Hail and well-met,
I have recently procure a home and have yet found a large store of ore and metals. I am fairly new to the realm and would like to pose this question to those well traveled merchants and metal smiths of the realm...what is the value I should set forth for each.
What is a good value for:
Coal
Tin
Copper
Bronze
Gold
Iron
Steel
greensteel
mithril
Is there a fair market value out there listed for each and every smiting resource that I have not happen upon.
also looking to sell metal in bulk

Re: Ore and metal costs, a question to the smiths and merchants
Prices tend to be widely variable, depending on supply and demand in any given settlement/location. I would recommend looking at the quartermasters of each settlement (who buy and sell many ores) as well as in player-run shops to get a sense of how much things cost. If you don't find *any* supply for a particular item you want to sell, then congrats! You get to set an exorbitantly high price and make a killing because no one else is competing with you to sell that resource.

Fair market value is whatever you will pay for it.

let me just tell you right now coal is the most valuable resource in the game. *sagenods*

To give a non-joke answer, Arelith doesn't have any OOC resources where you can find out things like item pricing, or to facilitate the purchase or sale of items. All of that needs to be handled in game, talk to fellow merchants and ask what they think is a reasonable price, look around in stores, check with adventurers. It's a process but it's all happening in-game.
