The req is pretty good. I'm not gonna p/c this you can pretty much find 100 examples of what these have sold for by searching the sell forum. It's not like there isn't thousands of 15>50 fellblades selling over there...

It's worth a good bit though...like over 200k

I'll give you 250K for it, if interested. But it is true that there have been a lot of them selling lately and they are far more common than they ought to be. When the green items crashed the economy, everyone came out of the woodwork and started dumping their weapon hordes on the market before it was too late, in order to minimize their losses. That made a bad thing worse. There was a time when that sword would have garnered multiples of what it will now.

THIS IS A PRICE CHECK FORUM and Green items have NO effect on a FELLBLADE.

True, but the best way to know what something is really worth is to know what people would actually pay for it, not what they think someone somewhere may pay for it. I would pay exactly 250K for that sword, no more. It is a valuable data point on developing an accurate image of what its true value is.

That is just plain wrong. Look through the threads and compare the top offers on everything. Look specifically at how many people have been trying to sell fellblades. Greens had a remarkable effect on the economy, the ripples are still being felt, and they did change the value of EVERYTHING else, even things for which there is not an exact green substitute. The value of money is totally different now.

i absolutly 100% agree, and absolutly 100% disagree at the same time.
it depends on WHAT you are talking about.
green items ABSOLUTLY RUINED medium-quality golds; golds with sub perfect mods, sub perfect requirements, and more than anything else, sub-perfect shields. this is where i agree with you 100%.
HOWEVER, where i totally and completly disagree with you is the notion that green items also tanked the price of top-notch weapons; greens have one specific use; providing middle-class players with perfectly modded weapons at low reqs. and this is why the middle-quality gold market went down the crapper; why would someone pay 200k for an item thats worse than one they can get for 75k? and rich people who collect golds not for use, but for the purpose of having a collection, do not buy sub-standard golds (i'm a prime example here) without motivation.
the problem with the idea that green ruined top-notch golds is that top-notch golds are usually not obtained for use, but obtained as part of a colleciton or as a status symbol; and that is why thier prices were only marginally effected; and you are right about one thing, thier prices werent effected by greens, but rather by people dumping them on the market.
that having been said, there are still people who would pay 700k+ for that fellblade clean, and 900k for it modded (down form about 1.2 million). and once all the fellblades that were dumped are bought up, thier prices will restabilize.
in fact, i can put you in contact with one such person;
cubed adg (in game name) was looking to buy a fellblade 9-10 req, and was willing to offer about 800k for it.

Sounds to me like you agree 100% and don't disagree at all. Top notch golds held their value better than mid-range golds, but they still lost enornomous value. Perfectly modded fellblades are worth less than half what they were worth a week ago, and every indication is that they will be worth less than half of that again in another week. It absolutely is the dumping, which is an indirect result from greens, but it effects the perfect and the imperfect alike. If I can buy every perfect mod for my weapons for 20K each instead of 100K each, and I can buy a 15>50 sword from a crafter, and know where a green 15>50 sephis axe will drop reliably, and know that hundreds of people are desperate to sell their items 15>50 req 10s suddenly got extremely affordable, and req 9s have to compete with the req 10s, and req 8s hold some value, but are still selling for 50K here, 25K there, etc. Sure fellblades will slide more gradually than other weapons. Sure longswords will fight to hold out and stay above 100K. Sure that halfmoon shouldn't have been sold as cheaply as it was. Sure if you have a flawless gold shield with enchanted mods and a req of 10 or less and a popular style to boot (about the only shields in my collection I consider of any value at all), you shouldn't sell it because of Malinon's, but the fact is the only things I currently see holding their value or appreciating in value are extremely rare items (dwarven axe, sickle, crystallines type) and a few odd runes: superior absorption and superior vigor. I think those are climbing slightly as people are desperate for a place to invest. You see them go up, you see rubies and sapphires start to climb again. Ecto has been remarkably constant, hovering throughout the turmoil at 8K the entire time. I don't know what tomorrow holds, but if cubed is willing to pay hundreds and hundreds of plat for that fellblade, he probably won't be for very long at all, and if he keeps his eyes open and an ear to the ground, he will be able to easily pay a fraction of that.

Yeah, honestly, I've gotten 3 fellblades out of chests already, I feel that everything but the "very" elite golds have seen a very sad crash in prices.
