Would be nice to have an alternate buyer though, like the Mages' Collective
(i mean this IS a valuable resource, there's gotta be others willing to buy some through illegal means, even if the pay might be less)

Hah, just discovered this the hard way. Goodbye 40 gold!

My experiences:
Side with Circle: Godwin is near his closet when I'm doing the Precious Metals quest.
Side with Templars: Godwin is nowhere to be seen. Precious Metals quest can only be completed by selling the lyrium to a vendor for a loss of about 30g (assuming I bartered the original cost down from 50g to 40g).
The game does have a few inconsistencies in this area:
Siding with the Circle: no mention of what happens to the blood mage I spare. Does she escape? I hope so.
Siding with the Templars: everyone disappears. children gone, Tranquil gone, blood mage I spared is gone, and Godwin is presumably killed (though not by my hand and I'm the one who cleaned out the tower dangit).
So yeah, the only way to complete the Precious Metals quest when siding with Templar is to eat 30g in the shorts and sell the lyrium to a vendor. Way to go Bioware.

Part of the appeal of the game for some of us is that our actions and decisions have consequences later on.
If you kill the mages you shrink the demand for illicit lyrium.

That would hold water if there wasn't the Mages' Collective, who I suspect would love to get hold of that lyrium. Alas, the developers didn't think it through beyond Godwin.mousestalker wrote...

edit: I love consequences too, but I don't like NPCs disappearing without a trace and no information as to why that happened, outside of guesses. Godwin hid from demons but couldn't hide from templars? Silly.

I, too, had problems with this NPC, but of a different sorts.
I understand that when I call for the right of anullment that all mages are to die, and that I'm going to lose out on my buyer. Omlet, eggs, etc. But sheese, I found the dude hiding in a closet AND HAD NO OPTION TO TREAT HIM RUDELY let alone kill him. Seriously, I can call Morrigan a crazy b*&ch but I can't be rude to a circle mage hiding in a closet during the right of anullment? He's a perfect sitting duck, why can't I say "Morrigan, big wooden thing, fireball, now!" It makes no sense.
At least let me rough him up a bit, he deserves at least as much.
