EDIT: The starting bid is that high because I saw a current offer of 115k for the same thing that had req. 9.
FYK there is a serious and enormous difference between req 9 and 11 on any item but shield especially.
just curious... why do people buy shields un-id'ed? it's not like there's anything you can "unlock" like with weapon upgrades or monster armors. as exar mentioned, is it just for the sheer fun of id'ing something and being surprised what you might get?
