Is there a standard price for a PA hall, lowca is down so i can't go on and ask there and i just became interested in starting a PA, so any info on the current market value of a hall would be greatly appreciated.

They require alot of resources and at the moment one of the identical components (factory made) is bugged and doesn't always create it. Alot of resources get eaten so the price will vary. On the various server boards I've seen anywhere from 350k to 500k. Here is a breakdown so you can see why it costs so much:

Aluminum - 1000

Amorphous Gemstone- 4

Carbonate - 1060

Chemical - 100

Copper - 508

Inert Gas - 14

Metal - 14902

Non-Ferrous Metal - 800

Polymer - 16

Reactive Gas - 400

Steel - 658

Total for a Naboo, Tattoine, Correllian Hall = 55368 (not counting factory schematic's resources)

Generic = 63,602

Hope this helps,

Stupid lack-of-edit-feature!

I left off the big one:

Low-Grade Ore = 35,906

Okay, what would be a fair price for a crate of Vasarian Brandy, no BE additives, large glass, 10 uses per item, +200 to all stats and 44 minute duration?
Pre-patch I used flat rates, so I'm a little lost when the old-timers start talking about stack price vs. crate price. If you could point me to a thread that explains it, I would appreciate it.

I used to sell Fishak at 65K per case, and sold "ok" (i.e. not like crazy, but at a decent 15-20 crates per week). That should give you some perspecitve on what is happening now on my server compared to your server.

My first run of Brandy came out to +200 for 38 minutes with 9 uses and 49 filling (so you can take two). I figured you would have to use 2 brandy's to equal 1 fishak, but since the brandys lasted twice as long, you would need 2 brandys = 2 fishaks. Therefore pricing should be the same.

However, the apparent buff of Brandy is much lower than Fishak. Many customers will look at the "200" and say "It's not worth it". I put a long reasoning of why Brandy and/or Spiced Tea really outperform Fishak, and am pricing mine at 15% less than the Fishak price - or 55,000 for a crate. I had initially thought of pricing it at 40,000 but someone bought it all up immediatly.

As a side note, I am charging a little over 50 credits per use of Spiced Tea. 6 doses of Spiced Tea and one Brandy makes a very nice Mind-boost combo - especially combined with some Ahrisa. Spiced Tea made in small glasses uses 17 resouces, and generally has 3 charges. Revenue = 150 per stack, or an 300% markup. On each case, you'd make about 2,500. I sold 20 cases within 1 day of it going up... I think it will be the new best seller (between Brandy & Tea that is).

heh a chefs best seller...artisan stuff. fancy that.

I'm currently making +206 all stats 41 minutes 49 filling. Hopefully the next batch will be a bit better given the resources...However on to the point....I came up with roughly between 65 and 70k per crate of 25/10 charges. Just stick to your guns! I've gotten the "These stats suck! I thought you could get +xxx That's to much!" These people don't realize the "MEGA UBER L337" vasarian is using BE additives. It cost a great deal more to make and sell. So simply send them on their way to buy it for 300 plus thousand a crate. At 65k I can't make it fast enough and are back ordered for days. I think it's a fair price.
