People have been doing this crap on Bria for months, the only people it hurt were other chefs. Quite honeslty the rest of the community could give a rats ass about your prices.

Man, I wish I could find creature resource for 10 cpu. There is NO creature resource on Lowca that goes for 10 cpu, not even grinding. For good quality, you're looking at 40-70 cpu for meat. I just spent 50 mil on around 1 mil of really good quality dath carnivore meat. For the best berries and fruits, you're looking at 10-20 cpu if it's out of shift. There's NO WAY i could even attempt to stay in business if I sold for that low. Just my $.02. Best of luck to you if that's your business plan.

More power to you, many a elitest thinking businessmen whom contolled a market have gone out of business with "superior" product lines. If you can keep you're costs low and vendors stocked you make billions, look at Walmart they don't have "The best product" one can make and they run people out of town all the time.
Don't worry about what your competetors think only worry about what your customer's want. In fact, don't even ask them for permission next time just do it.

I actually play on the same server as enigma ...and trust me .. this hasnt effected my sales one bit ...
One of the best things you can do as a chef is ALWAYS have product ..
I never run out of 50fill vercupti ..when the insect meat spawns ..i HOARD it .. i have over 300 crates in storage just sitting there and i sell an average of 5 crates of the stuff a day ...
Having the vercupti - and the high demand for it . keeps people COMING BACK to my shop ...picking up other chef items as well ...
My prices are more then fair ..
125k For Brandy
125k For Canape ..
125k For Bivolli...
etc - u see where im going with this ...
The only item that i put a tag on is the vercupti ..225 a crate which is more then fair in realtion to the 300k some people charge ...
I dont spam kettemoor auction board with my items daily ...I tip back credits to people that spend creds conistantly ,, for example ...a 125k bank tip with a " drinks on me " message ...
TO sell items this cheap is just foolish ..well i shouldnt say that to each their own ....i could never sell my items this cheap and will not untill addtives comes down ... theirs a middle ground to pricing , as even with my current prices , i make a nice profit .. but then again why shouldnt i .. this toon does NOTHING other then chef , merchant .... as great as it sounds , i wont craft for free ... A crate of brandy lasts my combat toon over 3 weeks ...125k for this is more then reasonable .. i never had a problem with chef prices when i wasnt a chef , and all my prices are cheaper then the average rate for items ..
But my point is ...enigams cutting of prices have not effected my sales one bit ...as a matter of fact my sales are on a steady incline as people love the vercupti and its ALWAYS THERE !

hey, im not trying to flame but your being to nice 
i mean think about it, on average on my server we sell for all this
i mean think about it, on average on my server we sell for all thisType Stats Price Outcome (per run)
Bivoli +24 28fil 15minutes225k 9,000,000
Brandy +400 40min 50fil 150k6,000,000
Ahrisa+40042min 33fil 125k 5,000,000
Synthsteak40% Reduction 33fil 35 attacks100k 4,000,000
etc.
now average additives cost eh, 800k per run and resources say cost 120k per so thats 1.2mil per anything that you make
now what you are trying to sell is
Type Stats PriceOutcome(per run)
Bivoli +24 28fil 15minutes 85k3,400,000
Brandy +388 45min 49fil 75k3,000,000
Ahrisa +403 42min 30s 32fil55k2,200,000
Synthsteak 38% 35 attacks 25fil45k1,800,000
this is insane pricing probley making it hard to stock as we have been saying, so just maybe make bivoli 125k synthsteak 70k, so at your effort
to make prices lower your killing all your chefs and your only doing this to your server, so do us all a favor and make prices a little bit higher
for all the chefs (even you)
