Added by Dralspire: Moderators, this post has been edited to conform to the MarketWatch standard. Please make sure that your changes and additions take that standard into consideration. Thank you.

Update (January 24, 2008) - Red
Alright guys, we have brand new figures. Special thanks to Metalmaster for his efforts to create new a baseline.

I've also included descriptions with the inscriptions. I don't know about you, but I can't remember what the difference is between "Sheltered by Faith" and "Faith Is My Shield". ^_^ Do you think it clutters the thread too much? Or is it helpful when you're looking over things?

Please PM me with all questions:Red

Please reply with your data ONLY if it contradicts the below prices. If you want to gripe about something go somewhere else.

Sold Staff head +30 for 5k after several days... most people scoffed at me for even that price. However +30 staff wrapping went for 8k in about three minutes.

Tried selling vampric dagger tang for 5k, then 3k, now 2k.... still can't find a buyer in KC, LA or Droks.

Bought Hammer 20/20 for 5k, then after trying re-sell for 15k couldn't find a buyer so I had to talk a guy up to 10k.

Sold Dagger 20/20 for 25k very easy, originally was asking 30k, which had no takers.

Sold dagger +30 for 20k very easy, originally was asking 25k which had no takers.

I've seen +5 energy staff mods going for 3k fairly often, sold some quickly for that price, but at 5k I got no repsonses.

I spent quite a while trying to sell a few mods (less desirable ones). In then end I offered them all up for 100g each or I was going to merch them and that's the only time I got messages. I was advertising usually half of the prices here. Very hard to find buyers unless you've got Sundering/Fort/etc. In the end I was just happy to get rid of them and have more inventory room to be frank. :/

i do predict that there will be a lot more unidentified items being sold, and prices will more than likely drop a little bit

as of now mods are still just as valuable as they were before. You can expect a lot of ppl to be making their own weapons now instead of buying greens and such. Until the supply increases significantly for the high-end items, the prices won't go down. When they do drop it should be a slow, steady process. Expect the high end mods to hold value for awhile.

sold:
zealous dagger and fort dagger 7.5k each fast sell
sword +29 hp 5k
axe +29 hp 5k
20/19 sundering bow string 3k <--value is ~2-3k below listed
insightful staff head +5 1k, 2k

bought:
axe mastery +1 20% 2k

prices have started the move down. all the perfect and costly items use to demand the high side. With once in awhile people asking for lower on this guide. Last night I had to price everything below this guide.

There was plenty of other mods some over priced, but for the most part a lot of people are going below the guide.

Since update I have salvaged off every item without ever destroying an item. I expect a lot of these prices will come down.

I agree, mod prices should be down considerably after a month or so.

Sold crippling string for 2.5k. Sounded pretty high, but that's what the guy offered for it.
Sold a bow grip +5 and a 5/-1 string for 6k total.

Pricing on the hammer grip +30 looks high, I've had one for months and never been able to sell it (been asking 5k recently).
