I decided to start offering pet food in addtion to my normal selection of pet stims/vit packs.
With all the extra meat I have laying around I decided to make some yeast additives and throw them together with some Bofa treats.
The result was bofa treats with 24 uses each.
Now, I'm not really making these to make a profit as much as I am to add more of "one-stop shop" for CH. At the same time though I dont want to price em so low that I cant keep em stocked.
So, does anyone here have any suggestions as to what I should charge for these 24 use bofa treats? I was thinking of selling them in crates of 5 (120 uses total)
I never sold pet food before and the only other BE I knew who did was Arthurdent. But it was such a long time ago I looked at his pet food vendor I cant remember a price

i'm sure if you posted this on the chef/creature handler forum you'd get a better response though

Good idea! I would take your total number of ingredients @ 5-10 cpu = price per bofa * quantity in a crate = total price per crate of bio-snacks. Then judge your servers costs for ingredients and adjust total price down or up in incredments of 10%.
You might not get rich but a little extra income is nice. Who knows you might just corner the market in bio-pet snacks. Good Luck!

Chefs dont like me muchand the number one rule of economics is never ask your customers what they want to pay 
All joking aside, I think I will make a post on the CH forums and see what they think

I think I'll do that and use that as a rough base cost for my thread on the CH forums 
Thank you both
