I've heard people charging about 2K creditsfora 10 chargeSeekerto put them in line with the old BH vendor price of 200c each. I've been charging 1200c each as an introduction sale price to draw customers but I've started charging 2K to even out the flow of sales.

Arakyd Probe Droids have 5 charges but since you only need one per mission, or so I've been told, I'm selling them for 2500c each.

2000 for a seeker, 2500 for an arakyd.

Mind you that is what I charge, it doesn't mean it has to be what YOU charge.
(Don't want to be accused of price-fixing now do I)

_Personally_ if I were a DE I'd either not offer the new droids or price them too high until the stocks of pre-patch droids sold (however I'd also reduce the price of the pre-patch ones, probably to the old vendor prices)

Since I'm only a Merchant however I've settled for just not buying any of the new ones for my vendor until I've got rid of the old ones (which have been reduced in price)

Having said that I've seen some pre-patch seekers for 3k on the Bazaar on my server - I dont know if the seller isnt aware of the changes or is trying to rip off the buyer hoping they will think its a post-patch droid.

I made 200 seekers and 100 Aradky droids for a customer and he quit! i'm now stuck with them and now they are now almost totaly worthless because they don't have charges!!! this game is really really sad

I sell them for the same price as the old BH terminals used to.

200 Seeker
1000 Probe

So the final price is 2k for a 10 charge Seeker and 5k for a 5 charge Probe. Its a good price. Its fair. We make money on it and the BH's have things back to normal.

I made over 30k off BH droids just today.

Ah well I'll raise my prices then, no need to undercut everyone else that severely. I did notice my seekers sold out very quickly at 800c. I'll probbably raise them to atleast 1800-2000 range.

I was charging 800C for them when they were single use and haven't changed my prices even though they're now 10 charges. What is the general going rate for them?

1.5k single seeker or 7.5k a crate.. Probes go for 2k single (havent make a factory run of these yet, dunno how many come out in a crate.. I would assume 5 but you never know...)

For right now, I'm getting compliments from BH's that I have a good price at 1000cr for seekers. But there are not many DE's in my area, and rarely are there any other then mine on the bazaar. So my thinking is that at 1k each, it may entice BH's who are from other cities to spend the credits to travel. Probes run 2500 though, that seems like a good price/profit to me.

I makea killing selling seekers for 500, and arakyds for 1k.

I get so many orders it's great and I'm making a lot of money. Since I'm not quite Master DE yet it's easy to grind out the arakds and get great XP for them. Especially I get orders for large quanties from a lot of people. Since I have 3 factories I can make a zillion GP units.

Once I get to Master DE though I probably will raise the prices since I don't want to spend all my time grinding. Or I'll just have my apprentice do it.

I'm starting to roll in the dough! yay!

I'll bet you're making a killing.

You're selling seekers cheaper per unit than I can sell raw resources. You really need to learn a lesson from the architect pricingproblemand raise your prices now before people start expecting those prices instead of just taking advantage of you.

I wouldn't ever charge less than 3c per resource, which comes out to about 550c for a seeker. I originally settled on 800c per seeker because it would give a profit without being excessive.

Architects undercutting each other and selling below resource cost is how they got into the dismal situation they're in. I'd rather avoid seeing that with droid engineers so even though I think 2,000 is excessive I'll charge that if it's the going rate. Afterall you see weapons that take ~50 resources going for 10k.

I was talking to Mr. Moo...

Selling seekers for 500

Personally, I'm selling at 1200 per seeker and 2k per probe
