Most high level tier items have gained 100-500% value over the past 2 days, but still their value in terms of real dollars is quite low (ancient grand shield 80k--->400k).
My prediction is that some of the higher tier items will increase 50-100 fold in value a few weeks after bop patch and launch is live. In age of conan and diablo 2 a prepatch item could easily fetch 100-200 dollars or more, in neverwinter this is equivalent of 10-20 million ad.
edit: missed some ratio crossovers.
