I am just sending this out about mounts. I have been reading ALOT about the mounts when they hit the servers. And for the most part, most of us will be selling between 20-30k, simply because of the fact that EVERYONE will be on a mount. And we must not cut each others throat. If we all stick together and sell em for 20-30k, then the public will have no choice but to pay this amount. High Demand=Price Increase which is simple economics.

And yes, if a wholesaler wants a ton of mounts, if the BE is willing to make em by the crate, then nock a % off and give em a deal. But the point is we are a struggling proff. and must stick together. If nobody can accept this, then maybe u should change proff. , because all you going to do is hurt the market for the rest of the serious BE's.

And a tip, look at the website SWGBioengineer.com , maybe some peeps will learn.

No since in nerfing ourselves )

There is absolutely no way we can set mounts at 20-30K. Taking them as a vehicle that has a very low decay rate, they would easily be worth that much to an average player, but the game structure is simply not on our side. All mounts are going to have tamable varieties at lvl10. Some of these have already been spotted on test center. And the kaadu is a novice BE product. Since there are few novices who have easy access to a vendor, kaadu will sell for 3k or less, no matter how many posts you put on the forums. Unless you find some way of puttng armor on a level 10 mount I doubt you will get anyone to pay that price for a wholesale creature. And, well, I don't think our chances of putting armor on a level 10 are all that good. We've already heard the devs' opinion on that one.

Supply and Demand my friends.

I've talked to several merchants on my server. They are buying mounts from novice BE for about 1-2k and marking them up to 20-30k. On my server, I've asked alot of people what they are willing to pay, and they say 40-50k each. My price will stay at 30k and I know they will sell out consistantly.

Price gouging? I don't call it price gouging, I call it Supply and Demand.

Whatever man

Come to Kettemoor. I'll sell ya a cloned Carion or kaddu for 2K trained with basic commands. I've got 60 of them in my vendor and keep pumping them out. Not bad quals either.

/chuckle

Have fun selling mounts for 2k. ONE pet stim sells for more than that LOL. Hrm will I buy 1 pet stim c or 2 and a half mounts?

20-30k is what they'll be on my vendor and I'll guarantee you they will sell out faster than I can make them.

Well, for those that disagree with me, fine, thats your opinion. As far as xp and sumo, thank you. I respect Sumo's voice, since in my book, he tells it like it is and has extensive knoledge on this prof.

And I also think that if any of you have been reading anything in the BE forums, you will also see that like most say, you can go ahead and sell your little mount for 2-3k, fine, but you are the ones losing out on the 20-30k mark up when the CH's get a hold of your OWN creations. And yes, I am serious about this prof. , why do you think I have been spending 500-1mill credits in the last 3 days on supplies to finish up to MASTER, since I was misquoted as BEING a master, and so I will have a long lasting resource stash to create my products. Now if that is not serious enough, what is.

And you say, why charge 20-30k to make something that takes 5 mins. to make and little resources. Then maybe you should check out what other prof. take to create some of there products, like weapons for example, and look at the prices they charge for them. And yes you may say, but thats a weapon, well, WHO CARES, its the same principle.

Personally, I dont care what everyone charges really, because now that I think about it, I see BE's drop there prof. every day, because all I ever read is how everyone is sick of things dont work. But hey, there is gonna be one day when it does, and with new and improved features and craftables, and then those who droped it in the past, are gonna be the band wagon herders trying to get back on.

And in closing, most people are rich anyways in this **edit** game, if they dont want to pay a measly 20-30k for a mount, fine, buy elsewhere, but until vehicles come out, you are a fool not to make the money while the chance is here. And anyone who wants to sell there creature for 1-2k, come sell em on my vendor, cause ill buy all you throw at me, and be MORE then glad to make 20k+ PROFIT !

Seeing how I am only 2 dna boxes away from master bio-engineer who is also a Master Creature Handler. You better believe that the mounts I sell and train will not be for 2k. Will I give some away to friends? Sure. But the rest will more than likely sell faster than I can keep on me, or in my vendor.

Ohhh goodie... now that you're telling me how to play the game are you gonna pay for my monthly subscription as well?

right now you can't give away the mount creatures. nobody gets it. 70% of the people I run into have enough ch skill to go get their own, the other 30% don't care.

anyway if demand goes up, and stocks go down, prices will rise. Right now I've got close to 70 kaadu and Carrion spat's that aren't moving at 2K each. And they're patrolling around Coronet advertising themselves :/

so.. I take what I can get.

Why price fix? What are we, OPEC? It all works out in the end, bro - people will sell stuff for whatever they want. It's all about supply and demand... if high in demand, people will freely spend more credits to get what they want. But if you're too high priced for the market, you'll know .

I've puzzled about this a lot. My final decision is, I won't make crap product. So every pet I make costs me time and money in supplies. This basically means that I won't make any pet for less than 10k, because otherwise is just isn't worth my time.

If people don't want to pay that, no problem. I'll leave it to the novice's to sell them for 2k.

And guess what. Vehicles are going to be out before Christmas, and they're faster than our mounts. Unless I'm missing something, interest in mounts is going to be a very short-lived affair.

I already have way too much money and nothing to spend it on. Might just give mounts away for free.

I have no intention of price gouging people just because something is the flavor of the week.
