Why +1 to Level of all Minion Shields are so expensive?

I don't understand that is that market fixing / manipulation? Why it is so damn expensive in trade league. I got serous problem get any currency or sell items for profit, and I need this shield for my minion char.

most actions now start 90c / 1 div ( number of auctions now : 1585 )

:/ sad face

Let's start with the weight of this modifier: craft of exile says it's 400 out of ~ 90k. It means you'll need about 200-300 alterations in average to get this modifier. Believe me, it's very boring to roll this much. But it seems to cost about 30c, which is much cheaper.

Another part of this effect is a high demand. It scales the price someone would pay for such a shield. This 60c margin is a payment for someone, who will spend his time doing boring thing.

By the way, do you only need +1 to level of all minion skill gems? If yes, alteratoon spam seems to be the easiest (maybe the cheapest as well) method of getting it.
Thx for answer and clarification. Wish me luck alt-spamming :)
