USEast Ladder Price Guide
New Ladder Preliminary Guide : August 9, 2005

USING THE NEW POINTS-BASED SYSTEM:
This is not the toughest change you will ever be asked to endure, and after a couple of months in the new ladder, the improvements will be undeniable. Rather than evaluating items in terms of appropriate runes to trade for them, all items are now evaluated in terms of ‘points’. Start by perusing the rune-to-points conversions: You’ll see that Um = 100 points, and all other runes go up or down from there IN THE SAME RATIOS that pgems did. A batch of 40 pgems is now listed at Pul, the prevailing price for the first ¾ of the last ladder season (before dupe-inflation took hold).

To advertise items FT, simply list the item as you always have, and ISO xxx points, with a minimum denomination of whatever you wish. That is, [L] FT: Plain Fire Skiller ; ISO Bids of at least 150 pts, paid in Pul or greater runes. The “paid in denominations of” part will logically apply to all items in your tradelist, just like it did with runes, so you’ll only need to put it in once.

CURRENT PRICES:
ALL items in this version of the Price Guide are based on historical prices for these items: while most of the entries are blank, some have been filled in with values carried forward from the beginning of the last ladder (the beginning of the PGuide, anyway). These few listings should use as a useful place to start your evaluation: if some of them look low today, they’ll probably be reasonably accurate in a week’s time, since more of everything is being found daily.

ALL updated prices will come from information posted in the PGuide thread on the TRADE VALUES BOARD. If you don’t post your pricing information there, it probably won’t make it into the PGuide. PLEASE record your trade info there, at least for a while – once the price guide gets fleshed out again, you can go back to ignoring the TValues thread. Until that time, all we get is this skeleton.

Suggesting Price Guide Changes:

If you leave me a post along the lines of "Hey Nolo, you should include Sureshrill Frost" I'll most likely ignore it;

If you leave me a post along the lines of "Hey Nolo, you should include Sureshrill Frost - I just paid 25 points for one" I'll consider it, and I'll put it in if I can verify that there is a prevailing price.

If you leave me a post along the lines of "Hey Nolo, you should include Sureshrill Frost - I just paid 25 points for one, and there are 2 or 3 others that have traded for about that much on the Forum over the past week or two" I'll look for the corroborating trades on the forum, and put the Shurshrill in the PG with no questions asked.

Trading Tips:
• If you're selling and a buyer wants a fast close, it's usually a bad deal for you since they're trying to get the item before someone else comes along and outbids them.
• Be suspicious of offers sent via PM instead of posted in your trade thread; they're most likely lowballs and no one can outbid an offer they can't see.
• If trading Annis, Gheeds, items between different realms or between ladder and non-ladder, don't be afraid to request a moderator to facilitate the trade.

Price Guide Notes:
• This is only a guide, and not a 'final say' on values. You may never find someone willing to trade for a listed price, and you may find someone offering x3-4 times a listed price. It's all a question of supply and demand. Two rules of thumb: 1) If an item has perfect stats, its value can be quite high (see below). 2) Rare items relevant to popular classes and builds (HoZ = Hammerdins, Death's Fathom = Sorceresses) usually are much easier to trade than seldomly used items or extremely common items (junk jewels, Sandstorm Treks, Shakos).
• Values with a range (ie 1-5 Ists) mean that the price will depend upon the variable stats of the item, or upon the haste of the seller.

• Most valuable items with perfect stats have are not included in this price guide, since some rich people could MANY TIMES more than the price listed here. It's always best to shop perfect items around a bit, since the price fluctuates greatly depending upon who sees it and how rich they are. For example, a perfect pair of upped Gore Riders recently traded for 14 High Runes. The prices on these sorts of items change every time they trade, and therefore they have no place in this guide.

