Just messing with ya. Intriguing question.
In 2023, when Green merges into blue, manastones, Circlets of Shadow, Holgresh Elder Beads, Moss Covered Twigs, Lockets of Escape, and other legacy items will appear on Blue. Some will be sold, but some won't. Consider: if you only acquired one manastone for your wizard, or one CoS for your necro, you wouldn't be likely to sell it, perhaps ever. People who farmed multiples will be the most likely sellers. The list mechanic may limit this to some extent.
Anyway, it's obvious prices will come down as supply will increase, but to what extent?
Also, remember that some Green players are playing NostalgiaQuest or HardmodeQuest. Will they even log into their characters after the merge? Why would they sell legacy items on a server they don't even want to play? Sometimes when you ask a question, there are other questions being skipped.
Another thing to consider is how will the inevitable merge affect the Green economy. If people know there will be a chance to sell an item in three years, how many will they hoard? How much will the Green economy revolve around the sale of items after the end of the whole timeline? Will we let the Great Merging distract us from enjoying our classic good time on Green?
