You got lucky. A new patch cometh. Prices should start to fall... read the patch notes on test.
Ahhhh shoot. I was trying a little bit of bid creeping between 700 Mil and 1 Bil, but stopped there because that was as much as I wanted to spend on one. *sighs* I decided to use my funds to just keep earning more influence. I really don't *need* the extra 3%, but it would be nice.
Good timing!
Availability will be increasing when the new patch goes live.
Kudos on the big score!

Someone actually paid 1.2 billion for a single recipe.
Heh.. i know extra +def is nice to have and all.. but being worth more than billion inf?
*eyerollage*
Still, congrats on the sale as that's a mighty big pile of currency. 
I guess if you have you may as well spend it... Wish I had it... I'd throw a Costume Contest and give everyone that joined 1 million influence........ NAWWWWWWW!!! I'd buy a set of 5 purple IOs!!!!! NAWWWWWW well maybe....

I know I didn't think it was. I'll put in a bid and hope that somebody will list low enough that I'll be able to grap one up. I'm still willing to pay good ifn...just not 1 Bil worth of good.
Will it make them THAT much more available? I'm not expecting supply to go up much.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
I really don't think so, but I can hope that I just might get lucky. Just like hoping I might win the lottery.

You'd be surprise what the difference is between softcapping and "nearly" softcapping a typed defensive build. I bought one for just under a billion and thought that was a bargain after seeing how well my scrapper performed. When the patch comes and this IO drops down to $400m, you can be sure I will have my bids in for multiples.

In this case I'll be happy to remain blissfully ignorant of the difference in performance until the price comes down or I happen to have my bid fill. Right now, I'm only about 3 or 4% off of being softcapped on all my typed defense, and a double stacked Divine Avalanche keeps my melee capped so I'm good. I've downed a dozen or so AVs at this point and I've found that defense isn't something I want so much as it is more damage.

Now there's an idea for a new global IO...

You know, for as rare as PvP IOs are, I would think the Glad Armor proc would have a higher +Def bonus than just 3% measly percent. Shoot, i can get that kind of bonus in a Steadfast Protection proc and it isn't even a purple.
But you're right, the idea for a decent +Damage set or proc would be nice. Though, the -Res is kind of a step in that direction.
I was feeling kind of Ebil when someone mentioned they put up a Gladiators Armor +3 Defense at WW for 700 million, So I Bought it. Relisted for 1.2 billion and 2 days later it SOLD! So after fees I cleared 380 million on that single transaction.
I was a bit nervous hoping some new patch would not make pvp recipes rain from the sky, but I have been crapping / flipping some purple recipes so I just figured this was no different, just bigger
This may be the biggest single sale to date? Probably the biggest profit from any flip too. I almost feel a little dirty after that, lol.
