So…Im working on a jewelcrafting mounts.
Pantheras.
What i noticed is extra low price on em on AH.
Like,5k profit.
Considering how long it takes to be able to make em,its not right.
They are awesome and i surely do belive new player with gold would buy.
Whats the point of going thru it all for only 5 k profit when it sells?
Supply and Demand… There are people out there who have hundreds of them lying in their bank ALTs from back when they were still valuable.
Same with the Garn Mount. You’d used to see entire raid form and paying thousands of gold to get the mount. Now it’s on AH for like 200g.

:o So much gold.To be honest,i would Happy to sell a few now and then so i have enough for my proffesions.
The people that were going to pay top dollar did so 10 years ago. You can only sell a mount once, then people have it so there is a limited market.
If 5k profit isn’t enough for you then the answer is “there is no point” and spend your time on something that gives a better return.

I understand your point.But for new people its still new beatifull mount.I dont understand the low price cause the way they look it should bee more.
Another point is that you’re on a rp realm and it’s the sort of thing a lot of the people there might have made/bought back when they were first added to the game as they were part of the rp of that time.
^^ This pretty much
When it’s a new mount the prices are much higher as is demand. Now it’s an old mount from an old expansion, most have already bought and supply is generally plentiful. Many crafters can make them.
The only older things that tend to hold value is if they are rare.
Crafting professions in general are very expensive to get into but they make more money per unit time or effort than gathering. If you want to make good money with things like Jewelcrafting, Engineering, or Enchanting, it kind of assumes you have enough money to get the best profession gear, points, whatever consumables you need, and the ability to bulk buy materials
Like maybe you “just” make a couple gold profit per craft, but if you can spend 1 million gold and craft for 30 minutes and make 100k profit, that beats any farm or gathering

When the mounts were current content they were duped to all hell so they were never great money makers for the mats.
Now most players have them so they arn’t gonna sell well at all.
It might be worth running Horrific Visions this week to get the Jewelcrafting pattern for the new one, that might make some money on Crafting Orders.
5k profit was more significant when it was current.
But they look so good.To new player its new…
Doesn’t change how the economy works.
The thing is that you do not decide what the price should be, crafters and buyers do. The current price is what the two groups have agreed on through sales.
With the exception of early expansion. 
That does make sense…
while other points have been covered by other people in this thread .there is also the fact that not many new players are coming to the game .at most its people who have played the game before .
