I dunno OST, I sold it for 35a with those stats. Actually as Ikki mentioned it might have even been 10 HSR / +5e^enchant. Can’t remember 100% tbh.

Closesr to 30-50a imo. I sold a air one with same stats for 30a 5 months ago. Of course might be less cause Death, but 10a def low.
-
Agree. At least a stack of ecto. This is a very nice find.
-
Can’t say I’m not completely floored to have my modest collection even be mentioned in a post by my good friend Kabong.
This game is a labor of love and it shows in your goods. Thanks for the shoutout. Means a lot because you and Kromp were some of the folks who most inspired me when I got into collecting. And I of course have not and will never forget your additions to both my caster and hammer collection.
I haven’t had much time to screenshot and post but this is getting me hyped to do so soon.
And fantastic posts everyone. Keep it up

Yes, lower price is definitely more likely. But higher is possible.
Ask around for Mesmer collectors and trying to generate interest. Better than putting on auction.
-
I think 300-400e is possible. 20a is way too high even with a bid war.
-
50e to start on high energy offhand. Lmk b/o
-
Maybe 25-30e
-
50e is closer to accurate here
-
-
-
I would have said 10a if arms were still worth 120e. Do you think think this items only worth 500e?
-
Well the 12% stance makes it pre-nerf, it’s one of the best/wanted skins in the game.
Not the most sought after mod unless you find someone stacking the 12-15% but depending on interest I would wager, since arms are 50e right now, that this is at least 20a.
My gut says it could be a lot more though. Wait for other opinions or just put it up for auction.
-
Merch all other than echo. Might find a buyer for 1-5e
-
Gahata is right. Two days ago a Q10 Tribal shield was WTS for 4k gold. Definitely not worth anything. Sick looking skin though.
-
He’s right about the Mursaat and BDS. I think 2a is a bit high for the blue chakram. Usually gold insc Q8 offhands go for 1-2a.
Not sure about the tribal but my gut says that nothing Q10 insc that isn’t an “ultra rare” skin is even in the ballpark of 4-5a. I would wait for more opinions I guess.
-
-
Dragon breath 20-25e
Spiral Rod 50e
Earth staff depends on skin. If obsidian a ton; of crystallized maybe 1A.
-
I have had a number of Q8 11-21 inscr wands. Sold them all around 1-2a each. I think 1A is definitely Doable.
-
-
Nah this worth more. Could be 75a +
-
Agree with Ikki about naked crysta but you will have to hustle to find a buyer imo.
-
Frankly I’ve said it once and will say it again—the best part about this game is the community. Unfortunately it is also the worst part.
Cheating, botting, gold farming, rl cash transactions have all done a lot of hurt this game.
But they haven’t killed it—and they won’t until A Net shuts down the servers.
Fundamentally people play this game because they love it, because Arena Net made so many beautiful mistakes in itemization, because it symbolizes the best in what gaming could be, was and is.
I think Necro’s thread here, and his earlier post, is testament to this. Where else can you find a decade+ old game so hotly debated, actively discussed, lived and remembered by its community so brightly? I would defy you to find another example. This game is an example of love and dedication that makes me smile. Hell, it’s even brought me to tears before.
I know this is sappy, but keep chasing your item dreams, grinding your GWAMMs, whatever it is that makes you happy. This game’s community (which I think emerges from its wonky and awesome itemization) is something special that I doubt will ever be replicated in a game going forward.
Fuck I love this game.
❤️❤️❤️

