10k per Crate of 5 Arakyds

12k per Crate of 10 Seekers


Note: I don't expect to make much on these, as they are 'loss leaders' for things like bomb droids, Space stuff and other products. I use them solely to get people coming back to the shop.

I don't want to get into any big debate here. My philosophy is that everybody has a right to charge what they like, provided they are not subsidising their business with another source of income. I sell at the lower end of the scale and I do so on a CPU basis. All my additional costs - factories, speeder maintenance, vendors etc. is factored in by a doubling of the base costs. Profit is then a doubling of that value. It's just my way of working. It's not because I'm stupid or don't understand business or anything like that, I have my reasons for selling at the prices I do.

I get on well with other DEs on my server and I certainly am not putting anyone out of business with my way of doing things - case in point, Crustyfur has entered the DE world on my server and seemed to be doing very nicely last I spoke to him (actually, it's been a while - I've been away a bit - how are things going now?).

Selling by CPU only isn't silly, it's just different. In fact you contradict yourself, you say pricing by CPU is silly and then justify it by talking about the price of avian meat - in CPU!

My use of the CPU of Avian meat only shows tha value of the Droid. The Droid paying for itself so quickly at even a higher cost should be part of the pricing. Not adding what the Droid can do for the owner into your pricing is what I consider silly. You said so yourself, that is not a factor for you. Meaning that Entertainer Droid will sell for just as much as that Harvest Droid. Even though the harvest droid will make it's owner a lot of money.

I know for a fact that the Docs paying 250 CPU for that Avian meat will be charging a lot for the buffs they sell, and it wont be on a CPU basis.

How do you get 10 in acrate of Seekers, I believe mine always come out in 5 of crate.

I sell mine for 8k and 4k. Probes to seekers respectively.

My other question is does anybody else see this regularly: When ever the items drop off my vendor, someone always comes in and buys 2 to 3 of what ever is falling off. It looks weird cause I will have about 30 emails of Aution Unsuccesfull and about 5 of Vendor Item Purchased.
