Price of Dye
Probably not. It’s simply market fluctuation. Due to the increased amount and decreased price, people bought up the dyes, even beyond the price where they used to be at. Now the market has stabilized there and will until people stop wanting to buy them at that price and people post them for lower.
It’s why even though the amount of rare skins from events is slowly decreasing you’re not seeing a massive boost. Because people post them up at prices and can’t change them without losing money, they are kind of set at what the price of the week was.
Mainly, 300,000 people suddenly had “legend” drop from the karka chest and now need dyes for gift of colour to make bifrost, hence price rising as they all got bought up.

He’s not talking about Unidentified Dyes, but specific high-demand rare dyes.
He’s talking about ALL dyes. They ALL had an increase in price. The high-end ones just illustrate the dramatic increase.
One theory is dyes started rising after Anet’s massive bot ban. With all those people gone, dye drops probably dropped overall. And bots would sell the dyes – they’re not interested in their color.
80 Guardian. 80 Warrior. 80 Thief. 80 Engineer. 80 Necromancer. 80 Ranger.
Yep, it’s a flow-over effect from the massive bot ban. Prior to this bots would just sell any unid’ed dyes they found on the TP, since the return for doing so is more profitable in the long run than selling id’ed ones. Now that their numbers have been hammered, supply has dropped by a lot and prices have gone up as a result.
The increased supply of Precursors and people going for Bifrost and Sunrise probably hasn’t helped though.
