Insert customer who ordered a DZ70 with 110% Med Mod and hasn't picked up from vendor in a week...

Me: So can I sell the DZ70 you ordered to someone else, or would you like to pick it up?

Customer: No thanks, I found the same one for $1,800.

Me: Ok man, but you might want to remember that we made a deal. I crafted you a droid, and now you are backing out. All I ask is that you don't contact me or refer anyone to me for droids in the future. I prefer to deal with those who live up to their end of the bargain.

Customer: What's the big deal man, just sell it to someone else!

Me: Well the deed has your name on it so that no one else would pick it up off the vendor. It isn't a big deal, all I ask is that we not do any further business. Thanks!

Customer: (No response)

Me: Oh by the way, what does the Medical Capability Rating say on your new $1,800 droid?

Customer: 55, what does that mean?

Me: It means you got hosed... (Insert explanation of med mods)

Customer: Oh, well can I buy the one from you then?

Me: No thanks, I just gave it to a newbie medic in the Med Center. He was far more grateful. /ignore

"Can I buy a mouse droid with your best medial modue hella cheap?"

Why is it that we always get these folks?

LMAO! I still remember that clown man. Not to mention he asks that in the med center. Too funny...

Scuddbacca, send Querkus an in game email with that guys name so I know who NOT to deal with. By the way, for the most part I am using your pricing guide on your website as my guide to price my droids so we keep the economy on that server more stable.

Cheers.

Will do man. As far as my pricing scheme goes, I just took the current prices of the DE who was totally gouging me and knocked off a healthy percent. I didn't care to pay quite that much for droids, so I just became a MDE! I generally knock off some for medics and friends, and I actually don't do a ton of droid business either. I make a ton of money daily just from mining, so the droid thing is really more for fun than anything.

Once Nolhta reaches master status (shouldn't be long now, unless he misses one of those javelin's...) I will probably start referring some of the business his way if he wants it. Unfortunately, SOE has made droids so borked that it just isn't worth my game time (when I am already making a ton of creds mining) to spend the time it takes to sell one. Sad but true!

Time you spent grinding to where you are now: 2 months.

Money you lost making a DZ70: 3000c

The satisfaction of making some smuck feel stupid: Priceless

Hehe, nice one NiteWolf! Nolhta, if you ever need resources man, just give a shout. I have stockpiles of everything you could ever possibly need for DE. Not to mention I don't charge 8cpu!

Priceless.

You might as well send me his name too while you're at it.

I've got the resources to grind up to Master if I really wanted to. It's just that it's that really nice Badawiap Carbonate steel that was around last week and I'd hate to grind it. ....not to mention the nice stack of Duralloy that I seem to be accumulating this week....the sad part aboutthat Duralloy is that a better one appearedlate last night. Jeez ....we don't see Duralloy for a month+ and then when it rains, it pours. I know what caused it to appear too. 2 days earlier I bought 2k of it at 8cr/unit because I was down to my last 1k of it. Oh well.

Anyway, thanks Scuddbacca for all the stuff you've done for me over the past month or so that I've known you.
