Subject: Re: Question about aqualung ...


Here's what I do for aqualungs, and people do buy
them. I advertise them for 750 plat. I tell them
that when they run out of charges, I will buy them
back for 200 plat. That's 550 plat total. Ok, you
get 50 charges from each, so that's 11 plat per
charge. With my charisma at shaman vendors, my
minnimum purchase price for Fish Gill Extract is near
13 plat. So I tell them why buy the potions that
don't stack when you can buy the lung instead. 50
charges, use it just like jboots, and only takes up
one inv slot.

Anyway, that's my theory. Jewelers charge 3x to 4x
cost for their products, I'm not even charging 2x for
mine. Success rate is exactly 50% for me at skill
102.
