Then how do you explain this? https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/co…utm_name=iossmf
Quote:
R8 max damage bows haven’t dropped since 2006. It’s pre-nerf and that alone makes it valuable. The 1-off max mod does affect the price but you’re still looking in the 5-10 armbraces range for it. Possibly more if you can get enough interest and end up with a bid-war.
As others have said, you’ll get a much better indication on Legacy as that’s where the collectors are.
Folks, if you don’t know what you’re looking at, please don’t price check items - it’s reckless and misleading.

Roxas Best Thief how i can explain this ? quite easy.
It's one Pricecheck/Opinion you got on Reddit basicly and here u asked for more Pricechecks/opinions/Saleexperiences
So now u have 1 from reddit saying 5-10a and here u have multiple(4x) that range more from 3-8a
What u allways need to know is
1. no one can predict the exact sale value
and
2. the item at the end is worth what u are able to sell it for.
so take the normal Market, wich people here allrdy tried to tell you even way better items then yours struggle to sell for prices that you would like to get for it. ( so 3-8 seems reasonable)
Now lets take a other (fictional) scenario:
-A dude comes back to the game.
-An account stacked and stacked on armbraces.
- his Last will in life is to gather an collection of ALL BOWS in q8 and 14^50
-You offer him your longbow
-He says he pays 10a
-you decline
-he sheds a tear 
-moment of silent
-he offers you 20a
-you decline again
-he looks his collection nearly finished only missing the ultra rare q8 14^50 basic skin longbow
-his lifesupport is running out
-he gathers all his will and offers you 100a
-you accept
-then ur bow apprerently was worth 100a and not 5-10. Congratz
