Yesterday, I think all traders were bugged up...
Silver dye cost 5k, Black dye cost 2k...
Deldrimor steel ingots cost 300 each (normally they cost 800+ each)
Steel ingots cost 800 each... And so on... Prices were verry weird and I've never seen them before like this...

heh...I got laughed/yelled at by several black dye sellers this weekend because of that. In the one second that I checked the dye trader black dye was available for 6.7k. So I then go running through the districts offering 5k for black dye, and I most have gotten called an n00b 50 times.... If I had only known...I would have just bought it from the trader.

Dyes become super expensive when someone buys large quantities of them and drop in price (to a set minimum I think) when nobody is buying them. Theoretically, if everyone suddenly wanted orange armor, orange would become more expensive than silver and black.

I saw that too - I've never seen steel so cheap. I bought 200 ingots at 80g each.

About 3-4 days ago they were selling to the trader at 550 each.

Is this a potential 94k profit or are they flooding the market with raw material?
