Low-end items that are upgraded with "common" items in Velious will drop in price by a lot. Example of this is Diamondine Earring, which is upgraded by Orc Fang earrings.
Old-world items that are still really good in Velious will likely go up due to people not wanting to camp them (since they are old world) and the more plat entering the economy from semi-retired players. Items like Fungi, CoF, Heiro Cloak, Siblisian cloak, etc... Since there is nothing for level 60s to do pre-Velious besides play alts, farm and raid, lots of those items are being farmed. It'll still happen but to a lesser extent in Velious.
I don't think Manastone will go up in value much or go down in value much since it is only usable old world. Although it may go up due to the upgrades to CT (the god) and PoHate and Chardok, I don't think those 3 things will make it go up more than it is already. No one is going to pay 200k for an item for 3 zones.
Items like Trak BPs (Thurg/Hate BPs) and RBG/RBG (haste belt from SG) will probably go down because while still not easy to get, it is now much easier to get.
Other common low-end items (i.e. Nightshade Wreath) and items that are still close to droppable best in slot (i.e. Obulus Death Shroud) will likely not change much.
