Merchants: Merchant Prices for enchanted jewelry

[Supaskillz]

The prices merchants pay for enchanted jewelry changed sometime in the past 18 months. I am not entirely when it happened, but the new prices are definitely wrong. Merchants are currently paying less for enchanted jewel craft items than the cost of the mats.

Some evidence that enchanted items are worth more to merchants than the cost of the mats.

You can usually sell magic jewelry for a very small profit.

Merchants will pay you roughly what the components cost when you successfully make an item, assuming decent faction and good charisma (above 100). So you lose nothing on a success sold to a merchant. Failure destroys the gem and the metal bar. Merchants pay a little extra for enchanted items, but not enough to justify enchanting bars for items you will sell to the merchants.
