Im on the Gorath server and was looking for input. I have been out of the architecture business for a while and have recently come back to Gorath. I just started a run of 100 BER10 Minerals and looking for good input on what to sell them at. I dont want to undersale or be way overpriced...
Any input?

The going rate price will vary considerably from server to server. You might get some responses here from architects on Gorath. But you might get Gorath specific data faster by skimming through recent posts on the Gorath trade forum.

Any other architects getting tired of the low selling prices for various architecture items? I'm just getting started in architect on my new toon and started to build medium mineral harvesters. I've been getting anywhere from 5-7 ber and attempted to sell them in them in the Coronet starport for 10k- I think thats a decent price but.... Someone asks me what the BER is. I tell him/her anywhere from 5-7 and they laugh in my face. They tell me "I can buy a 10 BER harve for that price!" People must be smoking something crazy! If they do find prices like that, this profession is more screwed up than I thought.

Hate to break it to you...I bought all 10 of my medium mineral harvesters I currently have at various prices from various vendors when I was starting out. Scraping money here and there together from resource selling and running faction missions over and over.
The prices? BER 7, 8, 10, and the rest of em 9's. The best deal I got was 15K with 6K researve mainenance for a 9. The others I paid 5K to 15K for. I think I paid 20K for the BER 10.
However the caviet to this is that I think the guys I bought from were former hologrinders or were dumping stock, cause theyhad other vendors of the other crafting classes and most of their vendors have been empty fora few weeks or have never been restocked.

On Scylla it depends on who is selling them and how despirate you are to sell them.
I personally stick with LARGE hopper sizes (last mediums were 65k hopper) so I sell them for 50k.
Others on scylla sell theres for 15k to 75k. For me I think i'm offering something far above average (most peoples BER 10s are 52k-55k hopper) so I think 50k is a fair price. The only guy I know at 15k has mostly BER8 and 9 on his vendor and about once a week adds 2-3 BER 10s.

On a side note... In 3 months or so as an architect I have sold only ONE BER9, and TWO BER 12 when I was first learning. I have not sold anything like that in some time. The 'learning' architects who can't get large hoppers, and don't know how to do mass quantity make me laugh. A couple weeks ago I did some heavy flora's with 128k hoppers (BER 13) and a fellow architect sent me an email saying he was reporting me for exploiting. I wish I could report him for being stupid. 128k isn't even my best now a days. My average lately has been 125k, with my weaker metal.

BER 6,7,8,9 mediums will go cheap. It is hard to move anything less than maximum BER and you can often find deals on lower BER harvesters.
I have to deep discount any experiment failures or resale harvesters that I have which are less than max BER or they just won't sell.

(To the previous threader that passed through to this post) You take too many things people say when BARGAINING for gospel mate. This post here should tell you that things are very fluid as far as prices go.
I'm telling you people LIE when they bargain. I had a (previous) guildmate try to buy the 2nd best ever spawned on Tempest Lok Wild Wheat for 3 cpu. I told him I paid more for that and he started talking trash about how he could get 950+ OQ Lok WW for 2.5 cpu. Problem is, Lok WW never spawned over 900 on Tempest. We have the DAILY database records back to Sept 2003. Take what people say with a grain of salt and verify for yourself. Bending your prices for any reasonwhen you are bargaining sends a signal that you can be brow beat.

I've alsocaught one person outright lying to me when trying to haggle on a purchase.
On the other hand I had someone want to haggle me and I refused to budge but they asked nicely if I wouldn't mind haggling a little as RP because they enjoy it.

I don't quite get you here. Are you saying you should bargain by never lowering your price at all? THats not really bargaining /haggling IMHO. I think normally in haggling you start high, they start low and then you meet somewhere in the middle. So bending the price is normal practice. But if you didn't start high to begin with or have no intention of offering any discounts thenjust don't haggle/bargain.
