I have whipped up a few vehicles to sell. Unfortunately, my resources were not fantastic, and as a result I was left with about 50% experimentation on durability. Giving swoops/speeders about 1720 and X34s around 2200.

Some of the vehicles took a crit fail in experimentation. so they have 0%. I assume they will turn out at base HP

What prices should I charge? I went to look around, but vehicle vendors are always empty

I personally think that vehicles are being sold waaay to cheaply as it is. A buddy of mine makes something like 94% vehicles and these should be sold for at least 40k. Problem is, nobody will pay that so he is forced to sell them for more like 20k. Now, I am a resource gatherer and seller and I can easily sell the amount of resources that he puts in to them for more than 40k. Therefore, vehicles are currently way to cheap, but people are used to paying low prices for them so they will probably never go up. On a side note...money means nothing in this game right now and because of that I also cannot see why they are not more expensive.

Now...that in no way, shape, or form answers the question that you asked, so let me take a stab. Maybe they should be sold for like 10-15k.

For a price it would depend on who your selling to personaly, friends and guildmates or strangers.
Friends and Guilmates I normally charge only 3 per unit or resourse used, for anyone else i charge 4 per unit used to make them.

I'm new to vehicle sales (2 days) too and am still fanageling with prices, but based on the few sales I've made so far and what I've seen from hanging in front of the Coronet Starport (Radiant server), there seems to be a tiered pricing structure based loosely on the quantity of resources used.

Here's my current price list:

Oops....

OK, here it is...

Swoop - 30k

Speederbike - 24k

X-34 - 18k

Iygow's Galactic Bike Shop and Tattoo Emporium

Cape Saarn, Corellia

-7515, -5100

i charge 23k for the x34, 33k for the speederbike, 43k for the swoop...i make7k to 10kprofit on each at 2or 3cpu for each vehicles resources.

I stock vehicles on my vendors all the time and they sell quickley. I charge 6 cpu for the best experimented ones and 4 -5 cpu for ones i either use poorer material or have crit failures when crafting. This works out to:

X34 Landspeeders: 10 - 26k

Speeder Bikes: 30 - 36k

Swoops: 40 - 48k

My neighbor is a resource merchant and he regularly sells his steel, ore and non ferrous metals for a minimum of 6 - 10 cpu on his vendor and at the bazaar. So, I'm still not making quite as much as i could just selling the resources. But then I get the vendor xp and droid sales too from people browsing.

Opps, the landSpeeders should have read 20- 26k.

What you should charge is UP TO YOU and noone else.

NOONE has a right to tell you what you should charge. NOONE

Everyone has their own idea of what something's value is and those trying to tell you you should charge this or that are trying to control things and force their ideas of value onto other people.

Charge what you think is fair and if the buyers don't agree, they won't buy. It's really that simple.

I charge 11k for Landspeeders, 15k for speeders and 20k for swoops. I think it's a fair price and people buy them. I'm satisified with the profit. What other people feel about it being too low or whatever doesn't matter.

People trying to tell you what you should charge is like Kmart telling Walmart what to charge. Walmart is going to charge what they want and if the people like the prices, they are going to shop there.

Like stated earlier, that is up to you. I charge:

X34: 20k

Speeder: 27k

Swoop: 36k

Note: I mark downa vehicle if I get failures while experimenting on it. The greater the failure, the lower the price. However, I always make a profit. However small.

Iprice vehicles depending on Durability.

• 50-70% Durability 4.0cpu (usually the Bad-Experiment ones)


• 70-80% Durability 5.0cpu


• 80-90% Durability 5.5 cpu


• 91% Durability 5.6 cpu


• 92% Durability 5.7 cpu


• 93% Durability 5.8 cpu


• 94% Durability 5.9 cpu


• 95%+ Durability6 cpu

I tend to sell Swoops the best, then Speeder Bikes, then Landspeeders.

Although many are selling for much less, I don't care.

Let then00b vehicle crafters who don't even experiment with their good sell at a cheaper price.

What you charge also depends on what server you are on. I have been hearing complaints on Kettemore that vehicles are selling at only 10k, but on Radient they sell for about 30k average (or they were at that price last week when I bought one... the price is probably down now *sigh*). Don't forget to browse vendors near yours to find out what other people are charging for them!

Well on the Flurry server, I have found few people willing to pay above cost for a vehicle. I gave up making them. Too much work to lose money on each one I sell.
