Yep, not really bothered about the lost money as I have no use for it
on that server (other than buying accountwide pets and suchlike... of
which there is not a high supply anyway). More just curious if I'll
ever get it on my main tailor, given I'm just a little unwilling to
spend 70k on it lol :-)

Heh true enough. On Alliance side, my rogue is a leatherworker and so
I check for recipes there... 90% of recipes listed are listed by the
same person, at prices which I think are excessively high -
admittedly, supply on alliance is very low, due to low pop... but
equally, so is demand, so it's daft keeping everything up at high
prices forever, I bet that guy never actually sells anything.
