Thread: What has anyone charged for +89 BSN's?
You need to factor in this cost in your price.
I'd suggest auction like the other are suggesting.

A lot depends on the price of meat on your server. I sold my last BSN's at 1.8M for +86, but used up meat I that is now going for 100 cpu. I used the best meat I had and the best flora that has been on my server in several months. (INNs with that meat hit 117, and MNS hit 57, but for some reason, I couldn't hit 87 on the BSNs.) Since there are 20K of meat in the tissues, not counting schematic, I think I just lost 200K on the meat alone. I've seen meat on Gorath sold for as much as 300 cpu for a current spawn.
The last several spawns of FAIR meat on Gorath have lasted 2-3 days each. Most of the meat has been junk. I haven't seen very good meat in a long time, except for a few brief spawns of Tatooine avian. Challenge for anyone: try to collect 20K of Tat avian in 2-3 days.
Well I have a lot of experience selling these. I sell these all the time for.... (yea right, lol).
I'm just a little surprised that you'd be selling this to begin with. This is essentially a "trophy product" right? And will likely not be repeatable by you, certainly not in any high volume way. So once it's gone, it's gone. And as others have pointed out, you could have sold your vet reward for, what is the going rate? 10mil or something? If the goal was just to pad your bank account. What I would probably advise is getting together with a friendly chef, and working out some kind of arrangement to jointly create some "trophy food products", hopefully made using also the chef's veteran reward(s). Trade him your tissues for some extra-special vercupti or whatever, and that way you'll both have something lasting and special. You might even consider waiting until after the CU to do something like that though, because we simply don't know what kind of ramifications that is going to have (and I mean that, I'm not being elusive).
I still haven't decided what I'm going to do with my 30k of fish yet. Obviously I'll make a batch of "trophy stim-d's", but then what to do with that stuff? Hmm. Perhaps distribute it in tiny quantities over time to my best and favorite customers. Something along those lines. You certainly won't be seeing some big "full run of stim-d's" auction from me though

Sorryif I'm covering old ground, wanted advice from you guys on what you thought the demand would be for +89 BSN tissues.
Made a full factory run, but wasn't sure whether to charge our chef friends the earth, or just add a little supplement to the price of +85's.
Didn't see much point asking chef's, as wanted an unbiased opinion.
The Tissues were made with vet reward meat,all statsaround 990 and fungus, all stats over 960.
PS I'm on FarStar, and usually charge 25k a crate (1 million for a factory run) for +85/86 BSN's.
You're opinions or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