• If you have suggestions, criticisms, or a price for an item not listed, please either post them in this thread or PM me. Links to relevant trade threads (if applicable) would also be appreciated.
• If you have an item not listed here and want an idea about its value, post a Price Check thread in the Trade Values forum. Please don't post price checks in the Price Guide thread. There has been a resurgence on the Trade Values board, and your price checks will often get answered in a day or two..
• Some items that do not appear in the price guide will sometime trade for significant amounts of runes, often because an advanced player is trying to complete a specific character build. If this happens enough times for a given item, that item will find be included in future Price Guide updates.
• This Price Guide is intended for use on the www.diabloii.net USEast trade board, and therefore reflects common transaction prices for trades conducted on that board. Trades arranged elsewhere may reflect different prices – but your safest bet is to trade with an established member of the USEast trade board
• In future updates, new additions and updated prices will be highlighted.
• Credit and thanks to pncwd and Ryu_Khan for compiling and writing the bulk of this Price Guide! Also, thanks to all of those who posts comments and price values in the thread; keep them coming!

In trading one high rune for another high rune of equal value (say, you’ve got a Ohm FT and you are ISO a Zod) it is commonplace – but not a ‘rule’ – to add 100 pts to your side of the trade. That is, a commonly seen trade looks like [L] FT: Ber + Um; ISO: Lo. These runes are not always traded like this, but if you’re having trouble trading one for another, try offering an extra 100.

It should come as no surprise that the vast majority of ‘High Runes’ are duplicates, and therefore subject to disappearing due to Blizzard security measures. USE THE UTMOST CAUTION WHEN USING THEM IN TRADES. A moderated trade is highly recommended.

Runewords:

A runeword item’s BASE trade value is what it costs to put together - Adding all the component prices together logically gets you to the value of a mid-range runeword item, with premiums added or discounts subtracted based on the outcome of the variable stats. Do not forget to add in the cost of the socketed item – several of these now cost more than the high runes in the runeword.

Please use this information to obtain a base value for any runeword items you are attempting to evaluate – there are far too many statistical permutations possible to list all possible values is this – or any – price guide.

[Jupiter Cyclops]

Hi, I just wanted to give my input on a couple values in the price guide.

First of all, I believe the values of the high runes are off a bit. This is based soley from my experience on BNet, as hr's are few and far betwen in the trade forums... I don't think it's possible to get a Jah / Ber for 2 Ist + Mal right now. Many trades I've seen they're going for something like 3 Ist to 3 Ist + Um (900 - 1000 points). I was able to get a Jah for 2 Ist Mal, though I consider that lucky as I have not seen any more hr's offered at that price. Lo is going for even more than Jah / Ber if you can find one. Everyone wants Forts and Griefs and the the demand is very high for these. I easily snatched up 4 Ist for mine (1200 points?!), but now I'm thinking I might have even been able to get more? I think it's just that people are ready to start making their Engimas and such, but the supply of runes isn't there yet which is affecting the price. Once the dupes start circulating as usual, this will change I'm sure. Some of the lower rune points values I believe could use some altering as well... Just my two cents on that

And here's a couple prices I've noticed. Again, purely based on my experience...

Shako - I believe this is trading for Gul straight up. I think I can confirm that.

Tals Armor - I don't know if it's even possible to gauge the price of this at the moment. It's going for an arm and a leg...and probably your soul to. I've seen consistent offers of like Vex.

Occy - I think this is going for more than Pul. I would put it anywhere from
Um to Mal.

Eth Titan's - Pul to Um I think, norm are not in demand

Windforce - Mal+? I offered Um Pul Lem for one which was roughly Mal and I got turned down. Seen lots of Windforce 4 Ist games.

Vamp - a decent one I think can go for Um

Viper - These have gone down. I think you could probably get a Pul for a good one. Lem for a lower one.

HoZ - Way more than Ist. You can't even get a HoZ for less than Gul. I think lower ones are going for Gul - 2 Ist. Hr's for the high end ones.

Sandtreks - Good ones with 15 / 15 are about Pul I think.

Perfect Nagel - Pul. Lower Nagels aren't worth as much anymore.

IK Armor - Ist I believe. That's all people want from that set. Other pieces are going for PGems as usual... Yes that guy that traded the Warcry GC for an IK Maul got ripped off big time

PCombat GC - Ist I think. Never seen one offered for less than that.

Cold GC - Um to Mal if I recall

There you go. I hope this helps. Some of it may be wrong ( or even most of it ), but I figured I would give my input anyways I miss the price guide.

