Enchanted Item Gold Value Mystery

I'm trying to solve the mystery of calculating the gold value for player enchanted items. This was figured out for weapons, but that formula doesn't work for non weapons. My findings so far..:

• The maximum skill level to effect an enchanted item's gold value is capped at 100.
• The lower the skill level, the higher the enchanted item's gold value will be.
• Perks have no effect on the gold value.

The chart below uses an unenchanted helmet, with its base gold value in the first column. The value in the third column is the value when it's enchanted. The enchantment is Fortify Alteration. The bold value is the default skill level.

Base Value	Skill Level	Modified Cost
440	0	1277
-	1	1202
-	10	1041
-	15	987
-	20	943
-	30	867
-	40	804
-	50	748
-	60	698
-	70	651
-	80	608
-	90	568
-	99	533
-	100	529

Judging by the difference from value at Skill 0 and Skill 15, the initial value the gold value decays from is 290.
