As someone who gets regular requests for trademodding, pricing, availability, and market tempo on gold trims - I feel like I have some insight that may be helpful.
1) Your post is contradictory to itself. You say you wish to make a gold trim purchase to preserve Guild Wars history yet just below it you state you do not care about the previous history, age, tag. What "history" are you exactly trying to preserve?
2) Perception is everything. While you may feel that "history, age, tag" are an excuse to "bump up the price to ridiculous amounts", these factors are reality. A guild such as [EvIL] is the first guild to win gold and play dominantly for the game's significant early life (First two World Championships) with extensive air time and fanbase. Surely you are not foolish enough to consider [EvIL] on the same level/value as a random gold most cannot recall from 2018 or a gold botted in the last 36 months.
3) Perception goes beyond the generally famous OG guilds. Each person is different and their experiences in this game equally different. I started playing when [EvIL] was at its height and started GvG when [iQ] dethroned [EvIL] at the GWFC. However someone else might have not started playing or paying attention to GvG until [rawr] started a dominant run. That person might value [rawr] over [EvIL] as a result of actually watching live play of [rawr]. Someone else might have liked a particular guild's playstyle and become a huge fan as well as developed friendship with that guild's players (regional champs respective to US/EU/Asia). Sentiment and nostalgia can be a strong factor in this case. Because of these few examples out of many, your personal believes of "bumps up" do not invalidate other players' feelings and experiences nor does it decrease the value of the guild in their eyes.
4) Gold trims are and have been a seller's market for some time now. Whether you like it or not, buyers are at the mercy of sellers. Consider getting in contact with a gold trim seller to be a lucky event. Even luckier if that gold trim seller is not just trying to scam you. Compound this situation by the fact that golds won in the past 18 months or so have not been sold, you have a gold trim market that is only continuing to shrink in availability.
If you are looking for sympathy or hoping the entire forum will come to agree with you in hopes that it will talk gold trim sellers down with their prices, I fear you are sadly mistaken.
Supply and demand. History, age, and tag can and will differentiate the price whether you like it or not.
And as always, if you need a trade mod, shoot me a PM. I hear Bobu is good too though I have not met him personally. He charges for his service and I do mine for free/tips.

I’d happily pay more for a Dorian. These were prices before everything tripled. Also I reckon you offered 250a for one so why 200 range ?
250a seems to fall in the 200a-300a range.
they are botted^
100%

200a-300a
Anyone offering more is looking to offload botted arms.
