Droid Engineer Archive

I have had some confusion over this... so I am going to post my price list, and hope others do the same. This way we can get some common ground on pricing. Here are the items I sell.

Crates

----------

Seekers - 6k

Akaryds - 8k

Droid Storage Compartments - 10k

Droid Batteries (100 batteries a crate, even though it says 25) - 10k

Frames

-----------

Binary Load Lifter - 75k

Protocol Droid - 50k

R2 - 25k

R3 - 30k

Probot - 18k

LE Repair - 18k

Surgical - 20k

( i dont sell other frames even though I am sure they would generate some sales )

Droid Deeds (all droids come with top level 6 modules)

----------------------

ADV Binary Load Lifter - 100k

ADV Protocol - 70k (comes with3 modules)

ADV Probot - 25k (comes with 2 modules)

ADV LE Repair - 22k (comes with2 modules)

ADV Surgical - 25k (comes with 3 modules)

ADV R3 - 50k (comes with 3 modules)

ADV R2 - 35k (comes with3 modules)

(I dont sell other droids because I find they just dont sell, i am considering the akaryd seeker though)

I might start selling for less, and start mass producing, or starting vendors on other planets. I am not sure yet, however the droids that get the most demand I do sell for less.

"Droid Batteries (100 batteries a crate, even though it says 25) - 10k"

Would you mean a crate of 25 batteries with 4 uses per battery?

yeah 4 charges each battery, but most people dont understand that

Well, from what I seen most won't put their pricelists on the boards. Prices will also differ between servers quite a bit. I started with a pricelist from a MDE on my server and I still go by it for the most part in an effort to not undercutt. I also do not sell low end droids, so that the new DE's may get some sells. I usually experiment with prices and find what still sells good and go with that.

Idont see why people are so scared to post thier price lists... I wont lose any business because of it. If anything I will gain income.

I charge whatever me and the buyer agree on. I have few package droids on my vendor and all are over priced (about 25cpu). They do sell too. As for custom orders i charge based on the trouble. Sold a BLL for 50k just cause they guy was nice. Some guy wanted crates of chassis and offered 100k per chassis but i turned it down cause pumping out crates of chassis isn't my thing.

Here is my dirty little secret though... I'm a 0/0/0/4 medic. I make millions off that one branch of a base proffesion. I make droids for fun. I'd sell at a loss to an excited noob and tell a guy wanting chassis in crates to take a hike.

When combat droids are introduced i will make a few here and there for nice people and tell other to take a hike cause i don't nee thier money.

I never sell BH droids. I make seekers with odd names that i seel as house decorations, but never in crates or for BHs.

i sell my crate of battery with 4 charge an unit for like 2000 lol.

I make alot of money off of crated bh droids, i dont know why you dont sell them. The way I make cash though is selling them cheap, but making hundreds at a time. And since I make them so cheap it brings alot of traffic to my shop in the way of customers advertising for me, which helps me sell higher priced items.

Iam going to start selling the lower level frames for 20k each... no one sells them, and no one has to know they are low level... the tredwell droid looks neat to me, and I am sure people will enjoy them as art in thier homes

Hate to break it to you, but the WED treadwell (along with the MSE, the DZ-70, the EG-6 and the R5) don't have chassis as components for the advanced versions... Can't do the art thing with any of 'em.

My BH droids are slightly cheaper at 5k and 7.5k, batteries are the same. Selling BH droids is a bit hit and miss although I am starting to see more regular sales of these. BH's prefer these droids in crates and will buy these over a single unit. As for the droids, I will keep that to myself .
