You asked for it......
My standard stock includes:
*Combat Droids: When you need killing done.
-Probot Devastator - 3200 HAM, MAX Armor, Damage 180-190 every 0.75 Seconds 0.41 to hit. The best damage droid available. Price 80,000
-Probot Obliterator Supreme - 3200 HAM, Max Armor, Damage 178-188 every 0.75 seconds 0.41 to hit. Price 70,000 This is an older model, it will no longer be stocked once supplies run out.
-Advanced R3 (Attackbot)- 4500 HAM, Max Armor, Damage 159-169 ever 1.5 seconds 0.41 to hit.A Perfect droid, they don't get any better. Price 80,000
-Beginner Combat Droids - DZ70 - Max Armor, 200 combat rating. Nice for new players to learn how to use a droid, and have a friend. Price 25k.
*Tank Droids: When you don't want something killed, but want something tanked while YOU kill it. Great for grinders or ranged professions.
-R3 Tank - 4500 HAM, Max Armor, 1 combat module so it wont run, 99 (some have 100 now)Auto Repair power from 5 repair modules so it repairs itself while it tanks. Price 80,000
-LE Repair Droid Tank - 6000 HAM, Max Armor, 1 combat module so it wont run, 39 (Some have 40 now) Auto Repair power from 2 modules, it has more HAM then the R3, but repairs slower. Price 80,000
* Harvesting Droids - no more losing Harvest while you fight, he will Harvest while you fight, plus you get about 15% more harvest using the Droid. Must have Novice Scout to use. The way that a harvesting droid works is how much extra Harvest you get is based on how much higher the DROIDS skill is then yours. So if you have really high Harvesting skill, you want the highest droid possible. When your dealing with 100 cpu meats, every point matters. DO NOT GROUP THE DROID, HE WONT GET AGROED.
-R3 Harvestor +110 version - 4500 HAM, MAX armor +110 to Harvesting from 6 Harvesting modules. A simple macro stops 90% of the running away. Price 85,000 That one point does make a difference, especially at higher Scout or Ranger levels.
-R3 Harvestor +109 version - 4500 or close HAM, Max Armor, +109 to Harvesting from 6 Harvesting modules. A simple macro stops 90% of the running away. Price 75,000 (This droid will no longer be stocked when supplies run out.)
-Non-Running Harvestors - HAM varies depending if you get the R3 or the Probot version, Maxed Armor. Will not run away. +91 to harvesting from 5 Harvesting modules. Price 75,000
Stopped stocking the lower level versions, they simply were not selling.
*Trapping Droid - You BOTH can trap at once, so you get double trapping xp. The Droid traps better then you do.
-R3 +114 model - High HAM, Max Armor, +116 to trapping skill from 6 trapping modules, Holds 49 traps. Price 70,000
Lowered price slightly, becoming more popular.
*Stimpack Dispenser droid - Holds Stimpacks that must be loaded by somebody with Medic Pharm 4, but then anybody can take the droid. A /requestStimpack command will heal you or group members.
-Various Models - Some hold more Stims, others heal faster, Price 70,000 Price lowered from 75k, this is a very nice droid, needs to see more action. A macro can be used to keep him healing you. You save mind by not healing yourself.
-Now selling more top of the line versions. Holdingover 500 stims with less then 1 second Heal time. This is more of a test thing, they take a lot of resources to make, I'm not sure how much of my top copper and steel, I want to burn on these. The high quality ones are going for 80k.
Depending on how each moves, and resource availabiity I'll see which ones I keep stocking.
*Merchant Barker Droids - Must have merchant Advertising 4 to use. Will bark out your advertisement, as well as give a waypoint. These droids cannot be squelched either.
-Various Models - Each also has a Storage Compartment to hold 10 Droid Batteries. Have a wide variety of models, prices range from 30k to 70k for the Binary Load Lifter Model.
Constantly adding new models. With the coming spambot nerfs, don't be left without advertising.
*Maintenance Droids - They work now, but you need to make sure you remove a structure from the Droid before you blow up the structure.
-Maint Droid - pays maint on 9 structures, plus has 10 item storage. These structures can be on any planet, also shows how much maint is aready in thestructure.I have MSE and Treadwell models. The treadwells look pretty cool. A great lazy mans droid, it is catching on. Everybody should have one, seriously. Price 30k.
DO NOT DELETE A DROID THAT SEEMS TO STOP WORKING IF YOU FORGET TO DELETE A STRUCTURE. KEEP CLICKING THE LIST OPTION, EVENTUALLY IT WILL OPEN. THEN CLEAR ALL STRUCTURES AND IT WILL WORK FINE.
*Medical Droids - A necessity for Docs.
