I log a char into Atlantic and check what they are selling things for and I undercut them a little with my pricing.

I sell my invulnerability refinements for 10,000 each. I keep the smaller ones and combine.

Even so, they sell slowly.

Pricing is really hard on LA, but Maldar and I do the same things. I also use my selling experience to try to find a stable price on LA. For instance, when I forgot to compare prices with other repair scroll vendors, I found I was 25gps over the price everyone else was using, and no one bought mine (of course)! I used to use a true business model for selling, (my own production cost plus a reasonable profit markup) but reality doesn't seem to work well. You are either WAY UNDER what others sell for, or asking too much because the time involved can be great in some of these things! SO, don't forget not only to check Altantic for good comparisons, but run around and get a feel for what other LA players are doing so that you know where you stand! I wish you well!

Just a heads up, for pvpers using refinements cures of defense and protection (lower two) are actually the most popular. It's not unheard of for them to sell for 25 to 100k if they are studded, hide, or bone. Hope this helps.
