i dnot get this, i sell heavys at 75-80k each, and i'm still just over 30% profit

why do you think we should charge more?

Because they're worth more! They're money making machines and more of a hassle to make than most items. With resource requiments of what they are, and ore as low as it is... You know what, nevermind. I'm done saying this over and over and over again. I'll just make my own at cost and leave it at that.

lol he is also one of my best resources customer! i give him a 1.5cpr rate right now.

So to get this straight. He goes and gets the resources from you for 27,770 x 1.5cr = 41,655cr, then spends an hour clicking away and delivers the end result for 40K (1,655 loss) to 50K (8,345 profit) taking off interplanetary travel (2 times there and back, approx 1,800cr per return trip) to get resources and deliver the product that nets to:5,255 loss to 4,745 profit per heavy mineral miner

I'm pretty sure this architect won't be able to "deliver" at the spot to any consumers that do not provide the ingredients themselves. I doubt he's able to deliver at all to anyone but you.He isn't building a nest egg and most likelly doesn'thave the starting stock he needs to produce his items. With those prices he'll never be able to aswell.

Hmm..Interesting..

I typically sell hvy harvs for 70-80k. Fusions for 80-90k, and PA halls for 190k.

My resources cost an average of 0.8 creds each, and that includes harv moves and power (I very rarely move my harvs).

I'm sitting on 4.7 mil in the bank and enough resources to make a couple of PA halls (complete with furniture).

So, am I underpricing ?.. I think not. But i do appreciate those that charge out at 3+cpu's. They keep me in business.. hehe.
