Price of Quality Gems?

on average, what is the price of a quality gem, and for what % quality. is there a system set up to price them yet?

just wondering as i'm trying to sell a 17% quality gem, for 4gcp and people keep telling me i'm crazy.

the way I see it is its takes 17 gcp to get a 17% quality from scratch, so 4 is a bargain. am I wrong?
Normally it would be a GCP per 5% but that also depends on how popular the skill gem is.

It depends on the gem itself.

If it's something extremely unpopular like discharge, you probably will have trouble getting more than 2 gcps for a 17%.

4 gcps for a 17% quality is fine for the majority of the gems though.

how much does a GCP actually raise a gem by, 1?
depends on the gem, but I think its 2% on average. Higher level gems maybe 1, low end gems might be as high as 5. At least thats what gear and flasks do....I've never actually used a GCP on a gem. You can trade a GCP for more quality than they give usually.

Some gems, like auras, have completely terrible quality bonuses; 20% extra aura radius is very unimportant.

GCP's only raise quality by 1 regardless of gem IIRC.

ok. Ty for that clarity. I never used one, and didnt plan on it. I'd rather buy a 5% gem than to use 5 GCP to make one.

I have an 18% quality ice shot laying around, but no one has seemed very interested in it. Do you guys have any recommendations on what I should try selling it for?
Ice shot as in Ice Spear?

Thats a rather slim market, as most people use Freezing Pulse for its AOE effect.
