I have tried very hard to maintain my attitude as best I can. This is it however. I refuse to go lower than 3 credits a resource for my buildings. I am also aware that the "going rate" out there is now dipping into 2.5 creds a resource. I

I refuse to take less or right at what it costs me to make. I cant do that, as a struggling novice architect. I dont know why all these master architects are doing it.

I'm done with architects. I might come back and try something else maybe, but I am totally disgusted with what has happened to the economy. Why in the world are people selling so freakin low? Its pointless.

I'll come back in a month or so and see if its any better. But chances are.. the pricing will continue its way DOWN.

Dont make medium houses, why not instead make factory parts for other architects, like identical walls or identical generator turbines. Use the time you have to just do destroy missions, you can always get rid of the skills later when you get more advanced anyways. Just harvest the resources and make structure modules, and walls for your grind, and store those in your house or bank for later use. Remember the more you work while you dont sell and still do the destroy missions for your upkeep the more you stock up, and this is where the money is. If an architect sells structures at a low low price, it makes them work harder, they have more customers on the back burner waiting for their merchandise, sometimes taking hours, days and weeks for that structure to be built for them, because that low cost, that architects material depletes fast without a good return in funds. You have the material already, in fact can make whatever is needed on the spot.....no waiting, no hassle of getting in touch with the person buying or selling, your done, heres your structure, thanks for the money.

I have decided to just make parts for master architects who don't need xp and are willing to help novice architects seems I can get 10k per wall module which is fair to me and it helps me get xp that I need. I suggest making offers to master architects that you see. Most are helpful if you give them a chance to help.

I no longer make houses for anybody unless they are a good friend or they provide the resources.

50K??? I would kill to sell a medium for 50k.

it took me 3 days to finally sell a medium house at 55k. I dont like selling it at that but after spending all night for 3 days spaming I broke.

I am better off selling small houses than medium. They sell quicker and I get a better return out of them without breaking my resource bank. I also found that selling harvesters and factories are much better. I think most people would rather have a small house and if they decide to move up will wait and get the large.

Mediums are horrible. They started out really low. in the 40-50 range. Even smalls never started out that low, they just went lower after time. There is just too huge of a jump from small to medium for people to realize. <4k to 22k.

I sell small at 17,000, meduim at 110,000, and large at 195,000. I sell at 5 credits per resource which is more than fair when raw materials are selling for 4 credits per resource on the bazaar. If I sell for any less then its not even worth my time making. I could save the resources and make harvesters for my self or friends.

Shane -- The economy on Lowca permits you to sell at those prices??? I must be missing out. Prices are just plummeting on Kauri.

If you haven't tried yet - go to a different city. You probably did that because it is obvious but just in case. Pricing isnot consistent accross an entire server.

pricing is server, planet, city dependent. I can still sell Medium house at 65k on corbantis rather easily

On Naritus, Corellia the bazzar doesn't have resources for 4 or even 5 credits per. It's more like 10-15 cr per. It useless to buy from there to build anything.

I sell for the same prices that Dainn sells for, and really, I don't discount unless people give me the resources (or they are friends of mine).

There is no point. Think about it. You have the product, they don't. If they want it, then they can buy it for the price you are quoting. You don't need to sell the item, you can always run destroy missions for cash to keep your harvestors going. And they can always run destroy missions to get the cash to buy the house at the price you want them to pay.

For example, I once had someone ask for a price on a med mineral harvestor, which I sell for 13-15K. I told him 14K and he came back saying he bought his last one for 9K. So I said, sorry, not selling for that. Low and behold a couple hours later he was back, willing topay 14K because Icould sell him one right then, not in a couple of days. My recommendation is to not sell med houses for anything less than 60K. If they come back and say they can get it for cheaper, then tell them to go get it for cheaper, because you have a house available now. Have some dignity. Sell for a fair price and if they question it, tell them how many resources go into making houses.

-I AM WARGHUL

This is ridiculus. I am a Master Architect and I stopped selling houses for this reason. It seems that people just don't undertand a game economy.

The only thing I sell now is PA Halls.. I refuse going under 5 credits per resoruce. Otherwise I will just sell resources on the Bazaar and become a miner.
