What is up with Perfect Vorpal prices?

I keep track of Perfect Vorpal prices as an easy way to keep track of how the top end enchant market is doing, but recently their prices seem to have gone haywire.
Before the Gond event they were ~15 million AD, but a couple of days ago the cheapest was almost 20 million Ad, and now they are several for 12.5 million AD. Worse 12.5 million doesn't make any sense given the price of coals as it is cheaper than making one yourself...
Any ideas why the prices are yo-yoing like this.

The reason for it is probably reduced demand caused by recent exploit and following maintenance. And some "extreme" abusers getting banned. Not all though...
WTB Class Reroll please
Coal Ward prices have plummeted to ~600 K AD and are still falling. (As an aside I always wondered who could possibly have enough AD to burn that they would purchase Coals at up to 950K AD...)
So lets assume some 'lucky' people had been buying Coals with their AD. They would now want to sell them or make top end enchants as quickly as possible.....
what was that exploit about?
Lack of liquid ADs
1) People have all their cash in stocks of stuff that they will sell when Mod4 hits.
2) It took about time but I think that eventually most people understood that in order to make money all you need = Zen, so they have most of their cash frozen in AD2Zen requests with no chance to take them off due to the absurdly long waiting time.
Coalescents + Chest bugs
I've been talking to a few people who told me that the same-loot-in-every-box bug affects the 7-days chest too.

Don't want my thread closed so I can't answer but you can just check Reddit or Google it.
Two good points.
The final point (same-loot-in-every-box bug affects the 7-days chest ), even if true however, shouldn't really affect the rate of coal ward production as people will simply get something else on characters not getting coals, but have no way to increase the number of characters getting coals.
However, the fall in coal prices has been extraordinarily swift, and I have noticed the same accounts selling large numbers of coals and lesser enchantments, so a major driver is a few people people liquidating VERY large numbers of coals.
tbh i heard about it b4 but every one who i know and who was doing it isnt banned their alts are hope they ill track them
the expl was about endless astral rift farm so ppls could have infinite amount of AD.

I don't think so. I get 11 boxes every week and pile them up to open on one character. All different stuff.

perhaps, I have also noticed an increase in Coal ward chance from the 7 day chest.
Is there a major nerf incoming for Vorpal or something?
WTB Class Reroll please
So you are saying that it is people trying to get liquid AD before Mod 4? That seems odd to me as I assume that prices of enchantments will go up early on in Mod 4 (to at least match the cost of making them).
Unless it is pure panic selling of course....
There might be a x2 refinement weekend soon. I doubt they will beat all the monster cards though so...probably just pre m4 panic.
Also, I see no vorpal nerfs on preview. It's not the only enchantment going down in the price.
WTB Class Reroll please
Good point about double RP event, but the cost of Perfect Vorpal just went down to 9 million. Even excluding RP costs, you need 15 coals (or 7 coals and 8 Lessers) and 10 Greater Marks of Potency. That is an absolute minimum of 8.5 million AD right there.
My only thought on this weirdness is that the markets are so messed up with exploited AD and old exploited enchants that trying standard economic reasoning doesn't work.
you can clear all the content on this game including pvp whitout a perfect anything.
AND if you can even get a normal version of an enchantment and a soulforged you are doing something very wrong.
all this hurry to have perfect everything and pay their way to superman is just stupid. I had made a new cw, a mof, with dread ring armor, a soulforged and a lesser terror... he cleared all the content on the game he could enter, multiple times, with a gs of 9k. ranking pretty decent 1st/2nd place on "paingiver" in almost every run.
Of course I am a experienced player.
To be completely fair about it.

About vorpal nerf - I think i did read something about a tweak/nerf for mod4, though I don't know how valid the nerf perspective would be.

Edit: minus RP of course but still a decent profit.
You have to include the cost of the Greater Marks of Potency too, so that is an extra 10* 100K = 1 million AD. So as I said, even excluding RP, it is still a minimum of 8.5 million AD. and they were selling for 9 million yesterday at one stage.
So people are taking massive losses for some reason to sell their Perfect Vorpals fast.....
If I remember right, perfects were going for 6-7 million a month ago. So if they had bought them then, they're making 2 million.
But if I had to guess it may be more people are selling their vorpals to get plaguefire for mod4, when things can proc off weapon enchant effects.
The only reason that I see buying this enchant for this amount is if you have AD to burn and you are super rich or you are just ignorant to how to make enchants (I can make 3-5 greaters for about 1 million AD). I may actually put up some enchants that will be worth having for PvE and PvP for mod 4, since the changes to all the classes now, but I can tell you Vorpals are not at the top of the food chain like they were before).
