PM on here or /tell Dodi in-game with price.

Inb4 "there's one on the AH right now." That one is marked up quite a bit beyond the going rate.

The price is going to just keep going up, Cerberus is the only way for people to obtain Hides/Leathers now.

The hide price has been relatively consistent for as far back as I can see. The throttle on hide availability is temporary. The attempt to 4x or 5x the price seems a bit much to me based on these factors. Ultimately the market will settle where it settles and that will be that. In the meantime I will try to get an NQ for a price that I am comfortable with. If not then I’ll just have to use another back piece. Hopefully Nas rolls out updated ZNM’s sooner rather than later.

I think the people who were selling them that cheap completely missed the part where there will now only be one hide coming into the server every 2-3+ days. The fact that you're now having issues finding one for a price you find reasonable all but confirms it's new value.

Thanks for all the comments, PM's and well-wishes. I got one for 290k and am satisfied with my purchase. Case closed.

PW was dropping so many hides for so long, that it may take awhile for the change in hide supply to change the price significantly.

This is very true. We saw the same thing happen with PCC; hitting a low of 80k and then rocketing up to one million not even a month after Argus was fixed and the 40 PCC+ on AH removed.
