The Legend & The Broker Price
They are just controlling the market and pushing the price up like for other precursors.
According to our beloved anet, it is all fine and how it is supposed to be.
EDIT: Sorry, I shouldn’t have compared buy offers due to “fake” ones being placed. Still my point stands. There are far more people who want the staff than there are available to sell. Scarcity results in high prices, and even without the traders you still wouldn’t get one without a lot of gold (or luck, of course).
