I usually agree with King's PCs (when it's something I have any clue about to begin with,) but I have to disagree on his guess for 3 because of what I stumbled across last night.
I had an r12 insc. Mursaat Hammer, and a friend recently told me 10-15k was a fair price if I was looking to sell it. Last night I found a buyer in game asking for a req. 9. I told him I had an r12, and showed it to him in trade.
Before I could quote a price, he offered 20k in the trade window for my req 12. (I thanked him but told him I was going to ask for 15k, so that's what we traded for in the end.)
That's the only experience I have trading insc. Mursaat Hammers, so perhaps my friend's and the buyer's ideas on their value were both way off? Either way, I'd be trying for a lot more than 20k if I now had an r9 to sell.
As for the rest, I'm not at all sure of prices. None of those staves look like merch food to me. Without better and more specific targets, I'd set s/b at like 5k and see what kind of interest there was.
I sold an r13 Channeling 20/10 Plagueborn Staff for 5k a month or so ago to someone looking for a Channeling staff, so I suspect your r9 is worth at least 20k if not more.
Ghostly Staves do come inscribable, yes, but I think the inscription versions are only for primary attributes (or Inspiration for Mesmers.) So neither of yours look like merch food for sure.
Cheers & GL!
