Thank you to whomever it was who was selling silks at a reasonable price last night! I bought 100 silk swatches for 5 pp each last night! Right now on my server, they are sitting at the regular price of 20 to 25 pp for a silk swatch, 10 to 20 for a piece of spider silk.

I usually just go and pharm my own, but this was like Chiristmas for the little haffer who is trying to skill up for haffer bags

Heh. Silk swatches sit in someone's trader inventory for 20 - 25 pp. Most of the time they have to cost much less to actually sell. I have a list of tradeskill items I look for regulary in the Bazaar. On average, I get two or three items at a low price (out of about 25 things I look for) each time I check. For example, I buy excellent sabertooth tiger hides for 20 pp when the bulk of traders are selling them for 100, small pieces of velium for 5 pp when most sell for 20+.

It pays to shop around and have patience. Impulse shopping for stuff that you 'gotta have right now' can cost a fortune.

I have been saving up silks for myself and my hubby...and watching the prices go up and up... shawls are sooo much fun ... There are people who have in the hundreds of them for 20 to 25, and there are always new people trying to cash in as well it seems. Even spiderling silk is up at 15 pp a pop these days... (ack)

I have taken to checking silks every time I log my trader in ..even tho I am not acutally even doing the combines at the moment...they will sit in the bank till I can

I have to wonder if people actually buy them for that. I know I sure as heck won't.

Spider silk prices are insane. I pay friends 50pp a stack to farm spider silk for me (100pp for swatch stacks) when I need them. Then I know the money goes to someone I'd rather help anyways. Not one has complained that they could sell for a higher price in the Bazaar...because most of the higher priced folks just sit there and don't sell.

By the same token, pelt prices are nuts. I've seen LQ pelts for 20pp+ each. Ahh, the good old days in EC where I could pay 10pp a stack for LQ and have younguns lined up for miles to sell to me Needless to say, I hire out the same friends or pelt farm myself.
