Fire opals for sale!
« on: June 09, 2005, 07:59:00 pm »
I currently have 60 uncut fire opals for sale.  I am selling at 120 gold pieces a mineral or best offer.  You will also get a discount if you buy a lot.  I also have a assortment of other gems for sale which include... Alexendrite, Sapphire, Garnet, and Topaz.   These other minerals are not in great numbers but please contact me anyway if you wish to purchase them.

    //120 gold for a fire opal. it takes 2 fire opals and a silver nugget to make a ring that gives +2 reflex save. So..the price of the ring is what? 400 gold. Im sorry but in my book that price is more than cheap. it will ultimetely result in people buying rings and jewlry for pennies. Has happened before. And it was'nt pretty, one result was mushrom powder for 450 gold. Just saying, careful about the prices, the lens is there as a guide, would be a shame not to use it. ((yes i know its not entirely accurate, but 120 gold...the lens says 3000, for a cut stone))

    //Ah alright... I just thought that that was REALLY high for a fire opal and decided to lower it.  I will change the price next time.  Thank you for informing me!

    //in the gem price guide I put together (still needs tweaking)  I said mineral fire opals should be worth around 1200.  that number is of course flexible, but somewhere around it should work.

    I agree that 120 is too low for fire opals, but 1200 is way too high a price...maybe around 500 would be fair.

    Fire opals are high end crafting items. The price should reflect that, it takes quite the fighter or a seasoned wizard to even get to these opals. were talking about 30+ giants you need to chew your way through. Well thats my opinion. As a side note i used to pay 2000 for a saphire. That might sound expensive, but considering the price an end item will be sold for. Its a fair price. Again my opinion. eople are buying emerald at 80k+, diamonds for 5-8k maybe or more. I think 2500 for a fire opal is fair.

    In making my prices for the mineral gems, I took into account how hard it is to obtain the gems, and how valuable their various end products are.  The guide, when finished and tweaked, will replace the current lens prices on gems so if anyone has any input... we should probably make a new thread about it since its rather off topic here and the old one is really long.

    The priceguide i was working on can be found here, on the first page of the thread:

    http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=9296&posts=32

    The prices for cut and fine stones are based on a formula of the mineral price (which needs to be tweaked a bit I think) and enchanted prices... um ignore that column for now.

    Ring and amulet prices are not close to being finalized and some of the prices in this document are made in anticipation of some changes i suggested so, Ignore them too for now.

    The fire opal is priced where it is because if it went much higher it would be "worth" more than many of its products.
