I know. What I want, is a very GENERAL opinion on what is a fair price to pay for an AS to craft you a suit of BH armor, w/ you of course, providing the schems, and they only doing the crafting(which doesnt require any rare resources from what I've read on the AS forums). Whatever the price I'm told, I'm more than likely going to pay more just because I'm not some cheapscate or anything, but just wanted to get an idea of what the 'average' price might be.
I love the bit in red 
right back at you then, what would you consider a fair price for my time, patience while you choose your colours, skills as a smith to ensure no borked crafting on what is after all a single use schematic, the fact that I will be using server best resources on your final combine and will pretty much ensure you get the best resists possible on the server no matter what layer combination you choose? How much should I charge you? Remember in the time it takes me to discuss with you your options, several email exchanges probably, and sit there and craft your armor, eating food and drink to make sureI dont get a failure and waiting for my stomach to empty after crafting 4 pieces so I can craft the other 3 I could have looted several schematics myself with my BH alt , hmm decisions decisions
Oh and by the way my price is similar to darth's above

I should have known some overzealous arse would misconstrue the meaning some of my words. My thread was simply asking how much ASs might think is a reasonable fee for crafting BH armor, not implying anything demeaning. If you got that impression, then I'm sory, but you dont know what I meant, I do, so that simply means your wrong if you say I meant something I didnt.

Personally, If someone came to me and asked me to craft them a full set (with them providing just the schematic), I think I'd charge between 500K and 1M, depending on the customer and how busy I am.
If they brought with them a bunch of looted Assault Cores, then I'd say 100K at the most.
Hmm this is worrying. I want to get just a Helm made on Ahazi and I was quoted 1M. I'm supplying the schem, 10 stack +10 Kimos and a Peko. Think I might have to shop around a bit.

1M is waaay overcharging IMO.
I would understand 1M for a whole set, but for just the helm...

Agreed, 1M sounds alot. However, you are asking for health enhanced armor, so even though you are supplying the kimo scales and feather that does require the smith to make the cores from scratch rather than use some pre prepared ones and that will involve several minor factory runs to get 2 identical +30 cores for your armor, make the feathered enhancement with the feather and do the final combine. Consequently it will come down to how much the smith values his/her time. I would probably charge around 300-400K for that job.
