Value
Wondering whether posting a value on a material is a good idea, because the accurate value would be whatever the Rare Material Trder offered at whatever time you chose to take it there. I don't think that listing Merchant prices for crafting materials is a good idea as it may just confuse users unfamiliar with their value. Thoughts... ? --Chronicinability 19:42, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
 * I don't know, I checked a few of the other rare material items and they all had values at the merchants on them -- Scourge  [[Image:User Scourge Spade.gif]] 19:44, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
 * Yeh me too (Interestingly the Ecto doesn't)...I'd be in favor of removing these values because they do not accurately represent the in game market. When was the last tim you sold a Diamonfd or a Ruby for 250gold? --Chronicinability 19:53, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
 * See Guild_Wars_Wiki:Article_retention Fox 20:02, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
 * "Information on dynamic prices (such as the buy/sell prices of specific items at trader NPCs or between players) is not to be retained."  I understand this and there are very obvious reasons for this...i was simply wondering if when these prices are not retained...we should replace with the static prices. I read the second line "Information on static prices such as the sell value to a merchant NPC is acceptable." as refferring to items which have a static sell value. Therefore not Crafting materials. Meaning that i thought Crafting material prices should not be retained. -- ChronicinabilitY 20:16, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
 * As far as I know, crafting materials have a set sell price at the merchants, I dont have the game installed on this computer so I cant exactly check it out -- Scourge  [[Image:User Scourge Spade.gif]] 20:29, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
 * Yes they do, and i see your point so stick with posting the merchant prices if thats how it's meant to be done. However in testing this...My Ecto's have no value written when i hover over them (as oppose to rubys or diamonds which says, Value 250 Gold) ...yet the merchant will only offer me 100 Gold each, and the Rare Material Trader obviously offers a lot more. I just think that when the information may be misleading and/or confusing (as i feel this is) then it should be left out. But just my opinion. -- ChronicinabilitY [[Image:Spiteful_Spirit.jpg|18px]] 20:39, 29 March 2007 (EDT) Edit...Incorrect info added...changed.

Price
Any1 know why this is so expensive even though it has no use at all? ~ Kurd 14:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The speculative market. Because people think it may have a use in the future, and they want to either use it when that happens, or profit from said event. IF it happens. --Kale Ironfist 14:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Same reason Rubies and Sapphires were expensive before Nightfall, people are expecting a use and hoarding them now so they can price gouge later when people want them. - [[Image:User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG]] HeWhoIsPale 14:33, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Expert Salvage
this isnt mentioned on other material articles. we could either add the salvage to other materials (what would be a quite big list by some...) or we could remove this note and make notes on the discussion page or sth like that... Zerpha The Improver 21:56, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Lol!
Diamonds are cheaper than rubies and sapphires xD-- Unending fear   22:43, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Not anymore! Damn screwed up economy x( Ty gw2
 * Any idea on the current price of them? --Arxae --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.136.238.232 (talk).
 * GWW is not a price checking website, we don't list prices nor do we provide them. Your best bet is find the average of the sell price and buy price of a Diamond at a rare material trader. There are also various fansites which may have pricing information that you'd find useful. Other than that, you can also try asking in-game through all chat, guild chat, whisper, or even take a look through the trade section of the party search menu.
