Please no items binding to players....

If that was the case nobody would bother selling items in the wards/AH, would be no point.

Closer to, not exactly. of course you would want to get more than you would from vendoring it if it was sellable on the wards. But of course if you could constantly produce said item, being close to vendor price wouldn't be all that bad really. Slow income, but income nonetheless.

It really comes down to how much effort you really felt it took to make the item. I may feel my effort is worth 5x the vendoring value, someone else may feel their effort was worth 30x the vendoring value. And I wont even mind if someone bought my lower-valued-effort items in order to resell them. I still make gil in the end . There will inevitablly be that supply and demand set/fluctuating price, but I may even value the item even lower than that reguardless.
