I’m sure this happens a lot but this is the one I came across today.

The lower level armor is more expensive than the higher one.

Thanks.

maybe because there are 3x more available of the higher level one than the lower one + people are werid and sell things for less than its worth just to make a quick buck.

Supply and demand.

Got it.

I wouldn’t buy a lower level armor for more coin than a higher level one, but that’s just me.

Its based on the price of the “Superior Rune of the Traveler”, which is currently at ~1g40.

With non-max level gear, one should always remember why people would buy them: as temporary gear for a character still being levelled up. So, low level is not necessarily a negative trait.

Both have that rune.

Keep in mind the price the TP shows there is not necessarily the ‘real price’. Many times if you click the item you’ll find the price changes. Also just because someone is trying to sell it for that doesn’t mean anyone is buying. The low level may have had one listed for less than the higher level until recently when someone bought it and a new cheap one hasn’t been posted yet.

Alternatively the high level one may have recently had someone post one below the ‘average’ price and it hasn’t sold yet.

Most likely there were a bunch of them at 65 and 78 around the same price because the price is based on that rune. (The gear isn’t wanted for its stats its wanted to rip).

People farmed/opened more of the 78 and started undercutting.

Voila that one is cheaper, but the rune isn’t increasing enough to make it worth it for someone to buy and relevel the market.
