If you want to get caught up in the semantics and weeds (pun intended ;), there is a thread somewhere on Legacy that was a... we will say a friendly debate for sake of argument.... about whether or not a q8 item with a value above the 280g threshold (prenerf) is worth more than a q8 item with the exact same mods but value below 280g (likely postnerf). For example....
Q8 Max Dusk Blade +5e with 420g
Q8 Max Dusk Blade +5e with 240g
First of all, the 2nd one will probably never exist even though it could, but would someone really say when considering to purchase the 420g one "I think I will wait to pay less for the next 240g one to be available".
Oh and since neither are an even 200g, 300g, or 400g, they are both just merch food right? hehe jk!
