Thread: Price Check: Suicide MSE and R3 Droids
Kassuf I did some of the original tests with the bombs and posted the damage results. Xadius and Joras are the ones who did the testing for me. Also Deathfire has quite a few of my R3 bombs. Any of those 3 would be happy to tell you about their testing.
I sell MSE's for 3-10k and R3's for 50k
FYI, I posted a question on the BH boards just to get a feel for what they are willing to pay.

Right now my vendor is stagnent with about 100 of MSE/ADV MSE w/ 18/36 ratings respectively. I sell the MSEs for 4.5k and the ADV for 9k.My crates of 10 go for 40k and 85k respectively. I can sell them on the galaxy vendors and I might get lucky and sell one a week. My 51 rated R-3s go for 55k, 24 rated BLL (yeah, I had too, and you know you would love to see it!:smileyvery-happy
is 60k. None of these (r-3 or BLL) have moved, period!
I can't figure it out? Maybe there aren't any MBH/Smugglers on my server.
.....Or I'm getting seriously under-cut by someone! (*creates lipstick-list of know MDEs who sell droids for a loss*)
I gotta go do somthn............yeah, DE stuff....very important!

The first suicide droid I sold was an R3 with a power of 52 I think. I placed it on my vendor at 1k so it would sell fast. I wanted feedback on the damage potential. Well, it sold, not too fast (I really need to advertise) but the owner somehow misused the droid and it was lost (I'll re-read the email)
The next set of suicide droids were placed on my vendor at a slightly higher price . Suicide R3's (56power) for 50k and10-crates ofMSE Adv (38power) for 25k. The R3's never sold and after 30 days, so I relisted them at 40k. Several crates of MSE's didnt sell either, but I gave 30 ofthem away plus1 R3 to a Bounty Hunter friend. I think he hurt himself with the first MSE he tried
What are the odds that I chose prices so close to yours? Great minds think alike I guess
I sell on retail, 4K per Adv MSE, and 3K per MSE for 50 orders (50 for 150k).
My only problem is I will run out of tolium sooner or later at those price, and probably sooner than later.
So I also do Single module MSE for 2K, with a rating of 17.
As I wanted to see them, I reached novice smuggler to test them myslef.
35 rated model does about 6K dmg in PvE, 600 in PvP (1700 dmg base).
17 rated model does about 3K dmg in PvE, 500 in PvP (don't remember the base).
Test in PvP were on different person, so kind hard to tell.
Master BH aren't usually fond of them, because they can do big dmg.
Non master is a different story, people use them in PvE for big stuff to have the advantage on the enemy when the fight start.
Also, I noticed that even if lots of BH know about those droids, lots of smugglers don't.
There is some education to do there.

Ithink I'll hook up some bounty hunters I know with MSE Adv. suicide bombs, and a few R3's (bomb and harvest) for free. Askthem to show off the goods when they're around the BH terminals, starport, etc since I cannot demonstrate them or educate players myself. That might renew some interestin these droids.
Give a few for free is a very good way to do it.
I made a demonstration to a friend. He asked for a few to give to his BH guildmate, followed an order for 20, then ano order for 50.
I personnally call them Boom droids.

I talk about education, because as most droid, you not only have to explain that they can have droid that explode, you also have to explain how to use them, to group with the droid, put him on chase and use the /detonatedroid command not described anywhere from a not too far distance.

I think demonstration and education is an excellent way to promote these, so I totally agree, give some away or ask someone to test one for you.
I hadn't sold any for a while and was in my shop when aBH came in. He bought someseekersof the vendor and even though the exploding droids are clearly labelled he didnt buy any. I asked him if he would test one for me and he blew up something small outside. We had a giggle and he promptly rushed into the shop and bought a crate of 10.
I have nearly been giving them away, at 10k for a case of 10and 500 for a single just to get the interest in them. I already have one loyal customer that is spreading the word One more to follow, my friend that is a smuggler he has yet to pick up his order, he will be suprised to see the Mouse Bombs in his bag
I am also planning on going to Theed to show case them
