This spike though is huge. I am now selling some of my stock at 10.5 g per, while paying 13 g per stack of saronite. This pricing will only go up, as at 10.5 g per, I was undercutting by 1.5 g, just to see if this realy is a new median price. This is likey worth checking out for anyone doing the saronite shuffle, for me, it is keeping me from making any more Skyflares for a few days, if the pricing is this good.

I have been selling chalcedony on my server for 9-12g pretty consistently over the last two months. One day this week, during my daily AH scan, I saw they were listed for 50g+! I thought it was impossible, but I went ahead and listed five at 47g50s and four of them sold. I was dumb-founded.

Find out which gems are needed that day for the daily? Maybe it spikes on that day?

The price something was at a point in the past is irrelevant. If the price of leather changed, so did the value of the stuff in your bank. If you bought it very cheap, and it went up in price, then your wealth increased (assuming a vehicle to liquidate exists.) At any given point, the profitability of any given conversion is based on the value of the items in question at that singular point, and no other, barring speculation for future change.

Basically, if it's no longer profitable because the price of leather has gone up, then just selling the leather you have will provide the greater return.
