Architect Archive

Greetings fellow Kaurians


My name is Shen Molo, Architect, and I am pleased to announce that I am accepting orders for Small House Deeds and other architectural products. If you are interested in obtaining a house or other item, contact me via in-game EMAIL ONLY please. As my skills progress, I will ofcourse offer larger structures, better harvesters, and factories.

I accept credits as payment, equal to 2 times the cost of the product in resources.

I also will make you any product I can if you provide the resources.

An example:

Small Naboo House:

2460 Low Grade Ore
860 Metal
50 Steel
18 Chemical

Or Cash Price: 6776 Credits

Special Offer: All houses purchased come with 3 free furnishings.

I am willing to trade services with other professionals, and will give discounts on large orders.

I also sell harvesters/generators for 500cr each and will show you how to use them.

Your prices are too low. How do you expect a commodities market to persist with such low prices? 2 creds a resource? It costs almost 1 cred a resource just to harvest them. Now you figure you buy resources from other players and now all of a sudden you are at a lost of creds.

I normally price 4 credits per resource if I'm just selling raw resources. 5 credits per resource if I'm crafting something...

I think that Elite professions should even cost a little more... like 6 credits per resource if not more.

Since when has a 100% profit been unnacceptable?

Getting 2-5 times resource cost will not last. Everyone and their brother will have harvesters up and running within the next week.

2x resource cost is an acceptable, sustainable price.

You're gonna drive yourself out of business bud...

I'm not goingout of business....I'm making money hand over fist!

I spent 8k in upkeep today and made 20,000 credits. I have back orders for houses with repeat customers asking for multiple units.My training is being paid for and I have kissed powercrafing goodbye. I made Building I todayon PAID orders. I would rather sell numerous cheaper units than holding out for 1 or 2 sales at 15-20k. This way I am getting the training I need.

All that being said, I am going to fill the orders I have then raise my prices by about 50% untill things calm down a little.

The way people are selling deeds, by the time things "calm down" every person with an account is going to have a house on every planet. Then what do you plan on doing with your building skills? Set some reasonable prices please, if not for yourself, for the rest of us.

I think this is going to be a problem for every profession. There are some people that just don't get it.

That's the BIG thing about a 100 percent player driven eco. If you think that you can convince EVERYONE to sell high, just so that the planets won't become an explosion of buildings...well you won't beable to convince everyone.

No point in coming in here to bash this guy just because he is already up and selling his houses atabreakneck speed.

He is allowed to choose how much he thinks his labor is worth.

Shen, it's people like you that flood the market with cheap junk and drive prices to crap and screw all your fellow players.

I second that.

LOL.

I don't "screw" anyone. I have3 goals:

1. Pay for my training and gain xp by selling items, not powercrafting.

2. Build a PA Hall for my guild.

3. Get rich.

So far I am doing all 3.

You think I'm screwing you? I think your greedy whiners. This isn't a socialist system. I don't care about doing whats right for you on your server. I am making a handsome,PHAT, 100%+ profit and have more work than I can keep up with.

Get off your high horse and post realistic prices, and you will be too.

And another thing:

The architects who will be successful will get that way by selling LOTS of houses/factories/furniture to LOTS of people. If you want to waste your time trying to sell a small house for 20k to some sucker, your welcome to do so.

You sell 2 houses for 20k while I sell 10 for 7k.

I make 70k credits and 77,720xp

You make 40k credits and 15,544xp.

Do the math and **edit**!
