I made this spreadsheet that calculates the maximum item price in GP for the number of days of crafting for any given DC, assuming Take 10 check is used. It's useful for quickly screening which items that can be crafted within a given timeframe based on Craft skill. To use it, you just enter their current skill + tool bonus in the Craft box, find the desired DC, then look up the maximum GP purchase price to determine the number of days of crafting required.
For example, a character is on a ship voyage for 5 days. The character has a skill + tool bonus of 6, yielding a Take 10 Crafting check of 16. For a crafting DC of 15, an item can at most have a purchase price of 17.1 GP an still be crafted within 5 days with no failure chance. Then just search the various item lists for those with a Crafting DC of 15 and prices within 17.1 GP.
To use it, make a copy or download it.
