Hello, I am a Master BE on the Gorath server who has never found any chef customers, but then again I have never really look for any. I was thinking of auctioning full factory runs of BSN's and INN's on the trade froums, I have never seen this done before. I was going to start with a full run (1000 or 40 crates) of some +85 BSN's I made with some not so great meat with a min bid of 400K with 50K increments as a test run. I have a full run of +87 BSN's that I was going to auction next with a min bid of 500K with 50K increments.
I guess my questions are, Would you bid on somthing like this? Do my starting prices seem low enough to attract attention?
Should I try a run of INN's also? (I have a bunch more of the stuff I made the +87 BSN's with, should make good INN's also)
Would you Chefs be interested in smaller runs also if I did not get enough good meat harvested for a full factory run before it shifted?
Enough questions for now, Thanks for your time.

If you run a vendor you might just try advertising your vendor on the server and trade forum first. Say what your listing, prices, etc. See if you can't pull a little buisness that way.

As a chef the +87 is interesting and I wouldn't want to buy it in lots less than 20 crates. 20 crates is a normal full run based on what food/drink you are making and what subs are required. Try posting in your trade forum for your galaxy or contact some of the master chefs of your server and see what kind of interest you can find.

With those prices I would take all that you could make on my server. With meat prices what they are you would be losing money.
+87's and +117's are my standard. Once you get used to using these as a chef you want to keep it up or else your food stats dip. We are having a price war currently on Radiant for BE additives, but I think 87's are selling for $40K per crate and 117's for $50K per crate. I make my own so don't worry about it, but if prices drop below 40K for BSN's then I would need to buy from someone else versus making my own.....I could sell the meat I have or use it in chef items for a better return.
Also, as someone else mentioned, sell them in backpacks of 20 crates or 40 crates. I prefer full runs of 40 myself.

I think if you are willing to deliver them to people, you would find tons of customers, people hate going to pick them up though.
