I'd like to start selling crates of knives or pistols to Smugglers on my server so they can grind through the slicing tree.


I don't know what the going price is for these.


Can someone let me know what a fair price is? I'm not looking to gouge prices, but then again, I would like to make some money off this.

I think anywhere arround 1,250 is reasonable (thats 3.5 cpu). I've occationally put these on my vendor at 1,400 and they will eventually sell. Honestly, if you have some material so poor you cant sell it otherswise, you might lower your prices further.

Typically on the intrepid bazzars:3k for a crate of 25.

Hey Esbe,


Personally I don't sell buffs... the time/effort to make them vs. my profit margin just isn't worth it to me.


But I do know that AngryTeddy on our server typically sells her Master Doc (Higher than Med Use 90) for 4K per pack. They typically have 25/840/9800 stats. Renairdor's prices are slightly higher... and his product is typically slightly higher. But neither of them sell that high per pack as you are... and both offer a better product.


Though Ren cheats with his **edit** Expermintation suit.


When I was considering selling buffs, I think I settled on 300 per charge. That's a wee bit higher than AngryTeddy... but pretty close to in line with Ren. And Docs can certainly make a profit at that rate if they are buying them.


So for yours it would be 4800. That's probably what I would charge.

I made some enhance d's med use 90 or lower and they came out at 19/750/90


I was charging 12k per pack because I figured people who use them can make the money back quickly by using the packs. I know these arent the best but I have been busy trying to get the best resources available, so the packs will get better with time. So what should I charge?

buff packs like that would sell for about 6-10k


buff prices on Gorath have increased to 10k (famous and known doctor.)


n00bs still charge 5k

On sunrunner it's 500/charge for 800+ power usually. I would say that 300/charge for these would be fair. No idea how people even bother at 4k a pack...

4k for a whole buff pack?


I'd buy them by the crate and never have to make buffs again and quadrijoople my investment.

The main question to ask yourself is what is your time worth. I spent over 150K on Doctor skills from a trianer (I was one of the first Master Doctors on the server). And my time is important to me. I just sold 30 packs (5 of each) just yesterday for 300K. There was no arguement, no hesitation, and no complaints. If you charge 6K-8K for those packs you will sell them. There are alot of 0-4-4-0 Doctors that need packs.
