I "fixed" the price on Crow Berets. I had thought about it for a couple weeks and then after having my karma punish me while camping an NM, I got fed up and finally did it.
But, you see, I have a good reason, really I do. Crow Berets had been at a steady price of 180k and Raven Berets were steady at 500k. So I decided to make a batch and ended up with 6 NQ and 1 HQ plus I had an NQ floating around in my MH that I was gonna sell. Total worth = 1760k I'm not stupid so I wasn't gonna post them all at once. Unfortunately, two other crafters had the same idea I did... Only these idiots posted everything they were making and were underbidding by 15k-20k at a time. Most often they were underbidding themselves.
Now, if you get the materials at decent prices then its about 70k per synth, roughly. But in a week's time these two idiot "crafters" had driven the price on Crow Berets to 50k and Raven Beretes were down to 380k. Needless to say none of mine sold and I had decided to hold onto them and see if the market would fix itself when the idiots moved on to destroy another item. New total worth = 730k
Over two weeks later and the prices are exactly where the idiots left them with no sign of recovering. Now there was never really a whole lot of Berets on the AH at one time before the idiots, but now its pretty empty. Its a waste to craft them and the only time one is on the AH is when someone is selling theirs back, go figure.
So what I did two nights ago was post my NQ's on the AH and then buy them back at 120k. Wash, rinse, repeat, no price history, only 120k. I opted not to go for 180k again since even I felt it slightly overpriced before.
And with the recent exception, my manipulations seems to have worked. I've sold 2 so far at 120k. The recent exception: Two new idiots - Calintz and Sui, underbidding by 20k like their moron predecesors before them, even after I so obviously took the time to "fix" what had become a losing synth. I mean, what is it with these people!? How can they be so stupid? Its not like there are a lot on the AH, theirs will sell if they give it the time. 
So I did a quick search and found Sui online but AFK and his comment identifying him as JP. So I did this (Crow Beret) =120k ~ 95k=BAKA!!! Maybe it was uncalled for, but I'm fed up with these idiot crafters that are ruining good synths. My guess would be that they were probably gil buyers and were used to just having gil when they wanted it and now they have to do it *on their own*.
And in case you're wonder about the bad karma that slapped me in the face. I was camping Mee Deggi for O. Kote and when it was about time for him to pop everyone hit flee to get ready. He didn't pop though, so a little while later I'm thinking that if I hit flee I bet everyone else would too... So I did, and sure enough everyone follows, it was kind of funny, lol. What wasn't funny was that Mee Deggi really did pop just after everyone finished hitting flee for what was supposed to be a joke. >,<
keep me posted I'm interested how this turns out
