So these are crafted? or are they some kind of world drop?
You had to buy them when they were on a vendor, they are no longer on it though
Very nice find, i had no idea they were removed from the vendor, im sure i have 2 atleast :> +rep!
As others said, they used to be sold from a vendor in Shattrath named Haris Pilton (Same npc that sells the big bags etc). They for some reason decided to stop selling them even though they are a really cool looking item. That is why they are so rare. There is high demand and very very limited supply.
I just made 12'500g of the 2 i had on my alt. Shame it was on a different server then my main. But i also started asking around in trade if someone had any, and would'nt you know. Got one more for 600g at my main. Conclusion, epic find (atleast for those of us who got lucky. Unlike the HH exploit...)
lol i cant see why people would ever buy these for 8k! Too bad i dont have any :<
I rather sell it for 100K
Player Loses 100,000 Gold Due To A Misclick In Auctioneer
Made a new rogue last week to see what all the low level bg whining was about, scouting the ah for low level items for it and saw a pair of these on ah for 150g
Good times for me :P
The reason they were so expensive is that it's supposed to mimic how fashion fads work. One day they are really expensive (2000g), the next day (or patch) they are cheap (5c), and before you know it they are gone.
Very clever of Blizzard IMO.
I had a buddy write an Econ paper on the WoW economy and he included this. Prof loved it.
