I just made my first brandy and the stats are that great but I have someone willing to buy as many crates of it as I can make at its recent stats but I have no idea what a good price to charge would be.

the stats are

18 quantity

50 filling

+357 for 42m 30s

yah I know it sucks but I am working on it.

Anyways what would you people charge per crate of this?

Tough one. Although I'm sure there is better brandy on your server. You still need to charge a fair amount to pay for things you need to produce this brandy like casks, trim, additives, and factory time. I'd ask what price your customer is thinking about paying just to get an idea if it's attractive to you or not. Off the top of my head.. and keep in mind I have no experience with your server's economy, I'd say about 100k a crate might be a price which would seem tempting to a buyer and still allow you some profit.

Before I was a 12 pt chef, I made stuff similar to this... I usually charged 140% of the cost of making the item. This method seems a pretty fair way to bridge the gap between server economies. It takes into account the cost of additives (if you buy them) and the value of the resources you used in the economy of your server

Other than that, it's kinda tough to just set a price on these things. For a while I had a hard time moving my +422, 45min brandy because I had a crappy location and hadn't made a name for myself. Other chefs were making slightly better brandy but selling dozens of crates of it every week for 4 times as much as I was asking for. When you get situated think about these things too... a lot of good chefs I know haveto jack up their prices just to keep up with demand. I've been told putting your name in the title of the food or drink you're making is a good way to get in the minds of your customers.

we are on different servers but that would sell on mine for about 90k-100k a crate... great stuff would sell for 150-175k just to give you an idea
