Why do you come here and ruin a post with your childish ways?

If you didnt get enough love as a child it isnt our fault, we didnt make you by accident, and throw you to the wolves.

Didn't mean to cause a controversy over whether this post belongs. I wanted to get DE opinions, so I came to the De forums. Interesting that the price differs so much on so many servers.


Yes, I used quality resources and took my time.

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm rather new to the forums.

This is where you discuss advice on your profession AKA droid engineer. Price checks are SUPPOSED to be done here. I sell mine for around 40-45k on Naritus and mine have max HAM





Jeassa said

Please do not use this forum for trade purposes. If you need aDE for something then ask on your galaxy trade forum. If you want a price check use your galaxy trade forum. This board is here for the discussion of theDE profession.




Who's this person anyway, and why is this person's opinion being used to harass our fellow craftsman?

Nah....I was just tired and busy.


The reason I handed you the star is that I found your method/tone of posting to be confrontational, adversarial and unproductive. This isn't the GAT boards, man.

I won't let it get that way...so what you do there, you won't be doing here.



........................believe it.

i would say between 40k-50k depends on your server. And what other DE near you are charging.

But those DEs might be under/over charging.


I'd recommend you do some market research but only use that as a guide, not a "rule".


I try to price droids based on their actual 'value' to the user. I mean...if you sell a Med/buff bot to a Doctor for 50k, just think about the amount of money that it will ultimately bring in for the Doc.

My Doc buddy can make well over 100k in a few hours of buffing. All of a sudden, a 50k Med/buff bot starts to sound like an incredible value once you consider what IT will make for the user.


That perception (or reality) of value-after-the-sale is what you should weigh when you choose pricing. Of course, that being said, you have to conscious to charge what the market will bear (or just a bit more...if you like to push the envelope).

What RealTK said is right, it depends alot on local economic conditions. I personally sell maxxed out ones for about 40k apiece (though I think that's sort of cheap where I am).


And Anaken, this isn't GAT so don't post stuff like that here, plz.

i sell mine for 75k, but tk is right charge wut u think the value is to the customer, i also factor in my time to make the droids and the value of always having a full stocked vendor ALL the time.

Respectfully,






This is exactly the point---its perception of value that should set the price, plus a healthy regard for the market (server) you are in. Price guides are of little value from different servers..just don't underprice..weap/armour smiths don't so why should we for a virtually permanent money making tool.


So thats settled then
