Then i lower it to my benchmark of 5-10g based on how much hassle it was to meet up and get the enchant.

I guess I may have been too cheap on that last; I know I tipped 10g for my +30 Int buff on Osprey's weapon. Karthis, I think that’s a good benchmark.

Some more than others, but ain't none of them cheap. Plus, a lot of good recipes had to be purchased on the AH (or, if the crafter were lucky enough to have it dropped, they chose to keep it instead of selling it. Same difference). So, I oughts to be willing to pay for the value of the service, not just the 5 seconds it takes for them to make me a whatever. Means I probably pay more than most for whatever I'm getting, but I don't mind. I think it's a good to encourage crafters. And if even I knows the proper spelling of "rogue", the rest of them sorry buggers oughtta be ables ta learn it. I fiures it costs a lot just to level a crafting skill to 350+.
