I just paid 35k when I did mine, 1 week after it drop to 25k, was I pissed............... you guessed it rite.
Thats why when some new quest or item shows up, is best not to rush and get it done, wait for the market to lvl up and you most likely be paying a reasonabl amount for it.
One quick example, I.M. Cuisses Lvl 50, I got them for 80k there were none at AH, one day will be 1 up, next day it'd be gone so I ended up paying 80k, when I got to lvl 55 I bought the Royal Knights Breeches and when to sell the I.M. Cuisses Lvl 50, when I checked the price history it was up to 40k, so I guess a lot of paladins hit lvl 55, cause there were like 20-25 on sale, by the way i kept mine, was,t gonna sell that low.
