Bought 10 reg warrior tomes 300g each
Sold reg Sin tome 500g
Bought elite warrior tome 5k (lots of WTS @ 5-6K)

bought 100 sin tomes 200g ea (sold for 300g ea)
bought 8 para tomes 300g ea (used them )
can't find a rit tome for less than 1k - if I can find one for sale!
bought 15 war tomes 300g ea (used most but sold the few left for 500g ea)

never sold an elite mes tome for less than 6k (unless giving one away)
same goes for elite ele at 8k
elite monk is weird, sometimes 6k sometimes 10k - I just look for wtb's
elite rit is a consistent 10k whenever I need to buy, and 8-10k for when I sell
elite war i sell for 5k
elite nec i sell for 7k
elite sin i buy for 2k when i see them...i'll sell for 3k

just sold elite necro for 11k to a buyer in Kamadan.

I got one as a drop and figured I'd test shmek's prices from last month. The first wtb elite nec tome I saw declined my price. The second accepted it. So my finding is that shmek's not far off - I did not have a hard time getting 11k for an elite necro tome.

Sorry - I was lazy and didn't keep notes for how much I bought regular tomes for lately. I do remember for sure buying ...
- many (like 30-40) reg. rit tomes for 800g once from a single seller.
- many (like 20-30) reg. monk tomes for 1k ea once from a different seller.
... sometime in the past several days.

11x sin tomes 150g each
3x warrior 300g each
2x necro tomes 300g each

Off here.

Sold Elite Dervish - 6k, Elite War - 5.5k, Elite Derv - 9k, Elite Para - 6k.

Recently.

Elites
Assasins for 3-4k

Ranger for 5k
Warrior for 5k


Normal
Monk 800g-1k
Mesmer 500g
Assassin 200g
Ranger 500g-1k

Rit elite & monk normal and elite tomes seem to be in high demand currently.

more tomes from chests, bleh

elite monk tome - sold for 10k, my asking price, to the first wtb ad I saw for one

EDIT - later ...
I got two more elite necro tomes, so continued to test shmek's 11k claim. This makes three I've sold in the past week or so. Over all three of them I'd say I offered one for 11k to about 8-9 players with wtb ads for them before I sold them. I see people looking for these more often than any other tome, so it didn't take me very long to sell three of these for 11k ea.

Tried to sell Elite Rit to WTB ads for 8k, got laughed at by a bunch of people.
Yet a few weeks ago noone would sell for les than 11k...

Tried to buy Elite Rt at 8-10k, ended up buying at 15k after several failed bargaining attempts.

Sold
Mesmer 300g
Ele 750/800g
Ranger 300g

Elite War 6k


I see alot of wtb for derv/para but as they are not common enemies they don't seem to be around much. And rits are always in high demand.

sold:

Elite Mesmer 6k fast
Normal Paragon 400g fast, makes me think I could have sold for more.

sold 2 normal Rit - 2k (buyer's offer)
sold 1 elite derv - 5k (very fast, so probably under priced!)

Sold elite ele @ 5k

just sold elite rit tome for 11.5k, buyer's offer was 11k and I tried to sell it for 14k, which was no success,

Sold 2 Elite Necros @ 9k each.
Sold 1 Elite Warrior for 5k.
Sold Elite Rit for 12k.
Bought 2 Elite Warrior tomes @ 4k each.

Bought elite sin tome 3k. Sold elite necro tome 9k.

Sold all elite tomes @ 7.5k each
Sold Regular tomes @ 500g each

I have had a few people message me after a trade and say (LOLOL You could have sold that rit/monk tome for 10k lolololo) Which is kinda strange

Anyway, I usually only have to drop WTS in trade and i have a buyer for any one of them at those prices
