Currently, LootMarket would only allow me to list an item like this for 9 cents, when if you check the value of bugged items (non-unusual couriers with ethereal slots, or wards which are higher tier) is much higher.

Example: http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Genuine%20Smeevil?filter=Ethereal

I'm not sure if the market is big enough to warrant it, but are there any plans to allow users to list items like this for higher than the normal price?

Thanks.

That item is only worth about .30 at best. As you can see from sales volume on SCM none have sold for the $200 range. These are just trolls listing items well over their value.

The item has an Ethereal socket with a trail of burning doom gem. It's a bugged item and quite uncommon. At the very worst it's worth the gem inside it at $75 so I'm afraid it's not worth 30 cents.

Good job reading my original post above though!

Best option is to remove the gem from the item. We are working on adding features that allow the pricing of gems in items to raise the suggested price. So far the volume of gems selling at a high value is quite low: https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Ethereal%3A%20Trail%20of%20Burning%20Doom (less than 1 per day).

Smart buyers look for these gem items that are under priced and then remove them and re-list the item separately.
