I was level 18.3 Goldsmith & made this on Darksday during Full Moon. Has anyone done this at any lower level, I've always wondered what its level was? As I bought this 2 months ago for cheap, I was wondering what it was worth & how rare this really is. On Carbuncle these went from almost impossible to find for sale, always at 30k - - to 25-30 for sale at one time for 30k each. I don't get it.
I just HQ'd 4 scarlet stone synths (wind crystal, scarlet stone) and only ended up with Rhodonite each time. HQ of this gem seems impossible (barring the fact that no apparant +1 version has surfaced on the AH, I wanted to prove it to myself)
oh yeah, Goldsmithing is at 50 and I have only failed 1 in about 20 synths of these.

How is anyone taking advantage of anyone else? If you don't like the price on something then don't buy it. It's simple supply and demand. If there is demand to have them item and someone else controls the supply the price increases. If the demand decreases the price should decrease. So if this item is a fairly easy drop off a monster you and 3000 other people will be running around the new areas when it is released and the supply will overwhelm the demand causing the price to come down. On the other hand I doubt you will price it well below their prices as you want to make as much money as possible off your time.
Take moat carp for example, they sell for 4k/stack on Shiva. I've been buying them lately in San d'Oria and Windurst. Several people feel the need to sell their stacks above the 4k tag that is the entire history. I refuse to pay it. I'll buy every stack for sale at 4k and leave the rest. Do they sell? Maybe, but not to me. This one is a good example as it has very high supply and demand but the price stays about the same. It would seem people are unwilling to pay more than 4k for a stack of moat carp. The stacks for sale that are set higher can set there for a few days until someone gets desperate and pays more or they are returned.
I went a little off topic but the gist of what I was saying is, "If you don't like the price don't buy the product."
Just a guess, but I think this is crafted from a Scarlet Stone. All the prices for this in AH are 500k and the names of it's sellers match up to the buyer/seller of the Scarlet Stone. They all sold to themselves for 10, 20, 30 gil, etc... There were still a few in AH and I couldn't get one for even 15k, the most I'd pay for it at the moment. I guess I'll wait until next week when CoP is avilable for everyone and try to find the Gobbiebag V items cheaper.
