Curious what others will be charging for a crate of the "NEW" 4x longer droid batteries.
The pre-publish crates I sold ...went quickly at 12k a crate(25).
I just made a factory run of the "new" batteries at 97% effectiveness and was wondering what you all thought I should sell them for...ballpark area.

Well, it is kinda a tough point; raise prices to compensate for selling a fourth of the batteries, or keep it the same to keep the regulars happy. Personally, i dont like raising prices on these non-droid items, as I can get undercut easily by a novice de. And losing business hurts, assince they're buying batteries they probably dont need a droid. But then again, if brandy lasted 4 times as long, or were 1/4 as filling, i bet their prices would shoot through the roof. So, yeah, I'm gonna up a crate of5 bya grand.Seems fair, they get a 400% better battery, i get an extra 20%. In my humble opinion....

I don't look at batteries as a profit item. I look at them as something that people need. If you ALWAYS have stocked what people will need, they will come to your vendor. They come to your vendor, they may buy something else. Even if they themselves don't buy something, they may tell their friend about you.

The old batteries are just as useful as the new batteries. What was changed was how long the droid stays charged through the use of a battery.

I'm sticking with my 100cr/charge pricing. No reason to change it.

Whoa! I'm selling a 25x4 crate for 5k on Sunrunner, and they move ever so slowly. What am I doing wrong?

I move them fairly well at 200cr/charge,I dunno, maybe Bria is 'rich'. Well, 250 now.....Maybe make smaller crates at the same price, and stock them alongside the larger crates, some people dont want to pay for a 4 month battery supply at one time. Personally,I hate Sam's Club. See if that gets them to move better. I figure, if they want more, they can just buy a few crates.
