Brown Chitin Protector thread

[Videri]

Hey guys, I have a question. I was wondering if I should buy a Brown Chitin Protector for my druid. Here are the stats.

Slot: CHEST
AC: 12
DEX: +9 STA: +9 AGI: +9
WT: 10.0 Size: LARGE
Class: DRU
Race: HUM ELF HEF HFL

...

Just kidding. I would rather wear a chest item with wisdom, mana, hp, or resists that weighs less than 10 pounds.

My real question is: why are people trying to sell this for 2-3k? Is that its actual value? Has someone ever bought it for that much?

And if so, are people playing melee druids or something? Is this is Diablo II expansion with a Fury werewolf build? Is this World of Warcraft with a Guardian druid tank build? Or is this EverQuest, where druids don't use AC nor agility nor dexterity and don't want to wear 10 pounds of garbage on their chest when they could have wisdom there instead?
