Do Ya'll really have 20+ jah's?

Good morning diablo 2 brethren.
I am legitimately curious about the trade economy - i see in forums all the time "bro, thats GG, easily 10+

Jah".
This begs the question - is this just a reference point to illustrate an item's value relative to something people associate with high value? Or, do big time players literally just walk around with a box full of

Jah's?
Say I have a baller of a rare ring, a 6-pointer and I want to sell it for 15

Jah, is the expectation that someone will literally give me 15

Jah's or rather, someone would give me a few 20/5 sc's, because of its equivalent value?

I dont usually participate in such high end trading, mostly because every instance is met with one of the following:
1. Thats not GG
2. That's not even worth a

Pul
3. [crickets]
4. Good luck to you

Anyways, just wanted to have a conversation.
En Taro Adun, and Hail to you, champion!

Yes, some people definitely have a whole stash (or stashes) full of

Ber/

Jah - I think we have quite the few such wealthy players on this site. It’s not at all unexpected on non-ladder considering the game has been out for over 4 years and some people have been playing for all this time, and seeing how non-ladder economy never resets (if anything, there’s just continuous inflation on non-ladder, but it has stabilized somewhat). Like.

Ber/

Jah runes were valued at 20-30

Ist per in the early days of D2R (and still is in the very beginning of each new ladder season), now it’s like half that on non-ladder or less.

Yes, and even more thanks to

Uber Tristram, and some lucky finds.

If your GG ring, is most likely the best you can get for quite a while why not spend alot of on it? A stach of

Jah's aint doing you any good (also 20+ = 21 Jahs is only 21 slots =))

For reference you should look at the griffon retepnap and Tornado_OLO bid on it went for 70

Jah, so 15

Jah for a mostlikely BIS ring is definetly worth it - pricecheck.php?item=794

Note: Sorry if I'm not allowed to comment, since I'm not rich enough

you're totally right about SC NL Economy - i expect that i can get very good stuff for nothing, and by that same token, the very good stuff i have will likely yield very little.
oh well, maybe next ladder

If you think that's poor, you should see my miserable rune stash. I'm still hanging on to

El's, eventually I'll cube enough to get a

Ral.

I was there last week! Just get that bis ring!

The maximum I was able to get on a ladder season was around 10 Jahs and that's through constant trading and a lot of luck.

I can easily imagine people having whole tabs of Jahs on non-ladder as ShadowHeart has pointed out. It never resets

I'm just happy I got my first

Ist yesterday. I look at it as people that have stockpiles of higher end stuff have more time to devote to the game than I do. And trading? Yeah, don't have the patience for that.

I only play NL, so yes. This is made worse by the fact that I don't buy items, only sell, so the Jahs keep stacking up. There's only so many Enigmas I need.

Someone made an interesting point a few years before:
- Poor players mainly trade in

Perfect Gems

- Average players mainly trade in Ists

- Rich players mainly trade in Bers and Jahs

- Super rich players trade in small charm currency (the 5/20 = 20 life / 5 all res is worth around 25

Jah), the 3/20/20 = 3 max damage / 20 attack rating / 20 life is worth around 150-200

Jah if I remember correctly - I am definitely in the average + zone so not sure)
