Hi everyone! In days of old, when I lived on SMP8, I ran a little ore shop. I was inactive for a while, my res was claimed in that time, and now that I'm back, I'm looking to start it again. I'm considering adding obsidian to it-- sure, it's not an ore, but it fits the theme well enough. I can't seem to find a going rate on it, though. Thoughts?
I just took a look at a 2 auctions I had over the summer for obsidian. One of the auctions was for 3 DC's of obsidian, it averaged 72r per obsidian, or 250k for the 3dc's The second auction was for 2 DC's of obsidian, it averaged 52r per obsidian, or 180k for the 2 dc's Prices could be different compared to then, if not as many people are gathering obsidian, but that should help give you a rough estimate. Keep in mind these are for auctions too, in bulk. Selling exclusively by store in-game might yield different results.
That's a great start! I was thinking 50r per block sounded like a fair middle ground, but maybe it would accommodate a range better. Something like 30, 50, 70, and 90r depending on stock level? I could set up a hopper system to make that happen.
