Prices vary widely. i had one guy say that 12k for a swoop was way too high, another time when i told someone 20k they said great i'll take 2.
so i've settled on 12k for the landspeeder, 15k for a speeder and 20k for a swoop. i dont think i make much money on that but i dont stand outside the starport advertising, its more of a sideline i do

On Sunrunner, the going prices seem to be 25k for a land speeder, 30k for a speeder bike, and 35k for a swoop.

bah on sunrunner I charge 20k for X34, 22k for speeder and and 25k for swoop, seems fair to me as many are overpricing (IMO) and I still make a tidy profit of em.

I've been selling them as follows:
Landspeeder : 25,000
Speederbike: 30,000
Swoop: 40,000
And they've been selling fine. Actually, I've had a hard time keeping my Swoops stocked. I plan on lowering the prices soon though. I think 15k, 20k and 30k respectively is probably more reasonable.

My prices are currently
Landspeeder : 20,000
Speederbike: 30,000
Swoop: 40,000
They were a lot higher at first but this seems fair based upon teh market and what I am prepared to let the resources go for.

I charge a standard 5 cpu for them so it's around 20, 30, 40. I'm an active tailor, and my fiance is an active armorsmith, so the vehicles are more of a courtesy/convenience item to my customers. I don't want to go into the vehicle business, but I have them around just in case someone needs one. I would probably lower my prices if I truly wanted them to sell, but the thought of making 50 tailored items a day, checking resources, loading vendors, doing image design orders, doing custom tailor orders... and THEN logging on my alt to make vehicles and crafting tools and repair tools is just toooo much!

I charge 12K, 18K and 24K for Landspeeder, Speeder and Swoop (effectively 3 cpu). They sell pretty slowly, actually. On vehicle patch day, I sold a million credits worth of bikes at 5 cpu, and another million credits worth over the next couple of days. Now, I only need to restock my vendor once a week at the rate they're being purchased.

Dont forget that the vehicle autoheal exploit is being used constantly. I expect that when this gets fixed, vehices will be sold ALOT more often across all the servers.

It greatly depends on what server you are on and the durability of the vehicle.
Isellhigh durability ones for up to 6cpu and alow durability vehicleat 3cpu or less.
The resources needed to make a 90%+ Durability vehicle are usually the harder to find prime resources that sell easily at 5cpu (like Duralloy Steel, Kammris Iron, etc). So it greatly depends on the resources you use and what it's value would be on the streets.
For instance, there's a IN-SPAWN Phrik Aluminum out on Bria now that people are selling for as high as 10cpu.
Advice to you would be to put the Durability % in the deed's name when crafting the final product.
I always put the % and people never ask why the prices vary.
Example for Swoops:
name price
'Swoop 95% Durability' 48000cr = 6cpu
'Swoop 85% Durability' 40000cr = 5cpu
'Swoop75%Durability' 32000cr = 4cpu
'Swoop 65% Durability' 24000cr = 3cpu
NEVER, EVER PUT AN INCORRECT % ON THE VEHICLES.
If I forget the %, I just name it the generic 'Swoop' and sell for 3cpu, even if the Durability was in the 90's.
I would rather lose a few credits than get flamed on the boards for false advertisement.

hi i'm not an artisan just thought i'd pop into ya'lls forums and noticed this thread. on bria the "street" price is usually about 20k landspeeder 27k for a bike and 37 for a swoop. sometimes you find some one selling them for about 25% less (15k for a speeder for example) The "shop" price changes dramaticaly based on durability though i've seen close to 90% durability speeders selling in the 60k range and 30% speeders for around 10k. just goes to show that you get what you pay for.
p.s. on a side note for those artisans who keep a well stocked store i appreciate it ALOT ya'll do an awesome job thx

Daft question do you have to be a master artisan tobuild a vehicle ?

yes, although i suppose if you bought a manufacturing schematic you could run off a number in a factory. (i think)
