Architect Archive

Well, the people who sell too low will wear down and the people who sell high may not make much buisness. It's just basically who can sell their houses and make the money required. The people selling low will bottom out and eventually be gone. I don't sell low now that I know how much I need to manage. But I still think theres low sellers besides me. I'm not too worried.

Heh, I'm afraid that Kettemoor is already screwed... look at the idiot in this thread:

Now I won't even be able to afford my harvesters with idiots like this killing the market.

Yikes! I see what you mean. There goes all the resources and landscape. You know what will be funny is he will get swamped and can't keep up and everyone will be very upset with him

if people are selling for 6 or 8 k let them...they won't be able to make many at that price anyway.

I sell for 12k which i think is super cheap but everyone thinks is expensive. i refuse to sell for 1 credit less. I always get asked "can we work a better deal?" I say "Yes! you can bring me all the resources and i'll make it for 2k." They are always happy to agree to that. Of course when i mail them the list of resources, they start to warm up to the original 12k.

here's the reality. people sell raw materials for 4 to 5 cr per unit at the bazaar. A house takes 3388 resources to make which works out to 13,552-16,940 cr JUST FOR THE RAW MATERIALS.

My 12k is a steal!

Ive been trying 15k a bit. Just decided to raise to 20-25. 15 was too low for what I need to do.

uulonze you should be shot, 2260 for a house?? thats cheaper then a piece of bone armor. these prices are extremely low, for having to get like 3000+ minerals. us architects need to keep prices fairly high. no matter wat we charge they will still buy. im not saying like 100k for a small house but like 25k+.

================================================================================

Aye , U read it write. What I am saying is that ifsome of the architect going sell the a small house lower than 5K, than I will go spoil the bloody market.

You got it right there. Once people actually understand the amount of resources that go into these products they won't mind paying for the price. I do the same thing, except it's 5K for my time. I've seen the bazaar with materials for 3 creds/unit, which I feel is the right price, but when these people see that ore is going for 5 creds/unit they do shut the hell up and really decide whether they want the house or not.

I read some smack about setting "standards" and houses being eaiser to sell at 10k. houses are not a right they are a luxury. As in real life don't you have to work hard for a house. and a house cost a lot more than 3 times and outfit in most realistic cases. The guy selling low will shoot himself in the foot when he can't keep up anymore. I am in this for the long haul and I agree with the statement that 30k for a lifetime investment is not too much to ask. Once the PAs get good and strong they will give every noob that joins the money to buy a place or their "resident" architect to give one away for passing some sort of trials. We have to make it possible for every common person gets a place of thier own but make them work for it. I have spent a truckload of XP and credits to train Architect only to have it washed away by some power grinder trying to build PA halls. Another flaw is the market with a 3k price cap that is going to stilt the economy. If we charge 10k for a house I expect to see armor for 200,

I was hoping someone could post a list of what we should be selling houses and other architect items for. I'm a solo crafter (well me and my brother) so I'm a bit behind the curve compared to the guild crafters.

Thanks
