I'm training BE, slooowwly getting up on the sampling line, so far I've had three pets, eahc I've given away. I know what 15 tissues go for, based on the only other BE I know (you know who you are, hehe), and they were 3K each IIRC.She told me how pets were proced, but I just got my printer fixed so I have no idea how much those go for. And I've never seen any prices on the Chef stuff.

Pet prices vary wildly - most BE's make them for fun rather than money (most of your income will come from addatives), so 1k/CL seems to be the going rate for "bulk built" pets - much more for exceptional CL50+ or multigenerational CL35 pets though.
Much depends on what you concentrate on. If you go the extremely difficult route of making custom pets 100,000-250,000 per pet is not unreasonable (there is a market for these, afaik there are only 1 or 2 BE's on Chilastra who make custom pets, I am not one of them!).
As for tissues and addatives -
Tissues need to be at least 13+ to be sellable (so 2 can be combined to get +25), +16 or 17 for singles in shirts and the like (1.5-3K per tissue is reasonable). I have noticed inflation in the price of BE'd clothing though, so you may be able to get more.
Addatives MUST be very high quality or the chefs won't touch them (85+ for BSN's 115+ for INN's). You will get considerabley more trade if you can reliably supply addatives to individual chefs - but this will make you a slave to the meat market (which is why I no longer make many addatives!). Not sure of addative prices ATM - it used to be anywhere between 15-25K per case for BSN's - but I've noticed the prices of food and drink have been steadily rising. It's not uncommon to see Vassarian Brandy at 250K/case now, so you may be able to get more for BSN's.
Chilastra is unfortunately on of the servers whose economy is a bit sick - there is a huge amount of cash in the system and inflation is getting steadily worse (12K is now the average price for doc buffs - I remember when people thought 8K was high!).
Good luck, and if I get any queries I can't handle (or don't want to handle), say the word, and I'll point them your way!
