Well, 290s are useful for zons. They make your damage climb and it helps kill everything that isn't poison immune. 290 damage for one out of forty spots in our inventory is pretty damn good. Also, they _were_ rare, thus earning value. It would just be easier if Blizzard just deleted all the 290s. The soj totals aren't so high anymore, like the older days since there are a couple thousand being sold in hope that they'll have uber diablo appear in their game. 40/15s have actually depassed the 290s in worth now on USEast softcore closed. 2 X 290 = 1 X 40/15
