I'm very much inclined to believe Cyanne's theory. At first I assumed it was another hacking spree, but this explains the outrageously high prices of 1/3/5% slates.
Whoever bought them up when they were still under 20mil are going to be quite rich. And to those who say this method is too costly...think about people with badly scrolled one-of-kind items...z-helms/Lunchboxes (More LB-oriented since it's actually one of a kind).
Even spending 200mil a slot would be worth it for them, if they intend to GM scroll it.
