Thread: how many droids come in a crate
Probots come 5 in a crate and can vary between 50-250k a droid, depending on your server and how good the droid is.
Bomb Droids depend on what type of droid and how good they are as well, about 80-100k a droid for the good ones.

How much do Probot andBomb Droids run per crate? Estimate please.
As Straker continuously says, this depends on your server's economy. For Bria, I charge 150K for a 547-rated combat probot. I also charge 90K for a 56-rated R3 Detonation and 25K for a 39-rated MSE Detonation. What I did was determine the costs of my resources, then figure out how much it costs me to build the droid (resources, factory, etc). After that, I calculated how much I wanted to make in profit. Then I used GVS to see what the market was selling them for. Turns out, my est price was lower than the market so I charged what the market dictated and I take home the extra profit. I didn't want to under cut anyone and reduce my potential profit. I just advertise on the forums.
The DE 101 guide has a good section (written by Straker) on how to go about pricing. There are a number of things to take into consideration, so it's a good read to get you started until you figure out your own system/prices.
