List it for sale here and let the bidwar commence. It's impossible to predict exactly how high it will go. But I think it's safe to assume you can expect atleast 1k arms.
Do NOT sell it in Kamadan or to private offers, publicly list it for sale here.

If you have any interest in the Dusk Blade, I suggest you let me let me know fast. Because it's going to be sold soon!

I'll turn the question around: what do you want us to do? It's a slippery slope and it is extremely hard for us to prove something - do I personally think people should be allowed to bot and sell their items here? No, I absolutely do not think they should be.
In fact, people who bot should be banned in the game and in that way we are in quite a unique position - Guild Wars is still popular and active, nowhere near what it used to be, but it is still online. But banning has always been slow in Guild Wars and it feels like it has crawled to a stop nowadays.
Usually, these issues should be handled by the one running the game, not a fan run forum. We lack tools to police things and while we can take action on Legacy, we can't stop things from happening - if we block something, it might just turn up again with a different name/seller.
So what can we do with this, of for this? To be honest, that has been a question that I have been wondering myself for many weeks. We are discussing this internally, we have been following this thread quite well, but most people by now know that I usually keep away from moderation. In my opinion, it is more healthy for a platform when the owner of the platform isn't involved with moderation itself (so that you can remain fully neutral should you need to intervene).
For the moment, our stance has been that we aren't the police of Guild Wars. That role should be filled by ArenaNet - but it is clear that they haven't been fullfilling this role as it should be. So perhaps that policy needs tweaking, but I don't know how far we need to go (and can go) with this.
Do we put a notice on things that we received messages that the user is suspected to be botting? Do we block the account from posting in certain area's on Legacy? Because that will probably lead to them just going for a new account to get around that.
If we ban those users, they will certainly just create a new one so that is not a solution on its own. It won't solve anything, except raise the Legacy user count further.
So this is more complicated than I would prefer it to be. We're talking internally and that it the most I can currently say about it. What I can say is that a rule rework is in progress (has been for a while), but that seems to be progressing nicely now.
So, my question for you guys is: how would you handle this were you in our place? Knowing that bans aren't as effective as you would wish them to be, having to at least have some proof from botting and in what way we could limit/display that.
It's a though nut to crack.

Bots have practically always been a part of Guild Wars and always will be until ArenaNet pulls the plug, that's the reality. There is nothing any of us can change about that. However allowing these people to blatantly offload multiple accounts full of unfairly acquired items on the last and only remaining active fan platform is not something that should be tolerated, in my opinion - and I believe the majority of the Legacy users agree with this.
No you can't exactly get rid of every thread consisting of botted items, but what you can do is simply remove a thread based on reasonable suspicion. Afterall if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck - it probably is a duck.
You, the mods, are not the police upholding the law. You're moderating a fan forum of a video game, don't make it bigger than it has to be. If you agree with (I believe) the majority here that something needs to change then I suggest you guys take action however you collectively deem necessary. No need to be all politically correct about it, imo.
Just my two cents. -
