Thread: Pricing enhancers
I would agree that 1 crate of each is plenty to start out with. You can always make more if they sell faster than expected.
My pricinig is in the linked thread in my sig too...

I made about 10 of bacta jab, bacta toss, Duet and neurotoxin..all were 1200 except Dueterium that was 1102. I priced them at 150k and sold most of them. They do not sell real fast as the have about 200 uses. If I were you I would not make a few crates...maybe one crate of each to start.
150k a crate? that seams low.

I am pretty sure Diepa meant 150k EACH. Not per crate.
yup, 150k per enhancer. Collecting all the resources was a royal PIA(and kind of expensive). I priced at 150k as a test, based upon how fast..or slow they sold I would adjust price. If resources are as hard to get on your server as they were on Lowca..selling for less than 100k is not worth it.
I'm probably cheating myself a bit since my enhancers are (I think) the best on my server and I'm charging 90-100k for them, most of which have 1200+ power and 240+ charges. When I started making enhancers, I had just reactivated my account and had to essentually start my business from scratch. The major med producer on my server was making 1100+ power, 200+ charge enhancers and selling them for 150k. I undercut him to get my business started. That part worked. All too well.
While I was getting ready to raise my prices to match his (and slow down the sales since it has become a 2nd job for me to keep my vendors stocked) he lowered his prices (and improved the stats on his enhancer so that they're closer to mine). He's now selling them for around 80k a pack. So now neither of us can realistically raise our prices and expect to maintain steady sales. I know I'm still making decent money on mine (even though I've paid 20-40cpu for several of the resources) and I imagine the other guy is too. But there's almost no other competition on Valcyn at the high-end (and not much at the low-end). I assume that's due to the low profit margins they'd have to accept if someone wanted to buy the high quality (and old) resources and probably undercut us even further to take business away from us.
Mine are the best on Naritus! 1275+ neurotixins 1295 is my best 100-200k each! Deuterium toss 1115-1132 100-250k! bacta toss 1290+ 100-150k!! most have 170+ uses and I also make trauma,thyroid and other enhacers which all sell well.