-Many different versions, Max Med module, 10 Item Storage, Food crafting station, Stimpack dispensers. A wide variety of choices in chasis as well as colors,I add more types often. Prices range from 30k to 80kfor the Huge Binary load lifter medical Droid.
Added a wider variety of chasis to choose from.
*Entertainer and Musician Droids - Must have Novice Musician or dancer to use.
-Entertainer R3 - all 6 effects modules for a great visual show. Price 65,000
-Musician / Entertainer R3 - 5 effects modules and 1 musician playback module Price 65,000
Great droids, lowered the price a little in the hopes we get more "real" entertainers soon.
*Utility Droids - your do it all droid
-R3 - Maxed Med Module, all 4 crafting stations, 10 item storage. Everything you need in one droid. Price 75,000
*Detonation Droids - Must have novice Smuggler or Bounty Hunter to use. They deal about 150 - 200 damage for each point of detonation power. Don't leave that Jedi a brwath from death, wishing you had bought a better droid.
-Detonation R3 Ultra - 59 Detonation Power, plusMax HAM and maxed armor, so they live to get their job done. Price 85,000
Crates of these are available, 5 for 400k, you save 5k per droid. **2950 max PVP damage, can incap a Jedi in one hit.**
-Supermegabomb R3 - 57 Detonation Power, plusMAx HAM and maxed armor, so they live to get their job done. Price 75,000
Crates of these are available, 5 for 350k, you save 5k per droid. (this droid will no longer be stocked when supplies run out.)
-MSE Bomb 38 power- Price 8,000 each or 80,000 per crate. Made for those who cannot afford the others.
-MSE Bomb 39 Power - Price 10,000 each or 100,000 per crate.
I am currently mostly stocking the higher power droids.The high powered droids are so expensive due to the cost of Toilum gas, so if you have some, (all I care about is OQ, ) let me know and we can work something out.
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NONEEFOSTOUCAFENE TOILIUM GAS, IF YOU HAVE SOME CONTACT ME PLEASE.
*Storage Droids
-MSE - Max Storage (10) for just 20k When storage is all you need.
*Bounty Hunter Droids
-Probe Droid - crate of 5 for 6,000 recently lowered the prices.
-Seeker Droid - crate of 5 for 5,000
Always stocked, you never need to worry about me being out. If you want to bulk order, I can cut a deal, talk to me.
*Survey Droids - Must have novice Artisan to use, also you need a survey tool to use with them. They take about 30-40 minutes to report back.
-13 charges each, 5 in a crate. 15,000 a crate.51 quality means they will report back much quickler then lower quality droids. Much better then going to the planet.
*Power Droids - 65k each, also have 10 item storage. Great for recharging that Docs buffbot so that you get the most out of their buffs.
*Droid Supplies
-Batteries - crate of 25 for5 charges,Price 10,000
-Customization Kits -9uses, Price 3,000 each, available by the crate as well.Key thing to remember is after you use a tool, they last 50 times, much longer then the origional paint job. Recently lowered these prices.
-Droid Stims -40 Charges, power 1777 Price 3,000 each. They get cheaper the more you buy. This is my new stock, charges went up, as well as power. They moved ok at 3k, so we will leav the price there for now. 40 charges mean they last a long time. Charges dropped from 43 to 40, but the power went up some.
As silly as it sounds, Droid stims are the hardest things we make, which is probably why nobody else stocks good ones.
*Protocol Droid Chasis
-For people to use in making shuttleports. Price 10k
Space expansion items below
-*Droid Command Chips - crate of 25 for 20k.
-*Flight Computers - Level 1 FC is 5k, add 2500 for each level of Flight Computer, ending with 17500 for a level 6 version.
-*Astro Droids- Each has a data pad corresponding to the correct cert level. Since these are disposable until you get to level 6 cert, I am starting out just stocking R5 cheap units. If you want a different R series Droid, feel free to e-mail me. Prices start at 7500 for a level 1, then add 2500 for each level as you increase. I also have variations with maxed storage, add 10k to each droid for that. Again, if you have a special order or need, feel free to contact me.
*****Level 6 Astro Droids added, 3 new models in stock.
Lvl 6 Astro Maximus (R2) - Max Med module, Food crafting module, Level 6 data, Max Item storage, Maintenance Module. Price 65k. Get the most out of your Droid slot.
Lvl 6 Astro Crafter (R3)- All 5 crafting mods, plus levle 6 Data, Price = 75k Your ultimate crafter, plus astro at the same time.
Lvl 6 Astro Utility(R3)- Food, Weapon, Clothing, and Structure Crafting. 10 Item Storage, plus level 6. Price = 75k Gives a lot of crafting, data, as well as max storage.
Currently all the models look the same to meet demand, however, remember you can buy a Custom kits from my supply vendor as well, then paint it how you want, it will last 2000 calls.
