Hi, I've been getting more and more frequent tells asking for Armor Upgrade Kits. So I've decided to whip up a full factory run and offer it to those slicers who'll need them for their own clients.


But I have no idea what price these should fetch, never having sold them. So any help from you all would be much appreciated and welcome. I plan on selling them by the crate (of 25) only.


Thanks!

That's interesting. I was thinking more along the line of 1k each. Here's why, please correct me if I'm wrong:


Each kit allows one slice. When looking into this issue, I considered that most smugglers I work with charge 20-25k for slicing a full set of composite armor (9 pieces). If I sell them AUKs at 1k each, that's a profit of 20k-9k = 11k, up to 16k if they charge 25k for the set. That's a good, fair profit margin, IMO. And it's a fair price for me, supplying the AUKs, as well.


Am I off somewhere in this reasoning? Again, I haven't sold these before, so I want to make sure I don't undercut other AS', nor do I want to overprice the products, to the detriment of making decent sales volumes.



Edit: BTW, did you mean 5k/kit or 5k/crate (of 25)? I'm thinking of selling mine for 1k each kit, thus 25k/crate.

actually the AUKs need conductivity 100% if i rember correctly. so the cost / crate should coinside wit hthe raw cpu value of the resources used to make them. i p[ersonally sold my AUK/crate 25 for 9k. that was making a 95% AUK

According to the smugglers and my experimentation....the quality doesn't matter.


Notice there's no quality rating on the finished product?

Neither do vehicles. But this is kinda like armorrepair, everyone got their own theories and SOE even got a few thrown in for good meassure.
