Maybe it's just on my server but do any of you other enchanters have trouble getting people to pay what an enchant is actually worth?
I use a couple of sources to determine how much to charge. The first is http://www.crimson-eagles.org/enchants.php?text=1&new_markup= where they were nice enough to break down the base price for every enchant. The second is how much the component(s) for a specific enchant runs in my AH.
For example the shard for +5 damage to 2-hand weapons costs 5g on average at the AH and the base price for the enchant listed on the aforementioned site is something like 4.5g. So I tried charging 6g for the enchant and most people just laughed like I was really trying to ream them...I mean it's only a 1g profit. Are we not supposed to make a profit? Even if you get the components through disenchants it is still costing you money since you could've sold that item instead of blowing it up for the component. I guess maybe we're just supposed to take a bath on enchants and pay people for the privelege of enchanting their items. It doesn't help that there are some enchanters out there that will slit their throats to sell enchants. That same +5 enchant I was trying to sell for 6g was allegedly being sold for 3g by another enchanter. That being said there are some reasonable people who will pay what an enchant is worth but there are far more that expect me to slash my prices in half for their sole benefit.
