I don't know about you, but I keep over 100 of every type of leather used in LK plans. In my time of gathering all of this I have been lucky enough to gather even 1 after hours of skinning. As of now every mob that can be skinned has a 1% chance of dropping fur.
That is why fur is expensive.
Since the option to purchase fur was announced the prices for it on my server have been dropping. After next patch their value will decrease more. As for heavy borean leather, the only reasons it sells for its current rate is due to the fact that 12 of them give you
5.29g
from vendors.
On my server heavy borean sells .44g each divide that by 6 borean making 1 heavy borean give you the value of borean leaher at 7 silver each.
This is rock bottom for these trade goods. If they go lower than that, people will use add ons to see that they can craft them into something more valuable and the price will come back up over this amount.
I am sure that much like me other skinners ahve plenty of heavy borean leatehr stocked up to flood the AH with furs
tl;dr Arctic fur prices will fall and heavy borean leather prices may go up

Wow. I hadn't heard of this. this is awesome. arctic fur goes from 90-100g on my server. A stack of borean leather goes from 15. so that reduces the price to buy by 45g!
And it's significantly cheaper to buy a bunch of borean leather and make it into heavy borean.. Thousands of gold here I come. haha.

Grrr. I hate people who can play the Auction House. If I were to try the same thing tyrentofthought here is doing, someone would catch me and post 20+ stacks of fur and undercut me.
Grats to you guys who can get away with it. I am going back to dailies.

Borean Leather will go up, Heavy Borean Leather will go up more (to the point where it should be somewhat profitable to buy Borean Leather and make it into Heavy Borean Leather - I know , sounds crazy, but thats how the economy has worked in the past), and Frozen Orbs will go way way up (only initially, I don't know what effect the new PUG system changes will make to the Frozen Orb market).
Leg enchants will go down, but not as much as most people will think. There will be a larger profit margin on them, but that may subside after a while.
Also keep in mind : 3.3 will bring about alot of new gear. Initially, Leg enchants, leather, etc all will be consumed more often than what you're used to now.
I'm basing my predictions on three things:
#1) The change made that allows you to turn in 10 Heavy Borean Leather into 1 Arctic Fur
#2) The fact there will be alot of new gear- gear that needs leg enchants and new patterns that need crafting :)
#3) The emotional decisions involved in selling//buying items. This one is a little more complicated. For example, people will see Borean Leather selling for 20g(as an example) and assume it's way overpriced (not realizing the changes the patch has brought) and undercut it based on their previous knowledge that Borean Leather goes for much less.
Another example of #3: A tank sees the Leg Enchant selling for less than he is used to and immediately buys it, not realizing its priced 20g more than its 'worth' now. This one might be a little easier for most people to digest - most tanks probably don't realize there was a leatherworking change at all.

I want to be on your servers! Arctic Fur is going for ~35g on Al'Akir (EU) atm :( I used to love seeing that blue item in my skinning box as it would be a guaranteed 100g but now it's hardly worth it.
