I've always been intrigued that a BH would start a discussion with a DE about the prices on the BH specialty Droids and use the argument that they lose money when they need to use them to move up the Investigation line. As if the BHsaying that he expects to turn a profit while climbing his skill tree is something that's going to ellicit alot of sympathy from a crafter, most especially a DE (how many MSE'd have you sold today).

Perhaps the expense of the BH Droids is just part of the requirement of climbing the tree.

And as stated before, anyone selling the BH Droids for 2cpu or less is just plain silly and will not be in it for the long term without raising their prices to reflect the hassle of mass production. So while you may move to that lower priced DE when you find them (even if it takes alot of soul-searching for you to make the move), don't be surprised if you can't regularly get the stock you need and eventually have to move back to the "higher priced" DE. Time costs money, if you want the DE to spend the time to maintain stock on these items you need to be prepared to spend the money.

And to answer the poster, I sell mine at 1800/1 Seeker, 3600/1 Probe, 8750/5 Seekers and 17750/5 Probes (I also offer slightly larger discounts for larger orders). And I do sell enough Singles to want to keep some in stock at all times along with my crates.

Just a further note on previous posts: while some may think that a discount of crates is warranted (and in Blue's eyes required) also remember that on the flip side the DE may be seeing that since crates reduce the load on your inventory they should actually charge a premium for them. So getting the crates at the same price as singles is not the worst thing that could happen to you.

I think I should just create a word doc so I can cut and paste this (since this thread comes threw several times a week it seems )

Seekers 1.2k Single 5k a crate

Probes 2.5k Single 10k a crate

I also sell a few more on the bazzar (for advert pourposes more than anything else)

Seekers 1.5k

Probes 3k
