I can't imagine what makes silver z coins sell for 1.5k or so? What are people using them for?

Envoy weapons are high-end weapons obtained from Jessie Llam in the Great Temple of Balthazar.

Each weapon costs:

* 15 Skill Point Skill points
* 100 Gold Zaishen Coin Gold Zaishen Coins
* 15 Platinum Platinum
Taken straight from http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Envoy_weapon

This would be the main reason people now want these coins, although i'm sure they are used for other things too. (Like Tomes, Equipment packs, etc.)
Make sence now?

Except when you find out that almost no one sells gold Zcoins any more... when I was buying zcoins for my sword, half of the bought ones (a large part of them was actually earned) would be bought as silver simply because there was no one selling gold ones directly.

P.S. what I bought for zcoins: 10 heavy equipment packs, 1 Envoy sword, a few Zkeys.

Well seeing as how the only character i really play is my Mesmer. Most of my play is PvP but he's a PvE character, i got him a heavy eq pack, and have been selling all my coins since, easy 150-200k on RA quest days, substantially more for GvG days(counting strongboxes and keys for balth faction)
