There are many items in Gurps Magic whose extremely high energy costs are the barrier that keeps them from being common. Reducing _all_ enchantment costs by a factor of 100x removes those barriers.

I think you actually need to chose some other rules change.

Stable is not an absolute term in economics, I'm entirely aware of that. I simply do not agree with the position you seem to be advocating, that the supply must inevitably grow, and very quickly, to fully satisfy the demand and thus crash the price, without regard for such factors as labour cost. And as I put forth earlier, the cost of many items, though less high than before, is still very high for many of them, if not most, so they won't be common, merely less rare.
