On my server (Magtheridon) the market has virtually collapsed for leather. The demand is low and the supply is high, anyone with a brain (or if they don't have a brain and have taken basic economics) can tell that that's bad for suppliers. With my skinning at 230 it hits me pretty hard. I dropped LW long ago because of high leather prices...now I'm regretting dropping it for my now 85 mining skill. Im 36 and only have 30g. I could borrow what I need since all my friends are 40+ and have money, but I would like to buy my own mount to compensate for my lack of leveling skills :P I put up 7 stacks of heavy leather and 10 stacks of med leather up at AH (heavy was 30s buyout, 5 below average price. med was 17s buyout, 3s below average price.) It all came back the next day. I promptley vendored it, made my measly profit and have been vendoring leather ever since. If my server is the only place where the market has died, then I apologize for my lengthy post. if it's not, then I still apologize for my lengthy post. :P
