This is rediculous, but diamonds are one of the few items with a valid reason to be marked up rediculously. Why? You're paying someone for effort, I know I have better things to do that get diamonds, so if I was selling them, I would definately want it to be worth my time, and with the prices of things in shops now, and the addition of learned "recipe books" not everyone can just farm sapphires for cash anymore.

I know I personally have yet to recover since my house fell down from inactivity, and I haven't even gotten the recipe books for all the recipes I use to know and use. So a diamond going for 500 is a great thing by me, 500 will get me a recipe book. :P
