that would be one of the few items actualy marked up

but then look at the price history to see if anyones bought it

and for those who dont realize, that basicaly cost 25-30k to make, 60k isnt really bad price for it if you want to save time

if you care more about money and not time, youd go buy the materials and find a crafter(in which case you may or may not have to pay a service fee on top of it too)


but what happens when more people start selling these....this i the problem we come to

your 25k to make item, drops in price, to 15k, now you cant make it without taking a loss, and no one makes them anymore, and therefore people thatw ant them cant even get them


sure they can still buy the mats to make the item, but they wont, because they will have to pay more, and why should they pay more then what people used to sell the item at, they will expect that 15k price to return, and not buy the materials for 25k unless they are desperate(especialy cuz they may end up paying as much as 50-60k if they dont have a friend who can make it)