I tend to agree with Ikki, even if he's slightly on the high end. I've sold 10/+5e's for 8-10a before. Granted for different reqs, but I don't think he's off base. With time and interest I do not see why 15a wouldn't be possible.
-
The idea that Kromp (or Kabong) would have to use real life money to buy items is beyond hilarious to me
I guess some people love to talk out their ass or just don’t actually understand what being a collector is.
As an FYI, just cause new rich shady motherfucks sell or buy stuff with irl cash doesn’t mean others do.
-
This is a bold claim. Any evidence? Screens? Do we know if gold value matches?
Funny that this q13 +5e is most likely from Teal Dawn that he sold for rl money,
It's also funny that his collection screen including this sword got removed from the beloved collection topic.
Good job at breaking EULA by purchasing in game stuff
-
...just like many other...
I gotcha, Yuko😉
I didn’t miss it! I just think Crystas are a different story. They’re stillan order of magnitude more sought after than the others.
-
The importance of these relics should not be forgotten or undervalued despite the presence of innumerable poor imitations.
Frankly, can’t that be said about Dwarvens (which have a shitty inscr version) or Serpent axes (which have a shitty Canthan version)?
A lot of the ultra rares have been mass produced in that way. Something distinguished Crystas to make them the benchmark / “go-to” for the moneyed, both old and new. The difference is, and the fact remains, that Crystas were the most popular and attainable of the ultra rares (both back then and now) and the most obvious outward indicator of wealth and skill (given their attachment to the PvP success.)
You can’t forget those factors I think.
-
Yeah,because you have to be from america to get the analogy.its funny how you have to mention america
It’s funny how you have to be confrontational over an internet joke?
Anyway—my point was that he mentioned that where he is from you can get a luxury car without having to pay for it. I think most peopl would definitely love a free BMW or Audi. It was a cheekish bit of fun. And, as Cosy mentioned it’s definitely not commonplace in USA.
-
I disagree about the BMW statement, most luxury cars including bmw, mercedes, audi, tesla, porsche and so on, are just company cars (at least where I live), therefore we don't pay anything to drive them.
Someone is definitely not from America.
-
I think comparing BMW and crysta works because, like BMW, also crysta, majority of ppl hate them and couldnt care less what kind of BMW or special edition someone has they just think its ugly car, only among the BMW collectors ppl care about those rare ones or which one they are while others couldnt care less ;D
As a BMW owner I take offense to this, but as someone who thinks Crystas are overpriced dumb looking plastic toy swords . . .
-
Agreed. My point was mainly to show that at the lower end crystas are still an enormous status symbol despite having a low time and entry cost compared to rarer niche items.
One crysta does not a collector make. The same can’t be said about a Swamp club though.
And of course all those goes out the window for things like Q8s (including purples), certain perfect mods, and +5es.
-
The BMW analogy is most apt. Crystalline swords are the quintessential example of rarity not pushing price.
Just look at Wands/Offhands for example. A rare skin 20/20 fully matching wand may not even exist, but even if it did it would likely not fetch the price of even a decent Q9 Crysta, which is many times over less rare. And don’t even bring up Q8, Q7 and other prenerf caster stuff, which just gets exponentially more rare. The same can be said about non-dropping limited quantity items like Swamp Clubs or Q7.
The reality in GW is that the “rarest” items will never generate enough demand to be the most expensive or sought after, simply because it takes way less time or effort to get it. Crystas are easy to get if you have money because there are lots out there and they are more or less fungible for the purposes of financing other trades.
Kromp’s analogy is very apt.
-
Maybe 5-10e.
-
It’s like 100e Max.
-
Not gonna lie. This brought a tear to my eye. A manly, hammer shaped tear, but a tear nonetheless.
-
Easily most under appreciated item in my collection. Not by me, but still
Old image—it’s custod ofc.

I sold a Q8 11-21 Blzing Wing Wand and Water Spirit Rod for 1A each not too long ago.
They’re actually pretty cool.
You can easily get 50e imo.
-
Curious what is with the gold value comments. Is it because it’s an axe? I have max Q7s which are all 130ish gold. I don’t know much about prenerf martial weapons.
Anyhow as most have said that axe is fake until proven real. If real I would love to see though
-
Great stuff. I think the Cele is easily 20-25a even with an awful attri like Communing.
Perfect Q8 rare skin wands are just that rare. I have around 15 Q8 wands, of those 6 were/are rare skinned. Three of them were zodiacs and I sold one for 35a (same stats as your Communing one). Even an imperfect (19 HSR / 9 HCT) is at least 10a, and likely more.
