I have never seen these prices so high..
Can anyone explain why?
99k for vigor and 90k for absorb WOW
Whos hoarding the runes?
Sup vigor / Sup Absorb, Omg 100k

hehe like the first month

It's due to the fact that the traders aren't paying players enough to buy them so thus, the players decide to trade them for better gold. I don't blame them though.
Hysteria
Yeah, current prices have been like that pretty much since release. There was a dip for a while when the rune trader was implemented but Im not shocked that they are back up.
Axle_Fieshe
well i bought one a while ago and sold it yesterday for 64k, that made me happy.
November Raine
I had just had a thought. what if the prices get above 100k (if at all possible) then it would not even be possible to buy. hmm well it's probably not possible to go above 100k
sino-soviet
wait a week or two and they'll be back down to 35-40k.
Autumn_Leaf
wow. 100k. doesn't really suprise me with the market these days. like a month to two weeks ago you could have bought them at 40k-60k. the market is crazy, but its the players who have the real control. supply and demand is the system, and the people with a disposbale income sometimes decide to screw up the market. Ex. is yellow dye usually sells for ~100 one day it was up to 1400.
ShadowStorm
I bought 3 Sup Vigors about a month ago for 29-32K each and I still have 2 of them... I'm so happy they're back up at 100K...

Buy majors. Work just as well, cost way less. An extra 10 Health for a superior is totally irrelevant. Very rarely do I ever get down that low and not die. If your healer can't cover you that low, they can't cover you 10 hp higher. \
Superiors = $#!7

Peaking at 99k-100k at the trader right now. Seems like this happens in cycles. Soon, in a couple weeks, they will go back down to 40k or so. Funny, just 3 days ago I saw atleast 4 people trying to sell unided superior vigors for 45k, and they weren't having any luck.

Merged Free4all's new thread with this one. Let's keep rune prices in one spot.

Thanks aniewiel, must not have seen this other one. Doh!

an auction house would keep the prices at a realistic level.
Draygonia

That reminds me when the game was first released.
I can't believe that they're so expensive again. When the price first went down, I was hoping that it would stay down.
The economy is in ruins now with the prices coming back up.

its funny to me because sup vigors are not even worth it. its only a 9 hp difference between major and sup. that is not going to be enough to save you from anything. go buy a major and stop thinking that because its a few more hp its better because it really isn't
sup absorption are worth every penny but you really won't notice too much of a difference between the major and sup. i've found 2 so far so i haven't had a problem with the prices but i do empithize with other players that do have to buy them.
one day people will learn that the +5 armor mod is much better than a 30 hp upgrade too so i'd start stocking up.

I'm pretty sure they changed the trader code, which changed the way the prices behave. Apart from monk superiors, I very much doubt that any change in player behaviour has caused the recent price increases.
However, the situation that occured when the rune traders were first introduced was clearly broken - the majority of runes were always at the minimum price. There's no point having a trader with a floating price if they're always going to lying at the bottom extreme. Sure, it was great to be able to roll a new char and fully outfit it with minor runes for 5x 120g, but considering the drop rate of runes, I dont really think it was intended to be like that. (otherwise, why not just add them to merchants?)

i am very happy with the new vendor prices and made 160 plat in 2 mins by selling two superiors. now gotta find something to spend the money on.

That is simply untrue, superior vigors stayed at 100k at the trader for at least a week when the trader was intruduced and that shows your entire argument about the trader being broken on release is false.
Reason rune prices droped to 120 gp mark was that the trader was flooded with runes, superior runes (except vigor and absortion) were never very popular with the players (due to the HP loss) and getting a ninor rune was easy since they even up the rune drop rate.

On release, the normal amount of buying and selling done by players was not enough to budge the price from minimum, except for the super popular runes.
Since they seem to have changed it so that prices are more inclined to move upwards now, the original situation was clearly unintended.
Tuon
It's cuz the 105 monk leaked out
Rieselle
You'll notice that minor runes have gone up in price as well. A minor of Ele Fire magic used to hover at around the 500g mark, now its suddenly 3 plat. I doubt that there's been a sudden increase in the popularity of minor fire runes this week.
the 105 health build just makes Monk Superior (and now Major) prices very noticeable, but biggest clue are how the prices of the modestly in-demand runes have changed.

Also what you just said is not supply and demand.
Supply and demand also depend on it each other, if a trader is shifting inventory at the same rate he is gaining the price sould not change, if the trader is selling less inventory that he is gaining the price sould go down.
Take black dye, its very expensive but few are buying and selling to the trader so its price sould be stable since suppy/demand is the same but price is raising?
Either the exceptional rich players are using a EXPLOIT to gain unfair advantage over the other players with price manipulation (that in real live gets you send to jail) or the trader is simply not using a inventory relation and connecting buy/sell, its acting as buying and selling are seperate inventories.

Thats why buying price was at the lowest (since he did not wanted) and his selling price was at the lowest (since he wanted to get rid of then to free inventory space)
That is supply and demand, there is always a inventory relation.

hmm the gw rune trading economy seems to be like the stock market i remember when i made a pvp guy and i was going to buy some runes and saw sup mes(and earth/water ele) runes for about 200g if i had more money (like i have about 10k now) i would have used it all on them because i thought there was no way a superior would stay that low i even said to my guild "this is a travesty!" when i saw it so the second those runes go down im investing everything into runes, sure it may be a bit o a gamble but hey, its just a game(though i may get mad for losing a few hours o my day for farming/selling) 
so i hope that in time the prices will go back down *shakefist* they better
PS: i hope this doesnt make me sound like one of those rich hoarders

I can't say i'm completely happy about it because i don't have the funding to buy some of those runes. But then again, i might just be on a mission and get a nice rune drop and actually be able to sell it for more than 25 gold. Puts quite a smile on some peoples faces.

But why the trader buy runes at extreme low prices?
He is selling a rune for 5K and buy it for 200g?
It is simly not FAIR!
