I am a de 3333 now and i made 2 r2's at a medical rating of 110 today. So i started to ask around for prices to sell em at, no DE's around so i ask a few medics. The price range is from 7.5k to 20k so far and some bugger was selling medical r4's for 20k too. The price lists on this forum are not working, so the obvious question is how much are these babies worth?

The economies vary greatly between servers. Im on FarStar and regularly sell medical R3 (110med/chem crafting station/storage) for 35k, but some servers are a lot cheaper...its best to find another DE on your server and see what they sell for. Another thing to do is regularly visit other droid vendors on your planet and see what they charge, i normally do this every month to make sure my prices are accurate.

I know but on my server in one shop an r4 medical rating 80 odd is selling for 20k, whilst i asked a master de and he told me he sold r2's with 110 med rating for 12k but was making a loss because he didn't care about money. Another person said you could get them for 10k the last he heard whilst another de said he sold r4's with medical rating 90 for 14k. Can you see my confusion? lol, i don't want to lose money, in fact i want a profit because i could simply use my combat droids and pistoleer skills to do missions and make credits at the same time otherwise. At the same time i don't want to be greedy and overprice my droids either, it's sheer madness i daren't even advertise my droids at the moment in case i get it wrong lol.

I'm Master DE, on Farstar.
I sell adv R4 with 110 medical + 10 item storage + Food crafting station for 20K.

When I was still lower level, I was selling R5 with 55 or 65 medical module on the bazaar for 5-6K.

Those sell fast.

Only Adv R3 I sell below 60K are entertainer droids, and now with the ID changes I'm thinking of making them the same price as others.

Adv R3 is like an heavy harvester, or a compo armor. It is the best we can do, it's not supposed to be cheap.

Instead I do lower droid for lower prices.

This way I have a coherent price chart, lowbie droids with lowbie modules are affordable for lowbies, lowbie droids with high module are a little more expensive but affordable by most novice in any elite prof, and the high end droids with high end modules aren't cheap.

I used a bit of initiative and went in to coronet medical centre and did a bit of roleplay as the local medical administrator. I asked the various medics there what thy would pay for an r2 with medical rating 110 without a crafting station and 15k was the general consensus. So i have decided to plump for 14k as my magical mystical number as my server infinity is rather light.

Assuming base R2 only the medical ... I charge about 17k on Intrepid (my alternate anyway)
