I had an old excell sheet that i used as refrence 18+ months back, but i cant find it for the life of me. Has anyone found/made something to help rough out prices for meds. I sell the full range of supplies now, but I never really know what I *should* be selling them for.

The question of what the market will bear is, of course, server dependent. However, I really work the question the other direction.
I have a standard set of prices that I pay for my resources (and a fairly steady list of names willing to supply at my prices). That makes determining my costs a lot easier. I calculate my resource costs to produce all of the meds that I regularly stock, and add in my standard profit margin and then round to an appropriate number. I find that this nearly always yields prices that are competitive on Flurry (500credits per dose for buffpacks for example). The only way that pricing works for me is I know and control my costs. It takes time to establish the network of suppliers, but after that it runs pretty smooth.

I have made an Excel spreadsheet listing all the components and resource requirements, and have each of the resource prices in a separate sheet that can be changed and automatically update the cost to manufacture a single item (has multiples of 5, 10, and 50).
I'm not very web-savy, but would love to see this online where folks who don't have Excel can load the sheets in a webpage and put in their own costs and play with the numbers. If anyone has the capability or incline to learn how or do this, please let me know via forum email and give me your email address and I'll be happy to send to you.
