When pricing these items, pay less attention to how much it costs to
make them, and more attention to the following two things. First, it cost us
a LOT of money to get our skills up to where they are, and we should be able
to recuperate the training costs in a timely fashion. Second, price the
items based on what they are worth, NOT what it costs you to make them. When
you put a price on your silver amber rings (+2 str), just think about how
much people are paying for flesh bands that offer the same increase, and not
the fact that it only costs about 3p to make one. If we put too low a price
on these items, remembering that items do not EVER go away, it won't be long
at all before EVERYONE has all they need and we will be left with a
worthless trade skill. Just my 2 coppers...
