If my experience is any indication, this will end with utter disappointment and tears. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I-it's not like I wanted that robe anyway. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

luckily i didn't win it. i would've been really worried about what to do with it at that point (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

100M for a peerless force shield (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I'm still bitter that we couldn't see the PSWD's auction (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

100M for a peerless force shield (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

is it the final price?

is it the final price?

Yep. morineko only started winning at the last minute, but I guess blackjac00 didn't notice in time, unfortunately.

yep, i guess so as well.

Why did a shield go for that much? Aren't high end players mages?

Many, but not all, and the few who do gather top-tier melee sets at high level have lots of funds to invest.

It went for so much because it's either the best or the second best possible shield type. (I did some math a while ago and thought Dampening was somewhat better due to proportion of incoming Crushing damage for heavy armor users, but don't quote me on that)

Because some people have more money than they know what to do with. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Crushing is ~30% of 1H incoming damage.
7 points of crushing resistance are always going to be better than 2.1 of pmi.

Anyway, the value is due to rich players being too rich I guess (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
With no other way of spending credits peerless equips / radiants phases with good rolls / very good staves will always fetch an insane price.

well, blackjac possibly owns the best 1H-tier gears atm. and it's not like he lacks funds either. his current shield is... uh... a SDA one? whatever - so he may have wanted to upgrade it. as for morineko, i don't know why he wanted it (not that i'm interested too much, btw), but i guess that what will happen when one of the biggest star sellers and one of the biggest H@Hers collide (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Only 30%? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Interesting (I don't have a melee set)

I collect stats during REs (at work, so I can't copypaste the data now).
From what I remember it's 30% crushing and 24% piercing.
Piercing attacks are much more common in general, so there isn't a whole lot of difference between the two.

Someone could really browse shops (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It went for so much because it's either the best or the second best possible shield type.

As Sapo said, second best, maybe third after Deflection as well, not sure. Protection on shields does a very poor work, the roll is too low and the five PMi rolls on armors make it even less relevant.

are you really implying that prices on shops could actually reflect the real value of an item? it's not true for consumables (just look at WTB section, for example), letting apart for gears (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Well no, but before going high on the offers, checking if a shop has a cheaper one? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Edit: just noticed that a certain someone has taken off the price tag from a certain item (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
