Subject: RE: Jewelery


Add 2p to each of those prices. That's what I sell them for, and I don't
have any problems. Just use those prices as a guideline though. If someone
is nice and polite, knock off a little. If they are rude and demanding,
don't budge an inch.

On a related note: Do NOT make any enchanted jewelry unless you have a buyer
for it. People not following that simple guideline are largely responsible
for the plummeting prices. (I.E., Tradesman makes 10 +2 int rings. Sells 2
right off the bat for 8p each. 2 hours later he still has 8 rings. He drops
his price to 7p each. No takers. An hour later, frustrated and just wanting
to unload the things he drops his price to 5p each. Sells 4 of em. Still has
4. Does a special auction at 3p each to free up his inventory slots. Now
EVERYONE expects those +2 int rings to sell for 3p. Get the picture?)

Sorry... kinda ranted a little there...
