Gleefully watching the token prices drop, so I can buy that silly bronto mount, even if it doesn’t have a cute gnome mail lady and just a silly mailbox.
I am curious though, why are they dropping so steadily when last night/this morning, they were spiking?
people selling tokens are likely outstripping those buying them from the ah again
Oh. Ok, that makes sense. I am very unfamiliar with the tokens and only became interested when someone pointed out I could use them to knock the price of the new mount down to something I wouldn’t hate myself spending.
If i had to guess, two things:
Like Mad said, sellers have become aware of it and are selling more often.
And 2, most of the people that could buy the mount from the get go, bought it yesterday, so its largely people left that cant affort it and have to farm for the tokens, reducing sells speed.
I am glad that hesitating seems to have paid off.
That’s a precipitous drop. I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
Me either. Was working late last night and when I last checked at about 4 it was over 320,000 a piece.
I figured it would easily be over 400,000 by the time I got up.
Oof. Glad I sold mine for 350k during lunch. 
Because people were waiting until the price hit $300 I imagine before they bought tokens for gold. Now a flood being put on the AH.
Who sets the price? When I looked on the ah it wasn’t like normal items where you have lists at various prices.
i only saw it at max 270k last night before i went to bed, its now already 250k for me
It’s based off of supply and demand.
I checked as I was leaving work at about 4-4:30 this morning and it jumped to 320.
There is an algorithm Blizz uses to adjust the price based on supply vs. demand, plus they have price change caps in place to limit how fast the price can rise and fall.
From the plot from yesterday at https://wowanalytica.com/wowtokenprices, it looks like it rose at the max rate yesterday and is now falling at the same max rate.
/moo 
So when you buy a token from blizzard, you really have no idea what you can get for it until it sells on the ah?
That is an interesting model.
Thank you.
The token market is going to fluctuate a lot during the release window of the Brutosaur, so January 6th or something.
It will definitely be possible to get this for around 1 million gold again. Just gotta wait out the initial hype.
I believe you get the current price you initially get it at, regardless of how much (or little) it sells at. So if you had purchased a token to sell at the height at around 350,000 gold, but it didn’t sell until around 250,000 gold, you’d still get that 350k gold. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, though.
This is correct
From what I understand, this is correct.
Which is good, because I snagged a couple tokens to sell this morning before the price fell off a cliff, and I’m still waiting for them to sell eight hours later.
Almost everybody that was going to buy tokens with gold did so in the first 12 hours.
Seeing the price spike, everyone else decided to dump their tokens today and now no one can sell them at all. lmao.
Glad I got in on it while it was still pretty high (it had fallen to 320k by the time I woke up). I certainly wasn’t going to stay up all night and gamble on it like a degenerate though.
I just wish I could have my gold finally, lol.
maybe blizz “printed” more of them
