Hey everybody.
My Scout seems to be making his way fairly OK these days.

My question is about harvested hides. Is there a ranking of more valueable hides? Is a leathery hide more valuable than a wooly or scaly hide? I have about 4 different type of hides in my inventory and I want to sell them but I don't know their value or which ones I should keep for crafting myself.

I've placed a few stacks of 200-300 hides on the market at 3 and 4 credits per unit. They sold literally in minutes, so that was obviously a bit low.

Price things accordingly, depending on what server your on, test what the market will bare, plus be competitive to costs that are already posted, if you undercut your just hurting yourself because you put all the work, if you overprice items no on will buy your items. Examine the quality of the product your going to post, specially when you have 4 different kind you are selling. And sell in bulk 25, 50, 100, 200, 300 & 400 units and so on... I don't think it's necessary to auction your items unless it's extremely rare.

Remember there are smart buyers and sellers out there...

On Chilastra(In Tattooine) I'm getting 10cr per unit of all kinds of hides & bone. I haven't tried charging more because I may have to buy one of those item some day!

Hides and Bone, because they are so valuable and relativly rare, i.e. you can't get a Bone Harvester or a Hide Generator and stick it somewhere, are currently going at 8-10 credits a piece, when most other resourcesare going for 3-5 credits a piece.

I typically sell my bones and hide at 100 for 999. It's cheap enough for repeat business, and high enough to make a nice profit.

I don't know about hide but last night I sold 100 bone for 1000cr in less than half an hour.

I've received more requests for wooly hide than any other, but that may be purely coincidence.

From other postings/boards, it looks like the average price that most people are willing to pay for any hide or bone resource is about 5c per unit. You'll find people who will pay more or less, of course.

While playing on Lowca the proces for hides and bones are generally the norm i have read here 100 for 1000 creds. But while i'm on Radiant they sell for alot cheaper. Of course my scout on Radiant can't sell them for decent cash, and my artisan (no combat skill whatsoever and tiny health) has to buy them for tons. Just thought this was odd.

I've just found some of the best spawn of wooly hide ever on some vendor for 150cpu (good value seeing as though this was being sold for about 300cpu on the forums). Was so tempted to buy it, but then I thought about the Combat Upgrade.

With all these possible armour 'nerfs', or changes, do you think that hide will still be worth this much? Will armour still be selling for 400k+ per suit, or will we have to drastically reduce prices depending on the stats they decide to make it?
