Wildly differing prices depending on your server. Best bet would be to go to your servers trade forum and ask for a price quote. On Starsider I normally sell mine for 1k credits a charge.

I see them on flurry for 500/charge, and have even seen as low as 200/charge.... IMHO that's ridiculous. Vehicle/Droid customization kits, and batteries too, while cheap to make are some of the few "depleting" items we sell. Generating re-occuring sales, and providing us with income. I think 1000/charge on a single unit on a vendor is a fair and reasonable price for characters that can make 20-30K in one mission. A battery charge should last for almost the entire time of whatever buff they have.
Vehicle customization kits also go for ridiculously low prices on flurry. I've seen as low as 100/charge... terrible... never going to make any decent money that way.
People should be more than willing to pay, 100, 200 up to 500K for the really good droids! It's not like they are EASY to make! sheesh.

i charge 500/charge for mine. If they were a repeat sale item, I'd probably charge more, but they aren't a repeat sale item. most people give up painting their droids after a handful of tries just like they do with vehicles. I almost never see repeat sales on these things.
even at 500/charge, the 100 that I made have been sitting on my vendor for 3 months. i sold4 million credits worth of advanced probot combat droids in the same time.
shoot, i get more repeat sales on 500+ combat rating probots than I do on customization kits.
IMO, you're never going to make decent money selling customization kits of any sort at any price. the only reason I sell them at all is so I have something to point to for those few people who do want to paint their droid.

Damn, what is wrong with people?? They go out on 30K missions, kill all those things, make huge wacks of cash, and they won't pay 500/charge to paint their droid or bike? that's like PEANUTS to those fighting classes that can make 200K+ in their 3 hour buff.
I like painting my bike so I know who's is who's when i'm travelling in a group and/or in town. Painting my droid is just a symbol thing... gotta havethem matching my clothing
I tried to sell a crate of 20/3use droid batteries for 10K (that's 166/charge) and the medic (with a visible droid) didn't want them!!! like holy crap! (i checked, didn't say they had mastered artisan) If i didn't want to make droids so much i'd give up this profession right now, as it certainly is looking like I am not goin to make money with it!
maybe we can use droid/vehicle cust kits as advertisting... make a bunchand spread them over the bazaars on all the planets?! hehe

I do 7 or 8 charges custom kit.
I sell them for 1K.
I've seen them for 250 (per custom kit, not per charge) on my server.
It does sell, not as fast as BH droids but it does sell.

People need to be reminded that 1 use from a custom kits lasts 50 calls, not only 20 like the origional paintjob.
Label your Custom kits
Droid Paint kits - lasts 50 calls, 10 charges!!
Then sell em for 1k a charge. They will move.
The problem is that people think their customs will fade as fast as the first one. 1k for 50 calls is reasonable then.

Hum, that's up to 10K for a custom kit.
People don't even buy droids at that price on my server...

Well the 10 charges was an example, I think mine are 7, I don't really use good stuff for them. I actually don't mind if they are lower. I wont sayI sell a ton, but they do sell for 1k a charge.
The real problem is that no matter what you charge, somebpdy who just ground out DE for the Jedi grindwill probably be selling them cheaper on the Bazaar.
On my vendor, I just think it's more a matter of people having the money and 10k being small change for probably2 months worth of color.
