Ya'll can call me greedy for wanting everyone to not get pissed at crafting but the real reason is you guys just want to keep prices high and keep making money. Nothing is worth as much as you yourself think it is.
Things are worth what buyers decide to pay for them, nothing more than that.

The primary reason things get as expensive as they do is because many people, much like yourself apparently, cannot be bothered to put in the effort to obtain/produce it themselves.