-*Starship crafting Droids. I have a "Crafters Dream model with all 5 crafting stations, plus 10 item storage, for 75k. This Droid wont need replaced. I also have cheap MSE droids with A Starship crafting station and 10 item storage for 25k.
If you have any questions on how to use any space Droids or items, feel free to contact me, I will be happy to help.
These are my standard models, I always keep them in stock. Now if somebody comes along and cleans me out, I may be out that day, but I will refill it again the next day. Also if you want a special order, or want me to stock something else, please send an e-mail to "Atrella's." I also provide support with any droid I sell. Contact me with any questions or issues. Please read the descriptions on each droid on my vendor, they give needed professions and pre-requisites. Icannot take droids back once they are "called", simply because I haveno place to put or sell them. However if something is wrong (shouldn't happen,) with a droid, please let me know.
Thank youand I hope myVendormeets your Droid needs.

Absolutly fantastic post Straker. Super good info. You can really tell you run a Droid shop the way it's supposed to just based on the information you obviously give your customers. Customer education is the most important thing I belive in building a good client base. So many people don't know what Droids can do for them so they don't even look in our direction. You sir are a credit to our profession.
I am a brand new Master DE and am currently going through the phase of building up a good resource stock so I can make all the higher end Droid models and modules. After having looked at different resource vendors for 6 hours on three different planets and still not finding any Lidium Extrusive ore, I kind of got a feel for some well run shops and some not so well run shops. It got to be where all I had to do was open the door to thier shop and see how thier venders were laid out and know that I wasn't going to find what I was looking for here. Presentation makes all the diffrence in the world.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is make your shop interesting and well laid out, educate your customers and get out there and beat the bushes. Your level of effort is directly proprtional to the amount of success you will get. Obviously Straker has done a lot work to have all this information in such a clear and concise format. Thanks

Just as an FYI, there are people at the opposite end of this scale. My combat probe droids are 5k (about 2.5 credits per unit). Number wise, this is the same as the ‘probot devastator’ seen above. Basic MSE 10 item storage is around 800cr.
I disagree strongly with Straker_Atrella pricing suggestions and I will not get into another flame war about it. Find your own business model and enjoy the game.

I don't ever recall getting into a flame war with anybody about pricing, I am open to others ideas and am always willing to discuss them. You can feel free to one star me simply because you disagree though.
I 100% agree that you need to decide on your own business model. Is your goal to be the Droid Salvation Army or the Droid Goodwill, giving your product away? Is your goal simply to make money? Is it to make money, yet also caring about peoples droid needs and helping them?
I like to think that I fill the last one. I have many many happy customers who not only come back, they send their friends to me. People normally don't even try and haggle price with me, when I quote a price, they simply say, "whatever, that is fine." The fact is that to many people anything less then 100k isn't considered much money at all, especially when they are buying something that wont wear out.
Operate how you want, but I simply can't see any logic behind selling droids at 2.5 cpu. No other crafting profession sells stuff that cheap, nobody. It seems that DE tends to attract more charity crafters then other professions, the mentality of DE probably just attracts those kinds of people more.
What is the point of selling droids at 2.5 cpu? I can sell all of my total crap grind resources for 2 cpu, my good Copper for 10-20 cpu, my good inert gas for 30 cpu, my 1000 OQ fibro for 30-40 Cpu. I could turn around and simply sell resources, spending zero time crafting, and with no factory maint.
So yes my Droids are around 40-50 CPu, yet they are also the best the server can make. There is one other person on the Server who makes Droids as good, his prices are a little less then mine, but not terribly so. I stock more droids on my vendor then he does, so it all balances out. My prices reflect the value of my resources, my time, the fact that I am a Master, plus what the droid can be used for.
Already the fact that people can pay for my droid by running 3 missions (10 minutes,) seems pretty cheap. Making it so they can buy it after 30 seconds or work, seems crazy to me at least.
Another thing to consider is the "Image" of Droids. In the begining of SWG, Droids were kind of crappy, through the addition of new models, plus the hard work of DE's people are finally begining to learn the value of Droids. Even though it doesn't really make sense, people tend to compare price to worth. If they see Droids going for 800 Cr, it's not going to make them think a Droid is worth much. Sure some people like a bargain, but it certainly wont help the image of Droids much.
It's up to you what side of the spectrum you want to be on. I am not even the most expensive, there are those who charge over 100k for Droids. Determnine what your goal is, then stick with it.

I will bet 1 million credits that one of two things will happen to you if you continue to play SWG:
1.)You won't be an activeDE for very long with those prices staying the same (<6 months)
2.) If you stick with DE, you will raise your prices within 6 months.
If you don't, then you truely are the Mother Teresa of DEs ......... and will be 1mill richer
