I do 1800-1900 buff strength on Infinity, does anyone know what the price for these would be around is 6k fair? I have problems finding Bivoli so don't get the +25 modifier. What do you guys think?

Not sure but on Flurry out at the Dantooine mining location there was a novice doc there charging 6k for level 500-700 buffs.....but keep in mind I am new to Doc....

Those are not crap buffs. Depending on your location you could charge 6K to 8K for a set. If they are around 3 hour duration or higher then I would go with 8K. Or you can just check around with other Doctors on your server and see what they charge for higher, lower or similar buffs.

They'd sell for 10k on Bria, that's the standard price. I even saw some doc selling 1500 power buffs for 10k.

I'm not sure what is happening on Ahazi, but it seems everyplace I go MD are selling 2400ish buffs for 8k. I won't buff for under 10k unless it's a special case, I buff newbs for free etc...
With Avian meat costing 100cpu and the cost of everything else, it's just easier to buff myself and run missions than deal with people (only a few are over-the-top, most are pleasant) and carry on coversations thru all the spam if I'm short on cash.

my buffs are 2100+ 2hr 40mins I charge 10k on Intrepid even when I get 2000 powerpacks I charge 10k, If there is someone standing next to me offering 2400 3hr buffs for 8k, I charge 10k......always no matter what its 10k....or they can go elsewhere

Hi, I have 1900 base packs myself but with Bivolii can get above 2100. My advice is find bivoli from a master chef. I charge 12k on outworlds like dantoonie and 10k forplaces like corilliafor 2100 buffs lasting 2 hours and people are very happy to pay that price

The value of the buff is in the customer.
There are may other factors beside power that dictate the price.
Start by charging what any other doc would charge for a 2.2k buff. Then lower the price if no one bites
For example, if your the only Doc at an out post such as Dant Mining then your buffs are gold. Charge as much as if they were the best buffs in the world (which they are). Even with those buffs a guy can make lots of coin.
It is not the power of the buff that makes the value it is what the customer will do with the buff that counts. A 1.5k buff is enough to do most any mission on Dant. So any good fighter should be happy with them. If they are smart they will ask for the duration and not the power.

i usuallly charge 10k for buffs that hit 2240 each ( i only use 11% bivoli because its cheap and i have a bunch of it and i use BE clothes) these last for 3.5 hours so i think its fair. i charge the same even on the outer planets. if your unsure on what to charge just charge 8-9k...that should be fair

I've got 1.9k (2.1k+ with BE-clothes, about 2.4k with bivoli as well) 2h40min buffs, and are usually charging 8k, at least when I'm buffing in public (Mining Outpost, Dantooine, Starsider). Charging less would mean quite a discouragement as I, like most others here, could just buff myself and do missions with at least as good payout, only wasting 1 set of buffs instead of 10 or 20. In my opinion 8k is a reasonable amount to pay for our service, a buff at 2.5k should easily be worth 10k, and one almost at 3k I would pay 12-15k for if I needed one.

I haven't done a set of buffs since I bought my +25 (+28 actual, but damn that cap) Doctors outfit, but previously I was hitting 1600 buffs. If someone asks at the dirtmall (Coronet), I buff for 8k, 10k if they annoy me. On Lok, Dantooine and Dathomir, I charge 10k and won't do it if they annoy me.

The problem ive got is that on bloodfin you can sell 1800 buffs for 10k, you can sell 2000 buffs for 10k and 2400 buffs for 10k, BUT you can't go and sell a 2400 buff for 12k even 14k which it is worth.

Bloodfin has a Doctor overload and bot/alt Doctors buffing... but also meat wars that make buffpacks expensive.
I don't buff under 15k anymore on Bloodfin but I also don't use it as a source of income.
As people give up on Doctor/phase into something else, or find that they can in fact charge more(as I do) they will accept the raise in prices.
