Thread: Master Architect needed!
I can build one for you on Chilastra.
I ask 450k for Planet and 500k for Generic Planet, I can have completed within an hour of request. (Assuming I'm online at that time)

i cant go as low as you want
Really? That's awesome, I would like to buy 20 PA halls for 1 credit, thanks!!! I'll pick them up tomorrow.
I thought you said you *can* go as low as he wanted....*blush profusely*. I saw the 't' the very moment I hit the submit button.
220k? Isn't worth bothering over. Obvsoubly StarWarsKid literally IS a kid and had no idea of the pain and hassle. Why do you think no one makes PA halls anymore???
The reason he went off on that comment is because we hear it ALL the time. At least once a day, someone askes me for a prices, I tell them, and then I get a lecture on how they can get it for such and such an amount. If you can get it cheaper, fine. Go get it cheaper. The prices Architects (especially Masters) quote for their products not only includes the resources cost, but also takes into account their time. It is not worth it to me to build a PA Hall/House/Harvester for under what I quote. My time is money. You get to pay for my time. And whatever else goes into the structure.
And I spoke to you in game today Korgoth. Was half asleep at the time, but I remember the name.
I agree with Tweaky. I quoted what I did because I want my time to mean something to my supplier. I don't just sell them an item and say Good day. I check back with them a bit later, see if it's what they were looking for. If they are satisfied with their purchase, if there was anything else I could provide for them (Furniture for instance) I make it a customer service endeavor. Not just another sale. I also have some other policies (5% kickback to referring customers, for instance) that help me help my customers. But if you can find someone else to make it at next to nothing for their time... You are welcome to. It is a free market out there.
If you care to furnish that PA though, I recently did a huge stock order on my vendor and will be adding even more to both of them tonight,
Mos Espa -3219, 1187
Coronet -227, -5844
I just love the sticker shock people get when I quote 8cpu to build. I even tell people the price is very negotiable, but almost everyone that asks has zero negotiating skills, and prefer to take the easy out, and claim that they know a "friend" that can give them waht they want for 1/3 my cost... hehe more power to them. I have all the money I need, if these people would just negotiate, I might even go down half. I hope none of these people ever have to buy a car or a house.
