Starting up a business selling mainly Stim Bs and Wound Pack Bs for right now until I get my business going strong. I'm not really sure what to price my stuff at though. Looking around at alot of other med vendors I've seen any range of prices for stuff. So here's what I'm going to be putting up on my vendors to start with, maybe some of you docs with businesses out there can give me some tips.
Stim Bs 45charges 435 power in stacks of 50 and 25
Then I'm going to be selling Tech Packs, each containing a wound pack B for all of the six stats. Wound packs are 200 power 45+charges.
Six stat wound packs.
Any help on this is greatly apprieciated as I'm kinda lost right now. Thanks.

To sell my doctor meds, I have a pricing system based on cpu of meat. It works fairly nice, and my meds and stims sell fairly decent. (Well my stims are a different story but I'll explain.)
I personally sell all my woundpack B's with a base price of 1252, but with my 50% mark up, I sell them at 1878. No matter what the stats are, and what the base heal is. They sell fairly decently.
Now my stims is a different story. A while back, I saw a formula on the forums posted by someone that looked like this:
U * H
----------
12.771 + .0858(M)
U = number of uses
H = base heal value
M = Med usage (which for stim b's, its 5)
Afterwards, I mark that price up by normally 50%. They sell fairly decent. They don't move so fast as to where i'm always crafting them, but I sell a few each day. And also, I don't sell in crates b/c I never have enough resources to make a crate run.
-----------
Now for your stims, the price according to my formula would be sold for:
1 stim = 2224 (with the 50% mark up)
then in the stack of 25 = 55612
then in the stack of 50 = 111200

Hope this helped somewhat...

Wow thanks, this helped alot, although that seems a bit steep compared to some of the other med vendors on my server. I suppose i could just change a variable in the formula to get something that makes more sense to me, but this will be awesome for pricing stuff in the long run so i don't go crazy.
Thanks again.
