Am I frustrating the market?

L.S.
I have no clue as what to charge for armours.
I can craft full choice red Tryker heavy now at lvl90 and add +45 hp to it. When I am trying to sell it people will ask me what the price is. If I tell them my price, I get laughed at! WHat is a good marketprice for this kind of armour and for a lvl100 version with 50hp?
Set price is what I want to know...

What sort of prices are you charging? (not so I can laugh at you!)

Really depends on the player, but most for lvl80 +40hp, I used to charge 80-100K. I am getting the feeling this is well below market prices. Havent sold 90 commercial yet.

No, its a good, price, which most ppl can pay. If you harvest the mats, that is. There is absolutly no need in charging awsome prices, except maybe for high qual items. They need to stay a little rare
. I also ask money for the stuff i craft, but i dont harvest mats, so i charge about the mats cost of the item i make. Usually a little extra profit, to let me craft a few lvls. Like 20k for a q50 pike, with the stats ppl want. ITs up to you, and if you charge low, youll get a good name, and more customers, more profit

Hi there Nae,
You surely have a point in saying that if someone want a item crafted NOW and I have to go to the shop to buy the mats, price should be higher. As I harvest myself I have no idea what to charge. But I just had an idea:
- basic shop price + 100 % per item when I harvest myself. This to stop homins from buying cheap armours from me just to run to the store for a profit.
- basic mats price * 1,2 (failure) + 10% as these items are crappy compared to full choice.
Seems reasonable. btw, I am very softharted so if you have a good story you can still buy a lvl90 heavy full choice set (red, stop asking for green, dont want to go exploring for new sources. Yes Carla, that is you I am talking to
for about 100K.
Nice related story:
A few days ago a broke new Homin asked for green heavy lvl30. It was late and I was in a weird mood, so I said I would make it for him for 30K. Because it had to be green and I wasn't really clear in the head (2 AM something), I think I wasted about 100K on mats on the armour. CHoice lvl90, buying waaaaaay too much from the merchant, miscrafting (oops, already have a vest), you catch my drift.
The was really worried when I told him and had some troubles accepting the armour. While I had some troubles selling an armour that used basic and fine mats. In the end he took it and payed me 30K, so I can buy teleports. I hope he didnt die too much
Grtz,
