C'mon you guys charge a price that you all deserve. How long did it take you to get to MD, and you were getting very little reward for it along the way, apart from the odd generous tip. When you master any combat or manufacture profession you get rewards along the way if you choose to take the path of missions and not straight grinding. You cant do this with the medical trades. You do not make money easlily in the early stages, you just spend it making and buying stims and wound paks.
I don't have a set price for my buffs. I let the market decide what I charge, BUT I NEVER GO BELOW 15K PER BUFF. If I am one of the first doctors on after a reboot I charge around 20-25K. If I'm the only doctor on a 'masters' planet, such as Dath, well thats open season. I usually ask for serious offers, often refusing below 25-30k. Quite often if someone messages me asking for my services I may charge 50k or evn higher. I have even buffed for 100K.
You may be thinking this guy is a rip off merchant. No. I am charging for a service. I am making 'masters' money. When I hunt on Dath I can make 36-39K per mission and sell the hides and meat. If I can make that money in one mission so can all the others on the planet. Why should I go out of my way to buy paks, bivoli and brandy and make very little profit on it so others can rake the cash in.
C'mon people don't sell your selves short. Charge what you deserve.

I don't know how it is on other servers but on bloodfin I charge 14-16k for my buff they're 2543 3 hours. Only other opposition I've seen is 2514 3 and a half hours. I usually get the longer line. The break most doc's get is they're competition will get a big line (this can be a good thing) so people will not want to wait in line. So they come to your line. This is howI see it, although I have to say I have stolen business by setting up an Area price. Example: If my buffs are 100 power stronger for the same price most people will come to me.My two cents for what it is worth. 
Happy buffing.
Happy buffing.

ahazi has some horrible docs...buffing 2400 for 15k..used to be 10k or 12k...matta is just getting worse...making horible buff strength and duration so i switched my buff maker to someone else..and its for the better..when i use havla i get a response from all my customers "WOWOWOW that was fast wth!" "H4x" ...tells me right off we have lazy greedy docs..i wonder if most of them invest in even bivoli let alone havla..doesnt matter i empty the starport of other docs due to my always better buffs and buff prices ...pwnt...15k will get my line filled...as i only charge 12k..go ahead set your global buff price...i'll cut it by 3k-5k and take all the customers ...as i stated before..nothing good will come from a set buff price per server..poeple like me will discard it and take your bussiness...as you all will be over charging now..especially after the next publish 11.2
o.o pwnt
