Hell, I would buy those.

Probably the time is what is turning off people.

The Starport Buffers want to be able to advertise 3.5 hours in their spam.

I would not drop your price any, maybe advertise more in your trade forum if you don't already.

Also, it takes time to build a customer base up.

I have made identical buff packs on Valcyn as well (903/33/10.2K/91). Using current and stockpiled resources, 2:50 is the duration I get as well. Unless some nice reactive or avian spawns with both high OQ and DR, most docs will probably be hitting the same duration as this on Valcyn.

Your buffs should sell well. You may need to market it though so folks are aware.

Look to be about what I pay for.. I get a little less power in mine tho on bria. Duration is the same... Yea ppl like the duration.. normally if your fighting pve the duration is what you want because if your fighting anything that takes you down that far your probibly not fighting the right things.

Another thing might be the fact that your making Master Doc only packs. Granted that there definitely are alot of Master out there, once you start a Doc business you should have in mind that probably alot more than 50% of the people who will visit your store are going to be looking for 90 or lower med use packs.

A suggestion I would make for you is to start making at least one of those packs med use 90. Don't know if you're a 12 points Doc, but at 91 med use you will only need 1 experimentation point to lower it. So you might take it from the uses if you have used one there. And if you havent, I think that even if you take one point out of the power of the 912 you will still have a 900+ power with a 90 med use. So thats still pretty good.

As for the price, I think thats very cheap for such a high quality pack. Of course, it all depends on the economy of each server, but right now in Bloodfin 900+ packs sells from anywhere between 30k and 45k. And they do sell.

Just my 2 cents.

Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.

Nice packs Dafim. And great prices. As I'm sure you know, even when you factor in the difference in charges, yours are significantly cheaper than mine or Billy's.

I wouldn't worry about the duration. There's no one beating you too badly there without a significant sacrifice in power. It's nice to have Hexo gas, but not essential...

Since you already have a good location, I'd say you need to market better. Think about what sort of Docs you're targeting with those packs... If I were a starport buffer, I'd want to buy the cheapest, closest to 2400+/3hr+ packs I could... And remember that only 10 to maybe 20 percent of the people that play the game also read the boards. You need to market to the other 80 or 90%.

There are a number of ways to do that... Advertising on the planetary map at a minimum -- then maybe stims with coords on the bazaar and a barker droid... You could even send emails to docs that you see out plying their trade, perhaps with your pack stats and asking where they currently buy packs.

Hope that helps.

I buy packs in sets (one of each stat) on lowca - something like 3.5 hrs 904 power, 33 uses, med use above 90 (don't pay attention to that stat because I'm mastered). For a set of buffs I pay 130k from my usual vendor, and 190k from the vendor that I go to when that one is out of stock.

By those prices, yours seem very cheap

Here is what I would do if I were you.

1. When you craft your pack add your vendor location in the Schem of the pack.

2. Raise your price to 20k. At that power/charges/duration believe me the docs buffing for cash will make 3x what your charging.

3. Go to coronet and send emails to docs that are buffing for cash. Add your waypoint, stats and price. Don't bug them with tells. Just title your email with the buff stats and price. Believe me they will love you for it.

4. Add that doc to your friends list and add the word DOC as their group. You dont want to be a pest and email the same doc over and over. So before you send the email check your friends list.
