i cant understand why those 2 items are worth so much :scratch: , other than they are really hard to find. Coh and botds are better in almost every way but are worth so much less. Is it just because some people have a rare item fetish or something

.
It's all about the hidden boni on those kind of items man, +450 to style points here, +750 ultra cool points there, they add up... Seriously though, they are collected because they are rare and cool in their own right, for lots of people, having something "better" doesn't really matter. I for instance, think that the guy with the barb on west ladder who has the upped silks of the victor is just awesome. There's something about just using something because you can that trumps using the same thing as everyone else because it's the best. So, when I see a zon pimping a tyrael's armor, or a sorc, or anyone else using a mang song's Lesson, or someone with a normal unique upped all the way to elite when, when they could have bought something else for the rune it cost to up it, I have to give them their props, even if it's not the best it still has class. Hmm, anyone ever thought of taking all the lowest unique items in the game and making a show character wearing them upped all the way to elite, that would be like the best thing ever. Maybe a zealot, with the crushing blow on that Rixot's Keen Falcata

Then you could like, cham the helm, um the shield, etc etc, lol. It wouldn't win a single duel or be able to play in hell with out some serious charms, but who ever made it would win the most style points in the history of battle.net...
