Just made Master BE the other day, worked long and hard on it, and now I have some orders for food additives, and I have no idea what to charge!
The particular customer I'm worried about wants the following per order:
250 Micronutrient Suppliments
250 Broad Spectrum Nutrients
250 Inteligent Nanonutrients
750 units in total,but how much do I charge for each batch of 750 items? I'm really afraid of overcharging the poor chap, but at the same time I need to make it worth my while. Any personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Ta.

On Scylla my pricing would be:
10 crates of micronutrients - 400k
10 crates of BSN's - 500k
10 crates of IN's - 600k
so final price would be 1.5 million

I use 18 credits per neutrient
So if your BSN is 84
84*18*25 = per crate

Micronutrients: 50 resources / tissue
BSNs: 80 resources / tissue
Intelligent Nanonutrients: 110 resources / tissue
at 25 items per crate, and ten crates of each, this is 60k resources. You charged 0.833 credits per resource. I wish I could buy flora that cheap on my server, much less meat....
You have to remember - for high quality meat (that *has* to be hand gathered), prices range from 50-110 cpu. For high quality flora, I've seen prices up to 20 cpu. Granted you can harvest the flora yourself, but if you're in B-E for the money you'd probably want to price your final product such that you wouldn't make more money selling the raw materials. I find that about 25 credits per resource for chef tissues is an acceptable price on Scylla. I'll make deals to repeat customers.
When pricing tailor tissues, I typically take the highest point bonus on the tissue (if a multi-skill tissue) and multiply that by 500 for the price per tissue. This seems to be acceptable, since skill tapes sell for 1 million if they're a +5 (on my server) meaning 200k per point stat bonus. 500 per point is a 400% markdown.
