I was told by a bounty hunter that single use BH droids were selling for

1300 Probe
600 Seeker

Now how much?

6500 Probe(5)
6000 Seeker(10)

Direct cost scale? 6000 a piece? 3k 2.5k? Like to know what the going rate is so i can price them fairly...

The Yak guide says
Probes 3000
Seekers 1700

Maybe that is a good price now?

Thanks!

It does not cost us any more to make them. I will just be charging what I thought was a fair price from the beginning.


1000 per seeker.
2000 per proble.



Now when my supply of extrusive gets low, then I'll have a problem.

Originally, BHs bought their droids from the BH vendors for 200/Seeker 1000/Probe. This seems an appropriate pricing model for our new multi-use droids.

Seekers (10 Charges) = 2000 Credits
Probes (5 Charges) = 5000 Credits

Or, in Crates of 5 (which is the only way I will sell them -- (Why only 5???)):

Crate of Seekers (50 Charges) = 10000 Credits
Crate of Probes (25 Charges) = 25000 Credits

-X-



The 1st 10% of the code takes 90% of the time; the remaining 90% of the code takes the remaining 90% of the time.

the prices the BH Droid vendors made it diffcult for them to make a profit in fact is was near impossible to make a profit at the lower levels. its better to sell below those prices..

doesn't cost us that much to make and when we factory make the memory and GP modules not that much time.


with permadeath gone.. this is our only true repeat business..

And this is were competetion will turly be at..


1500 for seekers 3k for probes is the highest it should be

I'm going lower though, 1k for seekers 2k for probes. I aproximate i'll make about 15kk a day off them.. at first then lower prices.. this is where the fun begins.

I've been selling them for 300 and 1.5k respectfully before the patch, and will more than likely keep those prices. These are just business draws for me a lot more than they are money makers.

3000 Probe
1500 Seeker

Seems to be the excepted price... I checked in the BH forum and they seem to agree this is a fair price... Guess that is the starting point.

1500 for seekers here.


No probes yet though. Seems I didn't bother to pay attention to the town I set up shop outside of as there doesn't appear to be BH terminals or trainers in Moenia, so I am not expecting too much business.


If business does pick up, then of course I'll throw on probes.

2k seeker
2.5k arakyd

Seems like a good price to me, if I sell out to quick, I might raise a bit.

(Sold my first batch of 25 seekers in crates in 3 minutes, so... maybe it's too cheap)

I've been selling Arakyds for 1000cr and seekers for 500cr. I'll keep them on my vendor at those prices for now. If business drops off I'll be forced to raise my prices to compensate for the higher costs of keeping them on my vendor for longer periods of time (3.2% / day maintenance charge on total value of inventory).


I think 2000cr for Arakyds and 1000cr for Seekers is fair.

I personally charge 2k seekers and 5k arkyds now, exactly what the vendors sold for, and exactly what it takes for it to be worth my precious time.


I don't sell a LOT, and I don't intend to for now, I feel it would be wrong to use the money I've made now that I'm almost a master DEto undercut my competition, and sell at a break even price, or at a loss.


For now at least I'm happy to let the novice DE's make the seekers and Arkyds at a sleightly cheaper price and earn them selves some much needed cash and XP, I only wish that was available when I was "groiwing up."




I apologise for the name, I made it way back in week 2, when the CH's were insanely powerful, and as such the less savory people in the community all flocked to novice CH ('cus back then at novice you could control any pet, and they all got Rancors). Now the CH's fit very well into the overall system and as such the jerks and griefer's have moved on to bigger, better things. (Usually bounty hunting.)
