"How much is guild hall worth?"
That's a rather existential question.
What is the measure of a man, a droid, or a guild hall? Is it the sum of the experiences? Is it the base cost of the matierials? Or is it something somewhat less quantifiable than this.
Clearly, the first measure of value for the guild hall, or so Descartes would have us believe, is "Does the Guild Hall, in fact, exist?" Can it be traded? Dropped? Will it fill your backpack if it already has fourty nine items in it? We will assume for the sake of argument that the guild hall does exist. But does that neccessitate it possessing the quality of value? According to a quote I just made up and will attribue to Adam Smith "All things that exist have some measure of economic value." It certainly sounds like something he'd say. So, we can infer that IF the guild hall does in fact exist then it DOES have some amount of vaule to someone. Someone, somewhere will be willing to exchange credits earned through labor or guile for said guild hall. These credits represent the amount of work that the community has placed upon the activity needed to earn the credits in the first place. Can these credits as a measure of labor themselves be traded? Clearly the rise of the industrial bourgoise in galactic society indicates a robust and healty exchange of these credit/labor units. These credits could then in turn be exchanged for said guild hall, as long as the two parties, whom we will also assume to exist, can agree upon a fair exchange.
But worth is so much more than a measure of somethings economic potential. There are values beyond these that will determine the mettle of a guild hall. Will it stand steadfast for all time? Or will it collapse in frustration and ruin at the hands of a merciless maintence bug? These things, and more abstract concepts like "Bravery", "Nobility", "Honesty", and "Honor". It can be argued (Anseln, Hume, Idle, et al) that a guild hall is more about these concepts, or "mental or social constructs" if you will, these aggreed upon definitions of norms and exceptions of behavior in our culture, than the more tangable shipwright grade ore that the hall is made of. Is the hall made of sterner stuff, I think we can see that it is. Oh yes, my friends, it is.
Anyway as the joke goes "What do you get when you cross an aesthete with a phenomenologist? An interior daseiner." HA! Philosophy humor. Even the people that get it won't admit it. Regardless of it's lack or non lack of having humor, the guild hall must also be DECORATED properly to have value. How can this be done? You'll need to talk to one of your local interior decorators on your galaxy to begin adding value to your guild hall in this manner. But it is not the trappings of the guild hall that give it value. No, indeed it is amassing a huge stockpile of pre-nerf chef foods the likes of which the galaxy has never seen before, placing them on display, and allowing the other collectors on your server to blink in disbelief at the pile, no, verily, the horde that you have amased. But it is not meerly thought the accquisition of old non craftable items that your hall will gain value.
The question you have to be asking yourself by this point, besides the obvious why am I still reading this, he couldn't have expected anyone to still be reading this, and no, in truth, I did not, is how does natures mairacle the mysterious four sided time cube fit into all of this? Clearly, if you are only looking at four sides of the guild hall, you are evil, ignortant and a slave to the sith academic elite. Apply analytical math to the galactic sphere and discover 2 opposite hemispheres rotating in opposite directions - equal to a ZERO value existence. Tattoine is not an entity, for adding the opposite values cancel each other to no existence. All the universe exist as opposite values. Academic and Jedi taught stupid SINGULARITY is greatest of all evil, as even Ithorians are created via opposites. Evil Sith jerks who preach singularity and block Cubic Creation debate, should be nailed to their heavy harvesters. Your future is your plundered past. Today, you have the opportunity to make tomorrow better than yesterday. To do less, is a crime against children. One cornered players may not use the time cube endowed guild hall.
But, If you'll allow me to quote the great Dr. King, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." Clearly if we apply this to guild halls, the worth of a guild hall lies not in it's materials or it's construction, no indeed, it's value clearly lies in placement.
Prices of guild halls vary by server. Post in your trade forums. kthxbye.

I could've gone further but the calls started coming into work and they dragged the steam out of me.
I learned that working the phrase "industrial bourgeoisie" was worth an extra letter grade in any paper I composed in college.
It was tough working it into a paper on mesoamerican shaft tomb burials, but hey, it was in there.

Speechwriter. Make yourself a title.
Make it good but not too good. It should be serious but also whimsical. The acronym should not spell out a dirty word. If it sounds too Naboo-ish then I may have to have you beheaded, I'm not in the mood for anything with a Naboo flavor today.

Hmm not bad. But it needs something more. A proper title should have 2 words at minimum.

Uh-oh. I forsee KING Pawlin the Elitest, his mind on more Elitest matters, setting his Royal Executioner the task of writing his latest exposition on the state of Architecture and sending his Royal Elocutioner off to behead a Drall.
