I completely agree with Stomp-N-Romp. Use a base formula to get the base cost and mark up according to supply/demand.Yeah..and I think that formula only works for StimB's.


Is Stim B's where ever makes most of their money?

Thank you all so much for your input... it has been of great help so far. I don't want to undercut the market and harm other doctors, but I also want to make a profit.

Thanks again.

I use this type offormula in pricing my stims:


For a 380/30 stim:


380 * 30 * .12 = 1368


Round up to the nearest50 or 100 thenyour price wouldstart at1400 credits for the stim.In the above example, I'm selling the stim for .12 per heal point.


To break it down, there are a total of 11,400 total base heal points in the stimpak (380*30), then I multiply that total times what I will charge "per heal point", in this case .12, then round up to the nearest 50 or 100 to make the price even and rounded.


As pretty much everyone has posted here, every server has their own market ratesso do check the bazaar and other Stim vendors to see how much they're charging. To get the "Price per Heal Point" of other Stim Merchants justwork backwards,for example;


Dr."X" charges 1500 for a 360/27 stimpak:


360 * 27 = 9720 (total heal pts in stimpak)


1500 / 9720 = .15 (rounded)


So that's roughly .15 per heal point that Dr. "X" charges for that stimpak. Do this with several other stimpaks from different sellers to get a range of where they're being priced, then set your own rate that's competitive on your server.


I prefer to use this method because it gives me a consistent way to price my stims regardless of the stim-level (B,C,D,E) and its given quality for that batch.


Hope this helps!
