Thread: What would you charge for this droid order ?
Doh, I misread your first post and thought for some reason that you were making a total of 25 droids. My mistake ![]()
The total comes to 350k, not 420, so I'd probably go ahead and charge him 320k or so. And you're not making 9200cr per droid, you're making 11,500 cr, which is a bit better ![]()
well his excuse was he's buying them for his PA.

15 R2s with 110% medical
5 Surgicals with 110% medical and Food/Chem crafting
At least 309,000cr ->
15 R2's: 34.3k per
5 surgicals: 13.2k per
Total: 309,000 cr
Note: the above assumes basic models, not advanced models. The prices per above are also base prices -> no modules.

well my other pet theory is the guy is reselling them at a higher price since I was selling them so cheep. That was his second very large droid order from me.
I would have to agree with that - he can only use 3 (5 if he is a droid engineer) ... and even a large PA probably wouldnt need that many droids. I bet if you look around, you'll find a shop with his name on it and your droids in it. He can say that he made em too ... no names are visible on the droids as to who crafted them currently
Uh my math may be a little fuzzy at times but my calculator says that 15 times 34.3 equals 514.5 so I'm still confused on how you got 309 without a major price reduction that you did not state.

My bad - that should have been 16.2k on the R2 ... 34.3k is for the advanced model.

Just to add more humor/insult to the situation, I should add his final offer was 185k
Thats because if you charge what i told you too - he'll have trouble reselling them
However, this might not be a bad thing - perhaps he would like to be in the wholesale business... that might not be a bad idea. You can just make him stuff when he wants. he pays up front. Then its his problem to get rid of the stuff. This is exactly why manufacturers sell their stuff to wholesalers and not directly to us.
258,280 Credits (using Adv. schematics)
209,750 Credits (Using Basic Schematics) But I don't do Basic, only sell Adv.

Oh ok, just wondering, I figured it might be something like that.
Would it be nice to line up all those customers and make a direct profit myself? Sure. On the other hand he is making the purchase all at once and freeing you from running down clients.
