On the Bio Engineer forum they are discussing the selling of schematics and I thought it would be a great topic for the Artisan forum also. They were discussing if you sell them and how you felt about it in general. The selling of schematics is a practice that I follow. I break it down into two fees. Fee one is the schematic and fee two is for my expertise. I sell the schematics at twenty-five credits per unit produced and 1k per percent experimentation above 75%. This way I am being paid for my time, expertise, and talents.
1000 x 25cpu = 25k
Base quality = 75% After experimentation 95%
20 x 1k = 20k
Total cost of Schematic = 45k
I find that is makes me a nice side income anywhere from 300k-600k per month besides my other ventures. I even have a side-side business of building up resources and making an ok schematic with them and selling the schematic and the resources to make the end product to others. It is not detrimental to my business because of a loyal customer base and business diversity so I feel positive about the practice. If you are in a narrow line of product I would not suggest that you do it because you would put yourself out of business.

I've had a few x/2/x/4 Doctors ask me to make schematics for them because they can't craft it themselves but they have the resources, I get some credits there but it's not a stable money maker. Because players would have to use the same resources I have for the schematic(s) I don't see too many players wanting it

I generally only see this happen inter-guild. My guildies used to trade schematics all the time. It's a good idea none the less.

I've only ever made a schematic for someone elses use once. And I didn't even charge the guy
