How rare are motifs and what do they usually sell for?

    On NA PC I usually see Blue Motifs at 250-400 and the Imperial motif at 60,000

    Console is pretty close.

    The base racial Motif's (Blue) go for around 1k-2k.
    Daedric, Ancient Elf, Dwemer, etc (Purple) for anywhere from 10k-20k.
    The big leap is for Imperial (currently the only Gold Motif) at 60k-100k on the One NA server.

    In fact, just to test the limits (weakness?) of the console economy, I put up two separate Dwemer pages for 2k apiece. I figured it would be awhile (if at all) before they sold at that price.

    I sold both pages in under an hour...

    However; as more and more people rise in level and start either finding the Motifs in loot or buying them from the Crown Store, i have also noticed a comparative drop in prices over time in the market as well.

    Simply put, more players are coming upon these items naturally in the game, therefore they're finding it more and more absurd to have to pay these hugely inflated prices.

    It's the natural movement in the digital markets. It happens in every MMO that has a similar marketplace structure.

    Wow, that's a huge drop compared to what they were when I last checked on Monday afternoon.

    Daedric/Ancient Elf were going to 60k or higher, while Imperial was going for 110k +/-, on that day.

    I may just go ahead and by the remaining 4 dwemer chapters I need and a couple Daedric motifs for some guild mates if those prices are sticking.

    Well, it really depends on where you shop as well.

    Some Guild Traders actually work to undercut other traders. The prices I quoted are an average.

    I have seen the full Daedric Motif listed as high as 200k. I laughed then said "hell no".

    In fact; one of my favorite places to shop is in Wayrest. There's a Guild Trader there who represents Walmart (yes, I'm serious. there's an actual Walmart trading guild...), and they have prices that are much lower than anywhere else I've found. They were the merchants where I found a stack of 20 Daedra Hearts for only 18k.

    I couldn't argue with that price. :)

    I haven't found a single blue motif anymore since they were added to the Crown Store, however I found a few purple ones.
    I've noticed that the purple motifs are now much cheaper at a guild kiosk than they used to be some months ago (also purple recipes dropped their price a lot!), the blue ones seem to be the same price.

    I can't afford much of anything in the guilds... then again I am just WAY to frugal and have no friends, I craft everything I use myself and if I find something rare I hold onto it for when I do have an opportunity to either sell to others or use it. now I have one that is 100% useless and one that I really have to work for.

    I've actually seen them and have found their prices to be very...low and affordable. I'll have to check them out tonight. I need more hearts and the rest of those motifs!

    Agreed.

    If fact, they're so reasonable (not absurdly high like everywhere else...) that they've becme my favorite place to shop when I just cannot find something in the loot table rolls.

    Hell, they were even selling Perfect Roe for around 2-6k apiece. As rare as it is right now, that's a freaking steal.

    I got kicked from a guild for having the audacity to only charge 50k for perfect roe.

He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
