I don't think it's even necessary to deal with posts like that. if people think that the kits are expensive, they should help relieve the cost by helping crafters mine the resources. there's a price for convenience... and it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new BARC/AV-21/jetpack.

thanks Pappi ,I know better, but something about that post just set me off - now that the football season is going I feel much better (until my fantasy team starts to lose than watch out).

short of spending hours gathering asteroids, the cheapest i can get asteroids on Lowca is 80cpu. i just bought enough asteroids to craft 12 kits. so that cost me 120k per kit. i marked them on the vendor for 250k. i then made a trade forum post, and in 20 minutes they were all gone. one person bought them all, most likely to mark them up and resell for a larger profit. i think these resellers are one of the biggest reasons for prices going up.
I respectfully disagree.
The prices are going up because the owners of the rare vehicles have the money to spend and are willing to spend as much as 650K (sunrunner). If I put 12 items on my vendors and they blew out in 20 minutes you can rest assured that the next time I stocked them the price would rise substantially. For me this is the best part of the game, exploring the virtual economy created by the players.
Prices are high for the kits because they are new --- remember what Tatooine Banners were selling for whenthey first came out? In addition I would guess that a lot of people had disabled AV's and Jetpacks gathering dust in thier datapads and were overjoyed at haveing the chance to bring them back from the dead. Once we get past this phase the retail price will start coming down.
my 2 credits.
To the OP,
This issue seems to come in with the tide. The dev's seem to wisely ignore it.

This guy is upset over the price of Vehicle repair kits and is wanting SOE to put a cap on the prices we can charge.
Wrong!
At no point did i ever state this, it was someone else in the thread i had started, so stop trying to stir the pot!
SOE make your mind up on this tool or start to implement a proper price cap on the amount they sell for so its an open tool for all players alike, and to the crafter that hates the idea tough its a case of stop making the dictation and start SERVING the community to make the game more enjoyable for us all... if that means we have to all work together as a server wide to bring everything back into balance and forget about profit margins then and only then will far star and the rest of the servers be enjoyable for all new and old alike!
Please learn to lie better.

No the devs just ignore everything, it's easier that way.

I must chuckle. If someone is upset about prices, they should come to Ahazi (or Bria from what I hear) and we can watch their head explode when they do a vendor search.
Ahazi's the place where people pay the 50k "my shop is closed until BE tissued clothing crafting is fixed but since I can't make a tent (with vendors) private I'll put on a fee" fee to come in and shop... and usually only leave with a few items
