I charge by location.
My Home city tips only or free
You grouped with me free
You hunt for me free
An easy planet like Tat 6k
a harder planet dant-endor-Lok 10K (Any roll less than 1200 = 1600 credits back)
In the middle of no where and I peddle my speederbike to you 15k (Any roll less than 1200 =2000 credits back)
I have had one complaint where he wanted a set of buffs for 3k, crafted on the spot a set of A buff's for him he got an hour of buffs out of it. Quit doingt that as I like my inventory space.

I don't sell buffs or buff packs. They're too much of a PITA to make to throw them away like that.

Can any Corbantis master docs weigh in? I'm levelling up there and won't start charging for buffs till I am master and can deliver quality buffs consistently.

You never will buff consistently. The best you can do (after attaining master) is to get or make the best buff packs you can possibly make using only Advanced components and buy yourself all Medical Bio-engineered clothing. I'm talking Pants, Shirt, Coat and Hat (if they could make boots with a +5 to Med I'd buy it). That's the only way to beat the average but you'll still end up with the occasional sour900 buff. You'll just have better odds at hitting 3000+ more often.

Since becoming master doc...one of the things ive enjoyed most is being able to haggle with people. Make them understand the value of what they are buying......Ill generally charge 7k for my crap buffs and 10K for my premium.
Most people pay this freely and graciously with a thank you and a smile.......
but sometimes i get ..."10k thats preposterous! I want it for 8k"......"buddy, you are going to flip out and waste away precious moments of your ever fleeting mortality looking for another doc who may or not be by for hours and who may or may not be charging the same? Allover 2K of virtua-currency? Buy it...you know you want it"
Having this kind of dialogue with someone is more fun to me than being able to shoot fast or bullseye womp rat'sback home that are not much bigger than ?meters.
Supply and demand baby....we all need keep in mind what people in this game are willing to pay for power.
Charging what I want and having fun doing it
thanks

I charge 5k or if someone offers more I take more. Players charging more are just plain greedy. I mean, even at 5k for a set your covering cost and making a good profit. Those charging more I see as the holo grinders trying to make as much as possible before having to drop master.

I play on Intrepid. I now charge 10k for buffs. (except guildies, friends, and anybody I hunt with, those are always free)
I used to charge 6k, but I spent a lot of money on BE clothes, medical experimentation tapes, 110 droid, and high quality resources, so I don't feel bad charging a little extra. Some people don't want to pay that much, and I am fine with that. They are free to find someone else to buff them. I rarely have a problem finding customers. In fact, if I accidently go through coronet with my MD tag up, I am flooded with more tells than you can believe.
Of course, nowadays a lot of people know me by name and I don't even have to have my tag up...

I also charge on a sliding scale
<1500 = free
<2000 = 1k
>2000 = 2k
If I give two buffs under 1500 I'll offer the person a complete refund or a free set of buffs next time I'm selling my services. Generally people accept these prices quite willingly, and often tip extra. Ive found that my biggest problem is the lines of people that form when there isnt another doctor in theed at the time.
