From a merchant standpoint, $10 or less is not always feasable..... For instance, I work on a peice for a week, sometimes 2..sometimes a lot longer....Virtual items require the same kinds of steps in creation as real world items.. Design, modeling (hardest part), texturing (a pain as well) and for some things we have to get it to bend and move along with a character, which can sometimes be a pain.. Once we've done that and are figuring our price, we also have to keep in mind the brokering fees for having our stuff available here... So I think that most of the pricing in mp seems reasonable...but if ya can't afford it, do what I do and save up for something :)
