Not worth it I have 12 Red Dye and it was selling for almost 3k this afternoon and when I went to sell mine trader only offered 1g 
so I waited and tried again and she would only give me 200g. The price can go up all it wants now one buys and trader will not give you enough to make a good profit off of it when it goes up.

Noo, there's nothing wrong with the traders 
Krank
Clearly not orange dye is the same!

I find that really really funny. I'm happy with the abundance of silver and yellow the griffins dropped me when I farmed them.
Krank
Willing to sell them ? (not for 3003 plat O_O)
Red Locust
What really ticks me off is that the traders give me 1g for my silver dye, yet he sells it for 3000g. If you're gonna use trader NPCs, at least introduce some form of supply and demand. It's the same thing with obsidian...200 buy, 3000 sell.
These traders are making 1000%+ profits. Great for keeping inflation down, but terrible for anyone who's not rich.

I've found several silver dyes on my travels of late. I was pretty pleased, because I often struggle to find any cash. Well, I'm not pleased anymore. The frickin' trader offers me 1g for each of them. There's no way in hell I'm selling them for that considering how much they cost to buy, but I don't have the time to sit there spamming for three weeks trying to sell them all. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. I have a large amount of money tied up in stuff I won't be using, but I have no way of freeing it up...

I'm begining to think that Guilds are joint spiking prices and then selling back the stuff they bought low from the dye trader...
BTW: 38k now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The dye thing seems to have been an ongoing distraction for players. At the end of the day, it's just a novelty to make your armour look cool.
How many of you, hand on heart, bought GW to play the market? I concede that maybe trading can provide added interest, but given a choice between questing, exploration & fighting battles to standing by the storage agents in LA for hours on end shouting "WTS...." amongst another 10 traders, all selling the same item, all in the hope that one of the very few silver/black dye buyers actually out there might just happen to pick you....
...I'll go with the crux of the game, and leave the trade spamming for the terminally bored.
Just to add further to the above....
The only people who have the sort of money to buy dye are long-term players, and they'd sooner invest their hard-earned 50k-60k in a rune of Superior Vigor instead of a bottle or two of the black stuff.
The most common places where dye is dropped are all in pre-searing Ascalon, so most newcomers to post-searing will probably already have dye themselves, and certainly won't have the money to buy off others. Chances are they will enter post-searing, and see the dyes that they have be touted for stupid amounts by the dye hoarders, and will balk at the trader's prices. Their only choice is to sell the dye and undercut whatever the lowest offer is in the vain hope that someone will buy off them.
Result: There is no market for the Uber-expensive dyes, and very little for the cheaper dyes.
Solution: Dye traders - drop your prices to something more sensible (like the price of dye from a week ago), leave the trading to the muppets who sink every gold piece that they earn into buying dyes, and be thankful that now you have a bit of money, and you've got out of the dye trading game..

Woohoo, black dye is up to 40k! I wish I would have bought it low...I could have made a fortune. Oh well, there is always next time.
Kha
I feel old. I remember when it was 500g or less.
TheTim
I'm so glad I've never sold any of my dye. Its all in my storage 10+ of each normal kind. 7 silvers. 4 blacks. yum!
Yeah the dye trader buys for wicked cheap then sells for real high. Remind me of the times I try to trade in a used game to EBGames. They give you $5 and sell the thing for 3x that. Jerks. Not worth it.

I wonder why orange dye never goes up in price? Even if absolutely nobody liked orange, they would still buy it when the second cheapest dye cost 1plat*...

Bah, saving my silver for my Droks armor for my ele. A silver/yellow blend looks badass on the ele armor, imo. Rich looking.

Thank goodness I already got my black a few weeks ago.... it was around 6-7k per. This morning I took a screen of it at 39k. I have 10k in my vault. It seems really messed up to me that 1 black dye is costing about the same as two pieces of 15k armor. Imagine if I wanted to buy some now... *shudders*
Drakron
Silver was 6k and trader was giving 1gp for it.
Yes, a 6000% profit margin.

Heh. Back when black went up to 4k, I thought... "hm, maybe I'll wait until the price comes down...."
Lykan
OMG What the hell has been happening, I've been away for five days and I come back to see the prices have gone through the roof! 7K for Silver Dye! Not just dyes but runes too, i had a Superior Divine Favor i was trying to sell last week for 8K and now they sell for 43K. When did this happen?

Monk runes skyrocketed with the popularity of the Protective Bond builds that require dropping your life total as much as possible.
No idea what's up with the dye, though.

It seems quite a few people have been selling their black dyes to the trader when they had chance to. Because last night, it was up to 40k, and the trader bought it back at around 6k. Now he buys it for 3.5k and sells at 26k. =P
