Just a quick question: anyone knows why the price of Vial of the Sands is dropping since 4.3? Did I miss anything here?

supply/demand probably. The demand is low, supply is high, so prices drop.

I doubt it!
Some people are selling Sands of Time for under 1k gold. There's something wrong... I read somewhere else that it might be related to a vendor dupe.

If it's under the cost of the mats, it's actually a cheat or dupe, and you run the risk of losing the item, or getting suspended...

or they server transfered and were over the gold cap, so turned gold into the vendor mats and are selling cheep for quick sales.

You can't vendor a Vial for quick gold right after you transferred like you can with Sands of Time. Either way it can be a huge loss in gold, but that's the price to transfer more than the cap, esp if you need the gold immediately.

Gold farmers found a way to duplicate Sands of Time, they found a way to duplicate Living Embers when t12 first came out.

To be blunt, most people would know something was amiss if they saw numerous copies of very valuable items selling for far less than their actual worth. Originally Posted by officeaj

People sell Vial of the Sands for 25k or less on my Server. I don't buy all the stories with some guy who transfered or needs fast money or whatever. Something is not right here, and no one knows a proper answer. This is happening on more than one server, and I see it for the first time ever. Is it just a coincidence that with the start of patch 4.3 there suddenly are lots of people who transfered and want to get their gold back? I doubt it.

With patch 4.3 came a vendor duplicate bug, people were able to buy more sands of time then what they payed for. I know people have been banned for doing it so i'm certain blizzard have fixed it as well.
Prices are bound to go back to their normal price in a couple of weeks so if you can afford it, stock up.
