Oki now I need to find out what others are charging so to start out here is what ill do... ill post my personal guideline to pricing. witch is likely too low. And I, can barely sell pets
Pets lvl 0-10: 10.000
Pets lvl 11-20: 15.000
Pets lvl 21-30: 20.000
Pets lvl 31-40: 25.000
Pets lvl 41-50: 30.000
Pets lvl 51-60: 50.000
Pets lvl 61-70: 100.000
Pets lvl 71-75: 150.000
Things that cost extra !
Light armor +20.000
Specially requested attacks +10.000
Kinetic resistance over 40% +10.000

And then sometimes I charge a little extra for the low level ones if they are really nice... But i need some imput from others... because i have no idea what is a fair price.

I'd say your lvl 10 pets are too cheap. I tend to go by double the CL then a little extra for decent specials, high resists and armour. The exception is lvl 10 which depending on the specs can be anything up to 50K or more (most someone paid was 75K). A normal level 10 being around 25K.

Your selling your Light armor too cheap as well..I mean any armor that knocks of 50% off the top of any non armor peircing dmg..Only 20k heh I double the price for light armor I mean how many low level CHs you see running around with a natural light armor pet..HMM none they have to be bio engineered..Selling yourself short for sure.IMHO..

Also pets over 70 are a waste to try and sell..Nobody can use them. Not unless a uber rare armor or clothing attachment of + to CL is out there..But I think thats not gonna happen to alot of people.

I've been selling my Non-CH pets for 60k and heard of others going for 70k...I selling CL50s for about 150k-175k but they have 12k HAM, AR1 and +45% Kin/Ene resist. I don't really make anything other then Non-CH and CL 50+ unless it's a mistake.

I do not agree with the simple CL pricing, it does not refelct how good a pet is.


Most quality pets will fall in the CL20-40range for the "twin" or "triplet" set,I don't consider things above that to be of quality.I price things lower when they go above the CL40range because I know I've messedup and made the pet's CL too high, its similar to having a nice gun but screwing up the HAM cost. I knowmost BEscan maketwo CL35 pets that could beat any CL70pet in any possible situation.


I also think armor isvery decietful, but its something you can take advantage of to inflate price. Most customers would rather have Light armor and 50%Resist thansimply 75%resist or Light armor and 20%Resist rather than 60%resist, when infact the no armor situationsare better in combat and doesn't pump up the CL like armor does. Its a different story when you have light armor and 60Kin or energy though.

Kinetic Resist: 150 credits per %

Energy Resist: 100 credits per %

Common Special: 2000 credits ( Intimidate, Dizzy, Blind.....)

Uncommon Special: 3000 credits ( Medium Poison, Medium Disease... )

Rare Special: 4000 credits ( Knockdown, Strong Poison, Strong Disease, Open Wounds... )

Ranged Attack: 5000 credits


IF its a good non CH pet: see pricing schematic for CL 35+ pets


CL 21 - 35:


Combined HAM:Basic Price

Light Armor: 50 % of Basic Price

Kinetic Resist: 150 credits per %

Energy Resist: 100 credits per %

CL 35+:


Combined HAM x 2:Basic Price

Example pet:

CL 35 Kittie

72000 = Basic Price

36000 = Light Armor

9000 = Kinetic Resist

6000 = Energy Resist

2000 = Special 1 Common

4000 = Special 2 Rare

5000 = Ranged Attack

--------------------------------------

134000 =Total Price


Dont know if I am *too cheap* but my customers are happy, and I am happy with happy customers

I just wrote up some advice on setting prices for SWG tailor. You can read it here if you'd like. There are links in there to several sites that have pricing to get you started.

That's why she's the Advice Diva


One thing we have been talking about at the SWGTailor message board is what is our time as tailors worth to us? Do we charge a percentage for large special orders, or do we charge a flat fee? And then how do we handle those people who refuse to visit one of the websites out there and instead ask you questions. (Sadly, I am at the point where I am going to tell someone I consider a friend, that she either has to do the work herself or I will just put her on ignore. I don't log into SWG to be her private tutor when it comes to tailoring.)


It's a hot topic and usually ends in some sort of small flame fest on these boards, but I think that we as tailors need to continue to communicate with one another.
