DM Q&A: Kasmorn's Granite Shield - Merchant Pricing

[DingoishOne]

So sometime ago Zynisany acquired the shield and I have no idea which pricing I should apply to sell it to any players.

It's abilities are...

Large Shield

Large Shield +2 AC
Weight 25.0

Arcane Spell Failure +10%
Armour Bonus vs Piercing +3 (AC Shield Modifier)
Armour Bonus vs Slashing +3 (AC Shield Modifier)
Armour Bonus +1 (AC Shield Modifier)
Decrease Skill Modifier: Tumble -6
Material: Elemental, Earth
Skill Bonus: Discipline +3

So it has 2 different sets of 3 AC but overall +1 AC so should it be classed as a +1 +2 or +3 for sale? I could apply the 50% sale value as the license says but that's only 3-4k (before applying the 2.5X) which seems fairly cheap for something that gives 3 ac vs both pierce + slashing.

15k GP minimum for it would be ok.

While it is close of a +3 shield, its main perks are simply that.
