Bag Sales (POST Token patch)

[Ambrya]

I haven't seen the backpack market hurting yet. Lemming Fur bags are holding stead around 500, which I think is underpriced considering the cost of the threads and, God forbid if you can't forage, the lemming furs people sell in the bazaar. I have seen Tinkerer bags being sold for 6250p.

My halfling tailor just made her first Leatherfoot Haversacks within the last few days. 210 tailoring plus Geerlok, but 6 for 6 on successes so far. Kept two of them for my main, sold the third for 8K within moments of putting the token on my trader, and sold the fourth and fifth for 9K, again within moments of putting the token on my trader. Number 6 is still on the trader at 10K, and has been for about 8 hours. We shall see if it sells. I am, and have been, the only trader selling Haversacks in the bazaar since the Token feature went live. There have been a couple on the auction channel, but I don't know what the prices are.

I sell out entire stock at 8k same day they go on. I might raise price to 9k on next batch and see how it goes. I am only seller. Plus I buy all furs that come into bazaar to keep it that way as much as possible.

There are at least five different tailors selling haversacks on Xev, with one or two of them often showing up with 15-20 packs at a time, selling them for 5k. So for the most part, 5k is the price, since the other two or three of us who only have a few bags don't want to wait a week for a chance to sell them (and that would be assuming that the larger sellers don't restock).

For the past few days I've been the only person selling them, and put my price back to 5500, but I'm sure more will show up soon. When you have a lot of tailors producing a lot of bags, the market gets flooded pretty easily.

Average Haversack price on CT right now seems to be around 7500, though some will still sell as low as 5500. Been pricing mine at 6500 for the past few days and they seem to move, but slowly.

I was happy selling them at 5k - 5500 for the longest time, but then the market on Blue Diamonds started to rise and I eventually had to increase prices accordingly. I'm hoping I can work that price back down some, all depends on the Blue Diamonds.

Haversacks have been selling steadily at 6250, then Tufts went up to 150, so my bags went up to 7500, then went back down to 6500 when tufts dropped back to about where they were before. Now BD's are hard to find, so I'm raising prices back up to 6750 until I can locate a big source of BD's for the tempers.

Also, I used to sell the Lemming fur bags for around 600 until someone started selling like 20 for 400p each. Lemming furs cost 100p each in bazaar, so that's no profit at all unless you forage them all yourself.

[Kytelae]

I won't buy tufts at more than 50pp each, roughly, and yes, BDs are becoming more scare on Xev already. I have no idea how this will all work out, but if I can't make a reasonable profit, I'll go do something else. And I can't make a profit with tufts at 100-150 each or BDs at 1k. When it reaches that point, I'll forage or farm my own.

[borblefoot furtoe]

I sell mine for 5.5 to 6K depending on how fast I want to move em.

I vendor buy all of My BD's. They only time i have problems is right after patches when their inventories get cleared out.

I sold a single lemming fur backpack at 400 pre-realization... now I try to forage my own furs, or grab it from family/friends coming out of EF. Guild I charge 230 for time/materials.

I sold twenty hand-made backpacks at 45pp each and sold out within two hours; the other prices posted were 75 and 90pp.

See what you get when you pay less than 3 gold for a bear skin?

[Jaasper]

I have been selling my Haversacks at 5000 each and they sell out within hours. I know the people that buy em are usually dealers that resell them for more.. So I guess I could sell for more but I see no point. At 5K I make enough profit to satisfy (my bank account dinged 600K yesterday). Not bad at all considering the only reason I even started tailoring was to get the Signet of Might (which I now have).

[Zimbokhan]

when bd cost 400 and tufts cost 75 to 100 and acorns are 50 to 100 added to the approx. 600 cost for threads....

consider some failures at all stages...

I have almost 4600 investment without taking into account any failures....I would not sell at 5k. I would just exp instead of make tailored bags.
