Droid Engineer Archive

I am new to the Droid Market and I am about to reach Master DE.

What are some of the Avg. prices for the droid deeds?

Prices are all over the map, depending on your server, your planet, and your market.

For instance, I've been selling Basic BLLs at 50K, someone else mentioned selling advanced ones for what sounds like under 40K, and someone else mentioned selling one for 300K.

It really depends on how badly the DE needs money, sadly. De's that can't find a market charge little, De's that can afford to wait sell fora higher price. I make a good amount selling them on my three vendors, and I never sit and just shout out advertising or I'd make more. I sell BLL's for about 45k, Advanced probots with all high end mods and armor for 35k. Just depends on what you can make verus what you can sell. If you find you sell a lot of one droid, charge more and lower the price on another to see if you can build a market for that one.

advanced probots for 35k!!!! holy, ive been on the wrong server.

ours go around 15-20k. I sell adv probot with lvl 6 med mod, 40% resist medium armor, and food/chem station for 20k

My price is the same as Eric's for probots. I sell the BLL's for 50k.

Heh, I sell standard probots with low level armor for 15k. I am gonna re-vamp my prices now that I have made master....

Sorry, I should have provided more info. I am on the Bloodfin server on Tatooine. I also am a Master Architect,Master Artisan & Merchant (3-4-0-4)

Thats what my probots go for as well and Im on bloodfin.

I am on Chil, and although I do not get many requests for Probots (think I have sold about 8-9) I sell them for 25K with 40% medium armor.

I try to stear people towards the R2 unit, because it holds a lot of modules, and you can stick a lot in it. I sell these for 25K as well, and add a little to the price depending on what Level of Modules I am putting in it.

Personally, I base my prices on a combination of the amount and rarity of resources used, number of available modules, and what level blueprints is required to make them. Thats the base cost, then I charge for number and level of modules.

Base prices are as follows:
BLL 40K
Adv R3 35K
Adv Protocoland Adv Power 30K
Adv R2 and Adv Probot25K
Adv Surgical and Adv LE Repair 20K
Adv R4 15K

Then I simply charge 1.5K per module up to level4 and 3K per level 6 module (for the special resoucres) and for crafting/repair.

Notice I only sell Advanced models? That because I make the frames by the crate and have them ready, and I crate the modules, perc chips, etc. This way, I can custom-make anything in 5 minutes with the customer right there. It really impresses them to make very specific deamands for a droid and have it ready just how they want it on the spot. Then I give it a paint job (if requested) and away they go, praising your name and referrals galore. It makes them happy and on most occassions I get a tip for the "rush" order. Impulse buying is the core of DE, else the customer finds some junky non-adv Probot on the bazaar made by a 0-0-0-3 DE for 3K and thinks he made off with a heck of a deal, finds out it takes two bites from a newbie mob on the city limits, and never buys a droid again.

Its hard enough to make droids, so you might as well do it right.

I sell Probots for 18k, Adv probots for 23k plus modules. So a Probot with Food-Chem and 110% medical is 33k. All of them are with max armor.

I sell all of mine on a fairly linear scale (calculated from resource cost/rarity as well as factoring in factory costs and parts outside the profession). All of my droids are on a base cost, with each module being an extra 1k at level 6 (note, all these are regular versions of the droids, not advanced unless otherwise specified).

R4: 3k

R5: 3k

DZ70: 3k

Treadwell: 3k

LE repair: 6k

Surgical: 7k

R2: 8k

Probot(adv, price includes level 6 armor): 10k

Protocol(adv): 10k

R3: 12k

BLL: 30k

Many think this is too low, but I have no problems finding resources, and I still make somewhere around 8-10cpu off each of these, and I fill a lot of bulk orders for PA's. This is on tatooine and naboo on the Tarquinas Server
