well dont charge comp that much then.... stoopid over inflated markets.. our server has good comp (64-68% base) for around 150k-200k for the most part
Great server you are on 
This server is like 80% kinetic and 60-65% base like 500k a set 
I will make cheaper then..
Problem is that price wise it costs an alot to make padded armor, not to mention for most advanced stuff you are going to need to travel around and gather up those special hides and bones and components.
I make alot of padded armor, usually around 40% stuff, just because I don't go looking that often for great components, and basically hunt down my own hides and bones. I usually charge around 75k for a complete suit, which I think is pretty reasonable.
As for Composite. I charge based on what layering I'm using and how much my resources cost. As of right now, my 75/50 stuff is about 140k on my vendor, but for 33% stun I'm charging about 210k; depending.
Now if someone is using alot of added components like Janta hide, or Kimo scales, your looking at 5k added on per segment used at a minimum. (I have paid alot and very little for stuff like that, but I keep track cost wise and figure it out per suit - Pretty much the price I paid + 20% to cover travel costs and such)
I'm still figuring things out as I go in any case, but to tell the truth its a hard bussiness to keep going.
