Its realy no wonder when no one use Chefs Buff...
The Last 2 chefs i asked wanted 65.000 !! for a Crate of Fyshak!! And other Things this expensive too.
I must be stupid to buy Fishak at this Price when i can get (more Powerfull) Moun Gold for 8.000 a 25er Crate.
Chefs think about this

Hm, i bought a crate of Fishak for 55k and thats ok for me because Chef food
has more than 1 uses per Fishak, in my case 1 Fishak had 8 Uses
So i payed 275 per use
When i buy a Crate of 25 Muon Gold for 8k i pay 320 per use
So i dont think its expensive

Weedburner :
#1 fishak STACKS with muon, so you can take it with muon, or to counter the downer.
#2 try being a chef. Go see how much it costs to get to Master, then see how much the resources cost, and how long it takes to make.
#3 Dont like the price ? Dont moan, either find a cheaper chef, or take up chef
It may seem expensive to you, but I could actually make more cash selling the resources I harvest on the bazaar than selling food and drink, yet peoplr think it's too expensive.
Look everyone, we have people moaning NOW that our stat buffs are pitiful, what the hell is it going to be like after the patch ?

Very humerous.Very. You obviously dont know your price per use. I charge 82,500 for my fishak and thats 300 credits a use. Still cheaper than your supposed comparison which comes in at 320 credits a use. In addition to that that fishak takes multiple factory runs due to components involvedand requires a very large amount more ingredients to make than spiceand they have to be good ingredients. Spice is one factory run with 45,000 ingredients that can be the worst crap to ever spawn on your server. Fishak uses more ingredients than spice in the components alone not counting the final run.
So yea you must be a little "off" when you can buy more for less and think its worse.

Dude, I charge 99k for a crate of 25, 39k for a crate of 10 for the following reasons:
1. Cost of making it. Take a look at a fishak schematic, then take a look at a pu36 (subcomponent) schematic. These things are not easy to make...
2. Muon is a one time deal. Consider this: Most people pay 8-10k for a crate of say 10 Muon Gold. That comes out to about 800 - 1000 creditsper use. Fishak works on top of Muon and its a multiple use buff. 800 credits times say 6 uses comes to 4800 credits. Most chefs should be charging 120k for a crate of 25, but most don't. I do know a few who do however. I drop the price somewhat because Fishak doesn't buff all three mind stats.
3. My stuff actually lasts for 12 minutes. Muon only lasts 10 at best.
I think 50k is a steal.. That chef may actually want to consider raising his price.

List you the price I set on vendor.
Fishak 90K
BOH 135K
GGP 100K
I need to restock it everyday and put the schematic in factory once it stoped production.
Consider how long the factory have to run to make 1 batch. Consider the works to keep checking new and good resource on each planet, place harvesters, keep check it often and restock the material for production. Keep checking the vendor if any goods need to restock. Set the factory production plan such as such.

My Vendor:
100k Fishak and Glazed Glucose Pate
125k for BoH
Don't complain, because people buy me out first day. Apparently it's not TOO high.

So what did we learn from all this? 
I'm definitely on the cheap side, but I don't push my wares aggressively (Chilastra seems to be a pretty cheap server too). I like to keep the price low for PA mates, so registering my vendor is about the only advertising I do. If I were to push my goods a lot, I'd raise my prices so I can make sure I'm not undercutting any of my fellow chefs.

Oh and as for people not buying buffs....lol....I sell an average of 10 items a day and I could sell more if I can keep up with the demand.

Boh 50k a crate of 25, I split it though to make it easier to buy 10 10 5. 5 for PA members and low price of 7k
that is the same price and crate split I use for all my food. I guess I am the cheapest one out there. No wonder why people clear out my vendor when I fully stock it.

Actually I think most chef vendors get cleared out when the good stuff hits no matter the price. Are you using alcohol or alu for BoH? My alcohol BoH would be in the same field as yours. My alu BoH tho is 90k. 10 hrs per crate really justifies that imo. You could make many other faster things for good profit in that 10 hrs.
