Thread: Vehicle customization kits pricing.
I'm selling 8 charges at 1250 at my shop in Coronet and about half that in my City on Talus.
I'm a DE so there is no real problem with the components and it's a novelty item so I'm not going to charge an arm and a leg for it (not that I do that normally
)
I soldmy hand made ones for 10k (for 8 charges) on the first evening and sold out quickly. By the time I had the first crates out of the factory on the second day the price had droped to 6k (for 6 charges) but sold 300k worth at Theed starport that day.When I came back later in the day people were selling them at 4.5k for 7 charges, they now seem to be selling steadily at 2k (for 6 charges) .
The oppotunity cost of a 6 charge kit is about 250cr (I could sell the resources for that). The dependencey on DE parts should be factored in (Though I'm a DE so don't have to buy in components or schematics) and given the other things I could make, plus general factory costs, 800cr is the lowest price I would do for one. However I expect the price to level off at 1200cr or 200cr per charge in the long term.
(ah, that explains it, I just threw some high OQ steel at it,)
That's exactly what I did, and I couldn't get past two charges!
