I have no clue on what to charge for these. Someone told me that he's pay 40k for crates fof 25. Frankly it seems like a lot of work for so little price but i dont know DE prices. Anyway, is this a fair price ?
I got them to 10 uses per seeker to, assume thats decent

They are all the same, 10 uses on a seeker. Resources and exp doesn't matter.
They only come in crates up to 5.
I sell mine for 5k a crate of 5, but that can vary by the server, ususally between 5-10k is right. Yes this is very cheap, but the prices get driven there by undercutters because quality doesn't matter.

I charge 6k a crate for them, those run up to about 12k.
I would check around on your server and see what most people are sellnig them for.

I charge 10k per for both. Until they fix the stupid infinite seeker bug, you will see slow-ish seeker sales. I will be shortly incrementing my prices on these up, 1k at a time over a couple months, to try and reach a 20k price tak.

Yeah prices vary a lot but i think 5k way to low so i slowly put mine up to seekers 10k and arkayds at 12.5k they still fly of so waiting for CU and then may incease slowly to a point where they move nicely but are under control a bit more easy.
Saying that loaction and how well known youare, also needto be taken into consideration.

On Sunrunner, Seekers go for about 5K a crate and Arakyds go for about 6K a crate. It seems low but if you figure up the CPU on it, it's not a bad return, and BH's will buy 100's of them trying to get to Master. I had a MBH tell me last night he was on his 246th Jedi kill, and every one of them was found by one of my droids.

I have had to drop my prices from 10k for seekers and 17.5k for arakyds to 7500cr a crate.
Damn you Gobal Vendor Search!

I agree that 5k and 6k is pretty cheap, but a while back somebody was selling them for 2.5k each crate. This pushed all the prices down, and with the GVS, there is no hope of raising them.

Here's the thing: If you price both the seeker and probe crates at 5 cpu, you're making good money since you can use crap resources. And if you look at the schematics for both, the seekers actually take more resources than the probes, so marking them more expensive than the seekers is kinda strange.
So I just sell them for 7.5k/crate for both and that seems to make it worth my while to make them. I feel bad for the poor BH's who are pretty much at our mercy, so no price gouging from me.

Seekers take 172 resources, Arakyds take 173. Arakyds also require an extra factory run over Seekers, so pricing them higher is not unreasonable.
