Yesterday I was crafting T1 Lockdown gear, and I got a Curse Maximum UV on an Emberbreak Helm. Since there is no Curse in T1 Lockdown, and Emberbreak Helms don't really have a good upgrade path, I put it on the Auction House for a starting bid of 500 CR. To me, it seemed pretty worthless.

When I checked my mail today, I found out that the final selling price was 25,000 CR. I thought that was pretty funny. Can anybody think of a reason somebody would want a Max Curse Emberbreak Helm? To me, it just doesn't make any sense.

I've seen other silly auctions from time to time too (sellers overestimating their items' values).

Sometimes strange auctions are created by bad timings... I made a screenshot of AH just now, on the sale of Sun Silver.

That poor guy at the bottom of the list.

I am one of those people trampling on him... I sold 2 Sun Silvers for almost 2.6k each last night.

The person could have just seen it as a cute novelty, like people who collect Sleep UVs. Or maybe they'll think the Emberbreak path will be 5* someday

Re: Sun Silvers

Trampling, yes, but also selling yourself quite short. Sun Silvers easily go for over 4k. Buyers are more than willing to pay a lot for rare mats, it is the sellers that compete with each other to continuously lower the price.

T2 Graveyards. Or that rare glitch where high tier players enter into T1 lockdown.

I wouldn't buy it, just pointing it out.
