If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...the A(nimist)-Team
Cue music for full effect.
Thanks to Tuthmes for the link.

If you check the following thread, you will see that my price is lower than most for non guild members' prices:-
http://www.prydwen.net/showthread.php?t=5704
If you read the thread picking out the prices that Spellcrafters charge per overcharged item, this is what you'll find (assuming no-one edits their posts in attempt to do a "cover up"):
Awarkle, 350g
Kexex, 300-500g (250g for guild members)
Grymligast, 300-500g
Scabs, 300-500g
Cromcruaich, 250-500g
Darim, 400-500g
Dotster 400g+
Volty^Shifty, 750g
(Note: I don't mention names to "shame" anyone, for want a better word, but merely so that you can check that I have quoted correctly)
If you average out the above prices (350+400+400+400+375+450+400+750/eight), you get 440g 62s per o/c item... 120g more than what I would charge.
I'm not saying you can't get it done more cheaply, but going by the average for a 4-gem o/c item I am less expensive.
Also, I charge PER GEM, which is fairer in my opinion, because some customers may only require 2 or 3 gems imbuing into an item, so why should they pay the same price as someone requiring 4 gems?
And from the feedback from my customers they say I am good value and have even given generous monetary tips.

Just made a observation with that previous post
It's ok Q, I wasn't trying to make a point to ping-pong the ball back to you. I originally set my charge at materials +20%, but was informed by some crafters that that was far too low. So, that's when I decided to start a thread and ask for advice. The feedback I got is what I went by to determine what I should charge. I didn't want to charge too much or too little, but a fair price. 80g per overcharged gem on high-level armour and weapons is the figure I arrived at from my research. If I ever thought that my prices were too expensive then I would most certainly revise them.
To be entirely fair, I normally give a 1-2 plat tip, depending on how much money I got.Quinlan wrote:Hmm checking the advertisment shows you are expensive. I normally get a full item sc-ed for 250G...would be 320 with you..
I find it silly to justify for myselves I spend 20 plat on a book of scrolls/arti only to give the SC'er, who spend an hour so to do my set, 1 plat.
But that's just me :<
