I'm on Flurry, as well. Here's what I'd charge for such items:
Adv CRDM: Power 57- 400 Credits
Adv BEC: Charges 18, Power 14 - 200 Credits
Adv SDS: Power 67 - 200 Credits
Adv LS: Power 154 - 75 Credits
That's about what I'd charge for such items. You're free to do whatever you'd like.

Thanks for the info. Can you explain how the cost is broken down/ derived? It will be helpful so that we don't under/over (esp under) price meds on Flurry.

Well, I came to those prices using what I know about medical sales on Flurry (I used to sell all of this stuff).
On Flurry, I would sell a stimpack B (using mostly advanced components) for about 800 or 900 credits (depending upon quality). At that price, I'm selling my stimpack at roughly 9-10 credits per unit of resources used.
Knowing that, if I were to sell subcomponents for the same price, they simply wouldn't sell. Anyone that bought them at that price couldn't make any money on them. Therefore, the price had to be lower.
Also, resources on Flurry usually sell for 3-4 credits per unit. Therefore, I needed to price them a little higher than that or I wouldn't make any money.
So, in the end, I picked something in the middle. If you look at those prices, you'll notice that I priced them at roughly 6 credits per unit of resources used. That allows me to make a bit of money making and selling them and someone else to make some money by buying and using them.
Of course, if you are doing all of the resource harvesting on your own, you can get resources for considerably less than 3-4 cpu (actually, you can get below 0.5 cpu). If that's the case, you can sell your subcomponents for even less and still make a nice profit. Your profit per item will decrease, but your sales will increase, countering that.
I hope that helps.
