Thread: Prices on the new builds?
Nice round number, not too dear, not too cheap..
As far as the repair packs, they appear very similar to Medic Stims i quantity and rarity of resources, so I would have thought a repair pack B will be the same cost as a stim pack B on your particular server
30k? **edit**?? your starving yourself
my probots already are 55k, and all pre-nerf droids with all crafting stations with 10 item storage are 175k... and ppl BUY THEM..
what do you sell a crate of batteries for? 2k?
Even tho we NOT popular, or even a largely played profession we still need to keep up with the jones' .... c'mon folks there are weaponsmiths charging 150k+ for a gun just because they can... and guess what.... ppl pay that!
Its a dog eat dog world out there... and if your offering the best, make them pay the best!

Just wanted to get a feel for how people are intending to price these probots. Now..im sure that there will be split opinion. Some might suggest a price reduction due to armour nerf, some might suggest a price hike to reflect the new damage/speed. Tell me what you think. 2 points first:
1)please include some sort of comparison with what you charge for current combinations/modules/total builds so we can see your thinking.
2)give a break down of how your resource-needs/component-needs/time invested/droid effectiveness changes are reflected in your price choices if relevant.

personally I think they have become harder to build and associated stim-costs/time invested need also be reflected, but Im still considering exact prices.

My prices are ALL spreadsheet-driven... I dont bother trying to generate a static per-unit cost.. since many factors govern manufacturing costs.
My spreadsheet is available to anyone that asks.. Simply send me a PM containing your e-mail address and I'll send it out in the evening mail.

Er..But you can kill things with a gun
My pricing is done through a formula that takes into account things like subcomponents and required factory runs. On Starsider I've been charging 16k for an advanced probot, 20k for a surgical droid, 30k for an R2 unit with Medical/Crafting/Storage, to give you an idea about our economy. I seem to be right around the middle.
After running the numbersthrough my spreadsheetI will be raising my advanced probots from 16k to 25k. Droid Repair Kit - B's without advanced sub components will run about 850cr.

Geez... a fellow DE on Chilastra put his first 20 advanced probots up today for 60k, and they sold out within 15 minutes, he said. He then said he was bumping the price to 75k, and he still sold five more.
Me, I heard that and went to Theed with my crate of five advanced probots I made... no one wanted one except a Wookiee who offered me his old probot and some weapon repair tools for it... 
I'm selling 18 charge 1147 repair Bs for 3k, and 13 charge 103 reconstruction As for 2.5k... not that anyone has bought one.
I am on Corbantis and i Am selling My R3 units for 100k and Selling them!
People know my vendor will be stocked and i make steady custommers evryday
It's a matter of figuring out what kind of investments you made into this thing..
i got 6 factories running since sunday to make those droids available today
That's a lot of ressources, power and maintance you know..
So i think charging 100k is pretty fair. And until the Hype on those droids don'T drop i'll keep them at 100k
it's a matter of demand/offer
lot more demands then offer now so price is high!
so 100k for R3 units
and 50k for a crate of 25 batteries with 4 uses each
Repair kits will go from 5-20k depending on lvl
same for reconstruction kits
There are my prices
Have a pleasant Night all!
