Is it just me, or does this appear to be too cheap?
I've seen 2 people selling them, but others are selling for 50K plus. Was there a nerf in price? Or are people up to no good again?

Aside from duping, there could be other factors
- Demand is probably a bit lower (if not significantly lower) at this point in MoP
- Since there's a gold cap when transferring realms, some players will make/buy these in an effort to bring some additional gold to their new realm. Usually they'll want to get rid of it quickly and are willing to lose a little bit of gold in the process. (This is actually something I did when I transferred, think I ended up selling it for 70k, wasn't much of a market for it and I just wanted to get rid of it)
With the above reasons, I can understand selling it for maybe a few thousand gold less than the mat prices, but going as far as a third of the mat prices seems a bit fishy to me.
Notice you almost NEVER see one on the AH, they are almost always being sold my level 1's who wont respond when you tell them you will buy it for 15k more than 25k if they list it on the AH.
Theoretically, while these likely would be dupes anyways, I believe you can get those orbs from Blingtron? Thus being able to sell them lower than their cost and make a profit.
99.99% of the time, they are duping.
I can see getting some orbs from blingtron but you would need 3 of them to make any profit at 25k. 10+ players selling them at 25k or lower daily is weird, lowest I have seen was 9k. There is no way the players selling them obtained them legitimately.

Only buy panthers from the AH. The ones sold in trade are duped and will not work, when you right-click they say "not enough charges".
For 25k? Definitely duped at that price, but maybe there's a dupe that produces working items?
If someone unknowingly bought a duped Jeweled Onyx Panther for 25k gold would they get in trouble?
Always buy from the ah that way you can plead ignorance and say you thought it was a sellers mistake and blizz might be kind to you
Never buy anything expensive from a guildless level 1
If it's 25k on the AH, snap it right up and enjoy your new mount, likely from a realm transfer transferring gold/wants a quick sale/whatever. I believe you are protected buying via the AH too, like say, someone hacked an account, and the account had a panther on it, the hacker puts it on AH, the buyer is none the wiser and not at any fault, but your innocence can be questioned more if its via a level 1.
Kinda like paying via paypal, and paying via cash, one is much safer and traceable, to a degree.
From trade chat?
Yeah...you know the if it's too good to be true saying?
