If you are the only one, or one of 2-3 crafters on a server capable of making a particular item, you have a monopoly. Please don't butt into conversations without reading the previous posts. I'll post the post I was responding to below for your reference:

There is nothing stopping other crafters from getting to the level where they can produced the "over-priced" good.

If the money is that good, there will be no short of producers.

If there are only a few, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that the effort to craft the item outweighs the reward for all but a few - i.e. You aren't paying enough.
