Damn I sold mine for 600 mill when they were still dropping If only I would have known oh well I'm still rich
Heh, just yesterday I picked one for 500 mil. Good to know they can sell for a bil now! I wonder if I should wait for the patch that nerfs PVP IO farming or sell it now.
If you look at the level 23 version of this proc on villian side...
Only 1 was ever sold for 250 million.
That was me buying it. It lives happily in my huntsman to this day.
When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...
BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!
I got 5 more, anyone need one?
All for sale for the low low cost of 1 billion. Just let me know

The best part of that is what else is for sale and whats sitting in the tray.

Since when does pic quality matter, I lowered it as low as I could get it so slower connections could view it. Not all of us can load a 1 mb file in a matter of seconds

Idle curiosity, did you put it up at 1BN ? or did somebody just not bother bidding up ?

Grats on the windfall.
You have no Panaceas, or I would buy one. 
Outstanding... I guess I should have taken up my sg leaders invitation to farm PVP IO's when they first came out..
oh well

What Panacea do you need and which side? I have a few of each type both rec / enh; however, they ain't cheap, and redside comes with an additional 20 percent mark up.
Better to buy it from me now, before the Bloody Bay Butcher PvP Cartel drives up the prices even more when this new fix floors the drop rate of the IO's, and the player base figures out you only can get one drop in an arena farm if you are lucky during the three chance rep cycle.

While I find these threads hilarious, I do think it would be pretty cool if the devs could do something productive about pvp drops.

I don't quite understand why these IOs are in high enough demand that people will spend so much on them. I mean, I'm not opposed to spending that much on shinies, I just keep looking at the specific IOs in these sets and going, "Meh, I'd rather slot purples". (Other than the +res and +def globals, that is - those I get.)

They did, they changed the drop rates to rep based kills only, meaning that you can no longer get drops in arena and only in pvp zones and because pvp sucks so horribly in this game I do not foresee prices going down anytime soon.

looks like I'll fill the empty slot w/ a LotG +rech instead

Well, they do some things that purples don't.
For example, they share the "no exemplar penalty" that purples have, but they aren't all unique - you can slot multiple sets of them.
In PvP in particular, they give set bonuses you can't find anywhere else. For example, +range.
And finally, in PvP they give these bonuses on top of the PvE bonuses.
Ultimately, though, this may be a sort of "Bentley Syndrome". The people buying these at these prices may already have all the Purples they can use, and they're looking for the next level of shiny to buy. There was a thread a while back in this forum by a guy posting how he'd slotted like 8 sets of purples, mostly just because he could. It probably can't explain all the purchases, but I'd bet that sort of thing explains the most extreme sale prices we've seen.

They can be gotten in the Arena. But on the rep timer rules. So best case you could only get like 4-5 of them in a 30-minute match, assuming you won the lottery while being struck by lightning by getting a drop every time you were eligible based on the timer.
