Why are Lemons so blasted expensive?
You can’t sell Lemons… they are Account Bound. I don’t know why they are listed on the TP tho.
Here’s a link to the wiki on Lemons, and there it will tell you where to go to get some :-)

Three words: Combustible Lemon Grenade.
The reason: You find them from a karma vendor and they’re account bound.
Now that IS weird that they would be account bound.. hmmm..
And tyvm for your replies Will evidentually get this game down yet.
Happy Hunting in the game!!
The reason why there are still buy listings for Lemons on the TP is because originally Lemons weren’t account bound, and ANet has yet to purge the old orders from the TP.
Secondly, some players (probably bots or gold farmers) are using the TP as a store for gold, since the money for the order is taken when you place the order, but you can get it back at any time by cancelling the order. Since Lemons are account bound, the player is at no risk of losing his money since nobody can fulfill his order.
That said, I would laugh SO hard if the Nov 15 change made Lemons non-account bound once more and somebody fulfilled that 3800g order for 1 Lemon. :P
It would be a good idea for an anet employe to remove 3800g from the economy, by creating a tradeable lemon.
I will be keeping a lemon in my inventory so once a new update comes I will instantly check TP for that 1 day…
When life gives you lemons…
I have a stack just in case one day for glitch or otherwise they become saleable on the TP and I can cash in on those outright crazy buy orders.
I’m almost thinking some of them have to be from accounts nobody is playing because who in their right mind wouldn’t cancel the listing and get their money back?

You and me both, buddy.
It is simply a bug that allows you to place buy orders for things that shouldn’t be listable, nothing more and they are working to correct the issue with a strategically placed IF statement
I had to head over to BLTC to see we weren’t talking about the normal 6-8s per lemon orders but people showing off how much gold they have by posting orders for Lemons.
I think it would be down right funny if an ANET gm replaces his buy order during maintenance one day with 1 lemon for pickup.
