I was making money at 5k per crate. Then someone went all the way to 1250 but mine keep selling well at 2500.

You just have to tell people how great these are and advertise them as good, useful items.

I used to sell mine at 4K per crate and they moved, but not as fast as I wanted them to.


About a week to 10 days ago I pulled all of my stock and relisted them all at 2500 per crate. Since then I sell anywhere from 10 to 40 crates per day. Many of my customers purchase 4 to 6 crates at a time.


In addition, I pop a few crates and list them as singles at 350 credits each - that way there is a significant price break on the per unit price for someone buying in bulk.

Yes, I know it varies from server to server, but I'm curious. I'm selling some at 3k for 10 +33% max damage, +16% min damage. Now I'm seeing other artisans selling for half as much. (1500). Am I really overcharging that much, or is that guy undercutting everyone to the point of being a weenie?

I can't keep them in stock at 6k per 10, let alone half or one-forth of that.

My (dwindling, I'm shifting emphasis to droids) powerups vendor carries only 33%/16% powerups, in various configurations. All are available at 3500 per crate, and 375 per individual.


I've noticed a distinct slowdown in sales over the past weeks, but I'm actually OK with that, because I am really pushing my droids now instead. Droid sales have been steady enough that I make a decent profit while still being able to grind a bit.

I think 2500 is becoming the sweet spot for power-ups. I move quite a few at this price. When we can select the power-up attributes (if), I suspect the prices will come down again. At this point, the resources needed are trivial, its the frustration of prototyping over and over and over to get the min/max damage, speed/damage combos that people actually want.
