How exactly are packs priced for sale ?
If I were to craft 1 pack of enhanced action buffs with 30 uses, do I charge 15k x 30 uses = 450k
Therefore for all 6 stats would be 450k x 6 =2700000
This doesn't feel right, could someone plz explain

On my server they generally sell for 100K for 6 buffpacks for all stats900/32 in a backpack
Agent sells them cheaper then that though.
It all revolves around whether or not you want to make money.
If you want to make money, you sell them cheaper than other Doc crafters....or you make the best buff packs on your server and you can then demand a premium price.

15K which the client pays is not only for an action buff but all six stats. Therefore, a doctor buying your buffs will make 15 x 30 = 450K from an entire set by buffing the public. Obviously, the doc needs to make a profit so they will not be paying 450K for it. Price your pack keeping this in mind.

So would 100k per crate per stat with 30 uses seem fair.
Multiply by 6 stats = 600k

I would price it at 200K for a set of 6
A set would consist of 1 packfor each stat ie.1x health, 1x action, 1x stamina, 1x con, 1x strength, 1x quickness
Assuming 30 uses,this set would allow the doc to buff 30 people for all six
He would earn 450K for this.
Taking into account bivoli, travel etc, this would leave the doc with about a 50% profit. This would keep your customer base happy

When deciding on a pricing strategy for my packs, I looked at the cost of my ingredients (on average) and the going rate for public buffs. I priced my packs so we each make about a 400% return on investment.
My current packs are selling at 100K for a full set.

Currently on my server I'm paying 600k for 6 sets 31 uses high 800 power 3hours.. comes out to 2422+ 2.50 with my good stuff on.. only thing that kills me is the price of bivoli.. still trying to find a good spot for that I cut down my expenses alot when I did a stat change so that by time I can do next buff my mind is completely regenned... and it's great for combat (as MTK) cause I can buff myself and my mind is high for those stunners (but I digress).
I'm ok paying 600k for 155 sets as 155 sets at 10k is 1,550,000. So with bivoli and my travel to the planet I buy it on I'm getting about 50/50. If it was higher I'd probibly start shopping around.. but as I have bought 3 backpacks now (lol and stillhave no money as I finally can buy the things I've always wanted.. next purchase is going to be an AV-21) I hope my distributor sees that I'm one happy customer.
I just don't like crafting anymore.. I burned out on MWS.

UPDATE:
Having crafted my first set off buffs, the stats aren't the best, 2.5 duration, 91 med use, buffing around 2400-2500 with Bivoli.
Placed loads of packs on my vendor for 15kper pack x 6 stats = 90k
Finding these are being sold quickly as they are cheap.
Ive been offered a 12 pt suit for 20 mil, which Im definitely going to buy.
So when buffs have been improved ill shift the price up.
