Well, I preferred to wait to get my asking price rather than haggle down. Took some time to sell, but I always managed. I can afford to wait it out, because silk is mostly a seller's market - very few people bother making it in large quantities, and buying your robe one thread at a time is very tedious.
And making 4 cloth is still more work than mining ~10 smelters of silver ore, so there's a decent premium for exclusivity of silver. For 4 cloth you need to pick 800 leaves, which takes an assload of time, is boring, and gives zero LP. Add at least another 400 leaves for the base stock, because you need to let 1/3 of your cocoons hatch for a stable population.
