70k isn't a rip off, but since you have holo grinders unloading cheap stuff, and a house is a house, the market price is much lower. Why serious architects only do the experimental items like harvesters or crafting stations. Housing I'll only do for my own city. Otherwise I have a nice stock pile of good harvester metals and ore that I can get much better p/u ratios on. When quality maters, price goes up, and people only want the best. Why a 10 BER sales for twice that of a 9BER.

ive got them marked for 30k only sold one, probably because there overpirced, what does everyone else sell them for?

35k

But since there are ber 10's available the demand for the ber 9's aint going to be high, i just have them on there in case my vendor runs out of 10's, i don't expect them to sell. I've even got some ber 11 heavy's on there, again i don't expect them to sell Just couldn't bring myself to destory them

Pricing is hard, whats overpriced to one person, isn't to another. 30k if a fair price for the amount of work and experimentation heartache that goes in to making them.

Depends how long you had them on the vendor, i can go days without selling any, then a few come along, all at once it seems and the lot go ! The nature of having a shop i guess

hmm interesting, thanks!

that sounds about right. 30-35k

I sell 10's at 60k easily and usually sell 9's for 50k, 8 40k 7's 30k...

9's at 75k 10's at 90k can't make enough.

I have a bunch (> 25) on my vendor for 20k. And they have been there for a looong time, since the patch where they fixed experimentation, and I sell one every week, if that.

My vendors get a lot of business, so its not like people are not seeing them, they just dont want them.

I sell out of heavies as soon as they are on the vendor, or before, but I can't get rid of the medium BER 9s for the life of me.

I'm not making any more.

70k for a medium house isnt really a ripoff

I agree on 70k for a house.

I charge 30k for medium minerals, and 20k for 9s (I use a schematic and get very few 9s). These cost us 3500 resources, at 70-90k you might make some money now, but people are going to realize they are being ripped off eventually. At 30k you're getting nearly 9 cpu for stuff you can buy for 2cpu (3 tops).

i sold about 15 BER 9 harvesters today im happy now

I presume then if any of you ever buy armour or weapons you feel you are being TOTALLY ripped off at the prices being charged ?

The simple fact is, if someone buys a medium 9 at 70k or 10 at 90k they will have sold enough resources in 4 days (assuming 3 cpr, 75% ish) to breakeven and for ever and ever more they roll in the cash for them.

Also not every resource going into these is a 2 cpu resource (actually this is bargain basement and rare on my server). I use a steel on my server thats sells at 15 cpu !

And you tell me I am ripping people off with resources going at those prices....yeah rite.

You sell your stuff cheap and make a small amount of money... I will continue to service my customer needs to their exact requirements and they will continue to be happy to pay a premium for my services.
