Does anyone have one for sale for a reasonable fee?

To me reasonable is 8-10kpp. Im seeing a few people trying to sell them for 30-40kpp. Come on! Thats fucking highway robbery. I honestly do not mind paying you for your time in attaining your Uber Grandmaster Tailoring Status, but there aint no way Im paying 11-40kpp for this cloak.

So if anyone has a 'reasonable' deal on a Velium Mastodon Fur Cloak or has Velium Mastodon Fur's for sale (looking for 4-8 of them)please let me know. Im more then happy to pay you 'reasonable' cash for your time and efforts.

Peace!

PS: OOPS! Sorry, forgot we had a Buy/Sell forums. Please move this.

You should find out what is needed to make this damn cloak. If I wanted to make one to sell I'd either
a) spend a *full* annoying as hell day in WW farming furs (thats how long it took me to get the furs for my own and i did the quest rather early...no idea how much its being farmed now).
b) buy them at 2k each in the bazarr.

Now factor in a 60-70% success rate at max skill.

After making my cloak myself I can say your are a nutcase for thinking 8-10k is a 'reasonable' price. You could make more bottom feeding in seb in the same time it would take to get the furs, with no chance of failure.

If you want a better price then go farm or buy the furs yourself, then you can pay "for your time in attaining your Uber Grandmaster Tailoring Status".

You forgot the cost of the distilled mana (about 525p) and the platinum thread (213p if I recall, over 200 anyway) on top of the furs. So thats 8.75k in materials per attempt at 60% success rate or so. I'm afraid youre looking at 14.6k per cloak just to break even, not even mentioning the cost in goodwill to pursuade the tailor and enchanter required. Its not a cheap quest I'm afraid hon, unless you can hunt the furs yourself.