I confirm most of these prices, except for a few.

Eth Titan's is worth atleast a Mal-Ist, I traded mine for 2 Ists since it had high %ed (more than 190). It depends a lot on that stat, but I'd say anywhere from Mal - 2 Ists, is a fair price.

Cold GC - Mal

Occy - Mal, can go up or down, to Um/Ist, but pretty much a Mal

Then here's a few others I've noticed:

Soj - Gul, the seller might ask you to add like an Um or Pul though

Mid-Range Mara's - 3-4 Ists

Key Set - Um
1 DKey - 2Tkeys or 2Hkeys, sometimes you can get even 3

Arachnid's Mesh - Mal or Ist

Thanks for all the pricing info!!

Looks like I can start to compile these prices and throw out the provo guide - I'll wait until the weekend to do it, so there are a few more days to discuss items that you think we can include.

Wasnt sure how i was supposed to contact you, but I just sold a 4OS Monarch (138 def) for an 11c/10/10 glacial ormus and 11/10 Sandstorm Treks, ill leave deciding what pts to count these as, since they are not the best of their %'s etc, good job on the new price guide, i like the pts as opposed to all runes

tks,

I can verify that skillers that are normally in high demand
are not moving on the marketplace. My +1 to traps gc
went thru two seven day trade windows with no bids
in either occurance.

I wonder if the problem might be that the normal currency
(runes) are in too short a supply for trading.

Here's an excellent note I got via PM - hopefully the market will speak up and tell me what to do, if anything. Don't forget, YOU are the market!

Nolo, the one piece of constructive criticism I have is that under the current system PGems aren't a whole number of points. I think previously people considered PGems, in their mind, to be the equal of 1 point. PGems were most often traded in multiples of 5 (3 for cheap items because it equals a re-roll), and under the current system 3, 5, and 10 PGems comes out to non-whole numbers of points. I think it'd be easier for people if 1 PGem = 1 point.

You can quote me publicly if you want, I just sent this in a PM so it wouldn't clutter up the PG thread.

Thanks for the note, David;

Yes, that's a bit strange - the 40 pgems = 50 pts is merely a rollback to 40=Pul, since I didn't want to tinker with the value (just adopted the one that held for most of the last ladder). The later price level, 40=Um would not yield whole number of points for 1 pgem either.

For this one, I'll let the market - of which you are a part - speak up and tell me what 1 pgem is worth. As soon as people agree on a new value, I'll make the change. There aren't a whole lot of 1-pgem items traded, so that 1 point = 1.25 pgems isn't at unwieldy as it may sound, since the transactions will be taking place at higher numbers & the fractions can be rounded away.

This is an artifact of the old values, assigned by the market, and I didn't think it was a good idea for me to jump in and tinker with the price. I set - manually - 100 pts = Um so that there would be a sensible order to rune/points conversion, and one that would be easy for people to remember: after that decision, I just mapped runes according to their old values. The low runes got flattened out (ie. Ral, Ort, and Tal now have the same point values) but I believe they actually are traded that way, when they are traded.

Thanks again for the comment, and I will cut/paste this into the TVals forum for people to discuss. I hope you'll participate!

The problem with this is that it making 1 pgem = 1 point (or 1.25 points or whatever) is effectively making pgems a common currency.

Pgems make a better currency than most things because they are "consumable" (once you craft or reroll, they are gone forever) but if they are hoarded, or even duped en masse by someone with WAY too much time on their hands, then you are back in the uncomfortable position of bumping up the price of every item instead of bumping one item down.

Notes: Not surprisingly, PTopaz are very highly sought-after. All the MF gear is being ISO'd, but those few that have been found aren't changing hands.

There are some decent runes being offered - Um, Mal, etc. - but still no one cuts loose their decent items, except for a few of the class-oriented Set pieces. In about a week's time, the Uniques will have piled up, and some of these trades will start happenening.

If this thread doesn't receive any pricing info, there's no way to update the price guide...


The ladder seaons is 6 days old, and already there are a number of good items up for trade.
