I have a Defender (9 strength), +45 health, -2 dmg (both when enchanted). Price estimates?

Wow very nice I would say about 200-250k, havnt really seen a perfect shield like this one but that would be my estimate.

^^ I'm with him. Considering Malinon's Shield goes for 100k and this one is req strength it's at least 200-250k. Pity it isn't a more desirable skin though.

I would guess around 300K, since it's perfect and requirement is excellent.

Thanks - I appreciate the fast work on the estimates. Prices in this game are a mystery to me - especially since what's desirable and what's not seems a little faddish. (Although I have to agree that the Defender isn't my favorite skin either). Seems like I'm seeing more strength-based shields that have nice stats these days ... wonder if it's a misperception or whether aNet decided to add more to the game through drops and chests.

Several of you inquired - in game - about buying this shield and I said that I wasn't interested in selling. Yesterday I acquired a similar shield (higher req, slightly less hp). I wish I had kept some of the names of those who messaged me in game but did not. If you see this and are still interested I might now be willing to either sell the new lesser shield (I'm at work but believe it is -2 dmg and +39 health enchanted, req. 10) or - since the lesser shield would work about as well in reality - I might sell the perfect shield for the right offer.

P.S. Since I am seeing more shields like this -- strength shields with both health and -2 dmg and since they once were enormously rare -- I think I'm right that they're becoming more common in the game.
