Ecto Market
Inflagrantie
When do youn think the Ectos are again at 8k/ea
Gabs88
I've been saying this was gonna happen around GW2 release times for 2+ years now. Personally I exchanged almost all of my ectos for other items such as BU, consets, cash and diamonds / rubies / sapphires a month ago or so once they started to go up a bit. It was only a matter of time and anyone too dumb to realize that much deserved it! xD
----------
They're likely to hit 8k trader value quite commonly over the new few weeks. But I don't expect any permanent recovery for months to come. Not until a bit after GW2 release and possibly not even then.

The price will keep cratering as people dump ecto for cash to fill HoM or help friends fill theirs, however after gw2 release the market will go into hyperinflation.

Would think that that would be offset somewhat by the legions of people forced to buy fugly armor for 50/50 though.

Lots of people need materials for their armor. No one is providing the materials, ergo they need to buy from trader, ergo hyperinflation.
That or I'm a retard when it comes to economics and I misinterpreted the term 'hyperinflation'.
Snograt
Sadly I'm one of those people. Always been a mats hoarder so all I have to worry about is the shards and ectos - and I think I have about 60 of the latter. Now the GW2 beta is over, hopefully enough people loved it enough to come back to GW briefly to boost their HoMs.

Ecto just hit 6.5k at trader. Kinda regret keeping my wealth in ecto atm ><
Are people mass selling ecto to the mat trader or something? It's not hard to sell to players for higher than the traders buy price...

the market has gone a bit mad, but I'm uncertain why ecto have dropped while shards have climbed. Is it purely supply and demand or has something more fundamental changed? Any insights?

People may be selling ectos as a way to get a final push for their HoM. Also, as far as I know, shards are in less supply.
Zaph
My guess is this is just a temporary ecto price drop; after Gw2 release they will probably go up due to high demand but low actual supply of them. Few months after the release; prices will probably appease, and drop even lower due to selling difficulty in near-empty game.

I guess it really doesn't matter now main point ppl keep ecto because it's good commodity in gw. We can only hold so much gold. Diamonds / rubies / sapphires is another commodities but it will never over take ecto because the amount of ppl that is holding ecto far out match those. IMO if you want to put you money else where z-key i think is better choice.
Diamond/rubies/sapphire is for crafting armor and destroyer weapons for HOM point. If there any chance someone in GW2 want to come back to GW1 and work on title z-title pts is the fastest and easiest to work. Armor pts you need to get yourself half way to NF, destroyer you need to find someone to run to trade for you unless you do it yourself also require other material.
As for Bu and Cons although is a good choice but they take to much room in storage.
p.s For future investment medal of honor is not a bad choice either. War supplies go for 100k now or 17e convert back to MOH is only 10 so better stacking ^^ for storage space saver.

invest in old gear that u can't get anymore
carnage-runner
Old gear that no one wants anymore? And the only people who have it are demanding outrageous prices? no no. Zkeys, Warsupplies, Diamonds/Onyx, Saphires, Rubies, cheap undedicated minipets, tormented weapons/armbraces, hero armors. Those will be things people will come back to buy. So those are safe investments. That's provided you even care to make money in GW1 once GW2 comes out.
Drk Dervish
Good pts Carnage-runner I forgot all about hero armors, there stackable so investing 1 or 2 stack isn't bad either.

another good ivestment is these pets:
unded ghostly hero
unded mad king guardian.
Reason why I didn't put up rift warden is because people sync ha everyday for hours and theres a large input of boxes (that contain these minis) atlhough most people are not aware. So I make them aware.

na once gw2 start all the hardcore player and player with ton of cash will go over to gw2. The player that are left are player trying to finish HOM, or new gw2 player come back and try to give gw1 a shot and do HOM. Both of those pool wouldn't have that kind of cash to throw around to buy those high price mini.
I mean even now their aren't that much ppl can afford to buy one. The rich cow / collector player most likely by now already have one. IMO is not a good investment to do, these rare mini is so expensive because rich collector willing to pay for it. Once their gone it is worth less.

not rly, certain items always keep their value. ( just like the absolute top items in diablo 3 keep their value).
carnage-runner
No highend things will be worth that much. Or at least, they won't be easy to sell for profit. Best things to buy are things for HoM's. They will definitely maintain value and might go up significantly as more and more people come back to get that extra 3 points for the item they wanted in GW2.
