Cash profit omits time
Subtract crafter-provided materials and expected recraft reserve from commission. The remaining cash profit measures the monetary balance, but not the full cost of the work.
At a target of 8,000 gold/hour, six minutes carry an 800 gold opportunity cost. That belongs in the economic floor even though it never leaves the bags directly.
Minimum commission anchors the negotiation
The baseline inputs produce a 1,430 gold floor. Commission comfortably above it creates positive margin of safety. A value near the floor is vulnerable to extra messaging, a recraft or a material mistake.
This is not a universal profession price list. A different target GPH, service speed or reserve produces a different floor.
Batch orders still need accounting
Five identical orders can look like 12,500 gold of revenue. Batch economic profit scales both earnings and the hidden cost of time.
Enter actual minutes, materials and recraft expectation. Accept when the order covers full cost, negotiate when the margin is thin, and decline when commission falls below the floor.
