He wants 36k up front because your friend approached him to make the fucking armor. It's not difficult to figure this out.

I charged for my alchemy services up front. Do you know how many times I got an order for potions, went to Halas to make them and then was told the pots were no longer needed?

There's some shitty people on this server, people who don't understand that tradeskills are a time-consuming, expensive service. You're apparently one of them.

Edit: and just because I kinda feel like a dick about this post, I went to ahungry and price-checked that armor. It's between 5-7k per visual piece, not including the BP. On the low end, a full visible set minus BP would be 30k @ 5k a piece if you bought them separately.

36k = fair. Coming to the boards and ranting up a storm about someone who was straight shooting with you about making all this crap = horseshit.
