Architect Archive

I've been an architect on Shadowfire for almost a year now, and my harvester prices have changed over that time. Prices vary by planet, and even by city on a planet. I tend to think like a merchant when it comes to price-setting. I set them at a level, and watch how they sell. If they fly off the shelves, or can't sell a thing, I adjust accordingly. Resources needed to make an item is only one part to the equation.

I also have what I call my "vendor price". I keep my vendors on all planets as stocked as I can. If people want something, and they want it now, they purchase. If they want to put in an order, then I discount, usually up to 25% depending on the item.

My business isstrong not just because of pricing, but service as well. I produce high-quality harvesters, and quick responses to orders. A happy customer will pay more and come back for repeat business if you treat them well.

Oh yes and btw on Kettemoor, grind materials pricing is 2 cpu, though there are a number of people who offer 1 cpu or less. I found like 45k of hide for 2.5 cpu the other day.
