MP silksteel pants cost me between 300g and 500g to craft
Why don't you 'Help Albion!' and sell yours for 600g (Costs me 2p or less to make a whole MP set)
Don't diss crafters for making a Massive profit while your making a massive profit yourself

Don't worry I'm sure nobody will buy the pants for 5p, you make the profit not the greedy someone :)

lol so you want Jordie to make MP pants for 1 p and sell for 600 gold ? and if it takes 2 p to make sell for 600 gold ?:/.. hmm im sure Jordie wouldnt want to make alot of profit out of his items meybe a little more over material costs and retry costs its not like he is selling scrolls for 20 plat a time or trying to sc a suit for 85 p is he ? Jordie - what happened sucked mate dont let it affect your and our benefit to albion and ppl who you craft for :)

it's disgusting when ppl buy up "cheap" items on the market just to put them on their own CM for a much higher price.
would be better if the person who crafted/farmed the stuff put the stuff out slightly higher priced then so the person that deserves it get's the profit imo.

and to the retard caught red handed in this case, so you really think it was worth becoming a "greedy, low moral and sleezy fucktard" just for the profit of 3p?
3p is NOTHING these days FYI ^^

benefit to albion ?
Such Shit from you wannabe roleplayers, i'm sure when you sell your Mad tales 3 on your CM's for 15plat your thinking about helping albion.
Jordie also made the same statement lol, such fun for selling at 400% profit, tbh i don't mind what you sell your stuff for, its a sellers market at the moment, but using the good old 'benefit to albion' lines is such shit.


(Yes and people buying items cheap just to sell them off more expensive piss's me off....i used to sell FULL respect stones at 2p only to find people buying them and selling them for 4p ^^)

The difference is you put in your posts-

robs someone who could have used the pants and benevited the realm of albion.

I don't sell my items to Benifit Albion
I sell my items to provide money to boost MY CHARACTERS (and family/friends ^^)
Call me Greedy if you wish, i don't give a flying fuck what you or anyone in your guild think of me

I 'slag you off' because you post about helping the great realm of albion! by moaning that someone is trying to make profit on something that you were already to make 400% profit.

I always enjoyed looking at the CMs that sold items such as potions for 1g each for example, then sneakily hid some in there for 1p each hoping people wouldnt notice and get ripped off when buy alot of them :twak:

fell for it myself not so long ago, 4g..4g..4g..4g..4g..4p..4g.. wtf where did my plat go? houseowner is some unguilded lvl 20 etc.. sad really.

and if the legs cost him 600g to make, and hes selling them for 2 plat, 1.4p for like 2 hours work is greedy? not fair to abuse jord for that considering taht 2 plat is really nothing these days..

It's pretty obvious that all of you guys trying to flame Jordie you havent got any idea of crafting and you havent got the slightest idea what kind of a person Jordie is.

I know him very well and he's one of the most honest ppl I've met on this server, so posts like that will not affect his reputation at least among the ppl who know him. :worthy:

Regarding the crafting and pricing issue, I've got all kind of LGM's except fletcher and I've done my share of crafting as well, got a bunch of ppl wearing mp sets of all sorts from me.

Crafting takes TIME and GOLD so hell I'll sell my items for nothing just to help, so instead of flamming crafters maybe you should try flamming those who go farming in DV the regarding shades 3 of 3 and then they sell it on CMs for more than 10 p. I've farmed it myself (for me when I needed it not to sell it) and it took me less than an hour. Have you ever counted the hours you need to make a full mp plate set (not to mention the nervous breakdown when you do more than 100 retries to get the damn mp). So posts like these sound rediculous to experienced crafters at least.

By the way, instead of helping Albion I've decided to help my nerves and I rarely accept orders any more but from friends, apart from SC.

Common Sense

Pricing items on a cm is only common sense. All it needs is a look at the Market Explorer, then you pitch your items as little as 1g below the cheapest if you want to sell 'em. Too high - nobody buys (usually players who do this are showing off, since a zero priced item can't be bought). Too low and it will be snapped up and even re-sold at nearer the going rate. You can't whine about this - it's a fact of commercial life. Guild cms are a different matter, since they are they there for their guild. Personal cms are for personal profit, not to assist poorer players. Even so, on many occasions I have undersold items when the buyer has approached me and asked for a price reduction. It pays in the long run to be flexible.
