, but a lot of these values are way off the mark. I trade Tomes daily in all chapters, and saying you usually see Necro tomes go for anything less than 6k is a rather fantastic claim.

Same goes for Necro normal (easy 700-800), Rit (1k), and Monk (1k).

Necro elite is hot right now though. Lots of wtb's and many ppl selling 9-10k.

Edit: I agree with the below poster except for the following:
Elite Mesmer: 6-7k
Elite Ele: 6-7k
Elite Rit: 10k+
Elite Assasin: 3k

We like to sell regular monk and rit for over 1k, but that mainly only happens on wtb's from botters and other desperate people with no skill points.

Been keeping an eye out for monk and rit reg. tomes under 1k (just because it makes no sense for me to buy them for more than the skill trainer sells.)

Just bought for 750g ea from a guru sale thread ...
1 reg monk tome

Standard sales and I stay sold out on all these and ALWAYS get these prices (last 3 months from the date of this post or longer).

ELITES:
Necro - 11-13k (13 rarely, 11 or less in a snap)
Monk - 10-11k (9k is a snap, 11k is hard sometimes)
Dervish - hard sales no matter price 5-8k always seems harder to sell. Sold last couple at 8k though.
Paragon - always harder sell anything from 7 to 4k, last-3 @5k each.
Assassin - 4k, but can do 5k most likely because 4k is a snap sale every time
Ritualist - sold all very fast @ 10k, but am certain next one I get will get 13k. Demand is very high lately.
Mesmer - harder sales period (vettir prices still left an impression on people even though keg farm is gone) 5.5k pretty easy sale... higher possible but difficult
Warrior - 7k easy.... even when goofballs are selling them for 5k in same town.
Ranger - 8k, 7k easy .... again...even when goofballs are selling them for 5k in same town. But the goofballs get to sell theirs first many times.
Elementalist - 8k ... always, and sometimes instant sale, other times its a wait.

NORMAL (this is a jaw dropper I am sure):
Monk Normal: 2.4k ALWAYS, and sell while don't other things in town. Up to 26 now at this price. Rationale: high demand for new characters, not farmed to death, and anyone willing to pay 1k will pay 2.4k just as easily. Anyone paying less can just go make they way to a trainer for 1k. Demand is too high for them to be any cheaper, but people sell them cheaply based on the cheap prices of the other professions. These skills from tomes for monk are too important most of the time for people to wait to get to the proper trainer, thus 2.4k... always [26, and climbing soldout of course too]

Best of luck on sales, and if you are looking to buy cheap from me... you need to talk to someone more desperate for a sale.
