a couple examples for my SLICED prices:
sliced T21 30K
sliced Laser rifle 20K
sliced VKs 12,5k
sliced PH 15K
sliced laser,elite,ee3,dxr6 carbine 20k
sliced gaderiffi 12.5k credits
sliced geon blasters 60k
sliced scyths 350k
I sell them to a fix price no matter how high the slice because this motivates customers to check my vendors more often ("early bird gets the worm")

Right now there is no simple answer as to how much to charge for anything in the game. Some servers are inflated others are not as bad off. A good rule of thumb is to set your prices based on component use.
I charge about a thousand credits for each component used myself. Then a thousand for every one hundred resources used in final assembly rounding up.
So a scoped scatter pistol will go for 4k. A scoped laser carbine for 6k.
Sliceing I do a slideing scale.
11 to 20 no added charge
20 to 25 2k
25 to 30 5k
30 to 35 10k
I do charge nothing for master weapons that are usually speed capped on speed slices. Since the slice didnt really do anything.

As ana-mo-cara stated previously it is best to base your prices on your servers economy. There are a few ways to figure this out. You can visit other weaponsmith's shops, you could post on your trade forums asking for a price check and adjusting your prices from there, you could just monitor or search your trade forums to find pricing, or you could just go straight off general cpu rates for the resources used in parts and weapons based on cpu rates from your server trade forums or server knowledge and then don't forget to add a tad for enhancements(once again prices found from your server since they vary so much).
I have a question for you, why did you waste such a good gorax bone on a tangle pistol. /cry I have sold like very few tangle pistols in comparison to all my other weapons in what is now well over a year as a master weaponsmith. Tangle and Geo Sonic Blaster both have stun damage, if someone wants stun damage they will pick up the geo every time and personally I don't see why someone would by a tangle at all hehe. That would have made a damn good berserker/launcher/featherweight/fwg5.

Maybe he dosent have the sonic blaster schematic. Unless they changed the spawns while I was away they are so rare. That they cost you millions of credits for one.

Hmm they used to go for a million credits per on Starsider, then I bought like 4. Then they dropped, or seemed to drop to like 500-750k per schem. Maybe we are just lucky with relatively high server population and more people camping the spawns for more schematics.
Seriously if temporary schematics aren't being looked at in the CU argh!

Actually on sunrunner the blasters themselves became cheap but not the schematics. So you would see some guy selling off 12 of them for half a million, and another guy selling the schematic for five million. I think it was a weaponsmith perception thing. You know thinking they had to have and make it, and the players saying I really do not need it. Since what its a pistoleer cert? Not sure anymore, anyway the schems seem to go for more then the items do.
I have turned quite a few featherweight sellers away over this kind of thing. The schem is good but nobody buys the gun.

Hey, sorry, but i was wondering, how much does a DE-10 go for around, and is it any good at pvp or pve?
