yo.. how are u guys pricing?

what is the formula?


i made some vasarian brandy with no additives (it's the first thing i've made)

it buffs for about 214 to mind/focus/will

filling is 52

it lasts for 33m30s

and the quantity is 6

i used small cups


i was thinking maybe 20k?

is that too low?

is that too much?


also.. is this a good vasarian brandy?

also.. how are u pricing other items?

get the filling down to 50. that is a HUGE must. other then that the brandy looks good, I am starting the crates at 30k, but so far I have sold out within an hour of stocking my vendor of brandy, so will probably be bumping the price up soon.

I am selling +218 buff, 49 filling, 36 minute, 10 use (large glass) brandy for 50k a stack right now. I thought it might be a bit high for non-BE drinks, but so far the stuff is flying off my shelves at about the same rate as fishak...


I've only had two people ask about "better" brandy and I've explained the situation regarding the need for stuff from other professions...I also told them that if they could find me a BE to supply components, I'd be happy to provide them a broker discount. No luck thus far.

uhhh... holy sh*t... are you seriously trying to pawn it off at 50k a stack... or 50k a crate... 50k a crate i can see... 50k per stack and your customers must be either really rich, really stupid, or both...

I sell mine at 45k a crate and it sells out within the day as well.


I'm just having a hard time deciding on the prices of the odd stuff like Air Cake, Thaktillo, Flameout, T'ssolukand Cavellean Creams

I'm not sure if my current pricing scheme is set high enough either. Not use to actually selling a valuable product though.


I'm tinkering around with my pricing scheme, but so far I'm using:


8 CPU for creature flora (Hide, Meat, Bones)


5 CPU for cerals, veggies, gas, gemstones, all the regular sampled resources


Would you agree that this is too low? What would you suggest I change the rate to?


Still working on my BE alternate, so none of my foods have additives...

I price the brandy at 350 credits per use, and most everything else around 300 credits per use.


How can anyone argue that the other foods like Defense vs Dizzy +10 for 18 minutes is worth less than 300 credits? This puts most of my crates right at 45000, and 52500 for brandy using small glasses.


Seems like everything takes the same amount of resources and time to make these days, barring BE stuff and containers larger than small from the equation.


Of course everyone just wants the stat boost food.... I suspect this will change in time.
