Question, my fellow Rangers.

I've got a Ranger shop I'm setting up (well, have set up, but factory availability has been limited), and I'll be carrying crates and singles of every kind of camp, as well as crates of various traps. I'm wondering what you think are fair prices. Right now, I'm figuring about 750/camp for High Tech Field Bases, taking off 50-100 creds for each lower camp until we get to the basic ones, at about 200 or 250 each.

Am I overpricing? Underpricing?

Traps would be a little cheaper, of course, but the same thing there.

Any advice?

Thats a tough call since there isnt much competition. At those prices I'd buy them just have it. Just remember when doing pricing that since your includinghide and bone count those parts as at least 10cpu and the metal at 5cpu. And give yourself a healthy profit. Which is sounds like you did. Im about to be in the market for a ranger supplier on Bloodfin for all the camo kits and probaly the normal field bases.

The following is the baseline cost, considering the materials used for organic is 3 cr ea unit and inorganinc is 1 cr ea unit. For camo kits the cost is set to 5 for organics as those reqiure hi OQ to get use # up.

CAMPS
Basic........... 45 ea
Multi-Person.... 84 ea
Enhanced........126 ea
Hi Quality......140 ea
Field Base......215 ea
Hi Tech FB......285 ea

TRAPS
Adhesive Mesh... 80 ea
P-Dart.......... 70 ea
Glow-Wire....... 75 ea
Sonic Pulse.....120 ea

CAMO KITS
Lok.............300 ea
Endor...........300 ea
Yavin...........285 ea
Dathomir........325 ea

Relative price tends to corrilate with time needed to build so factory cost adds another 5% at least. This should be 10% for the field bases (thier time is doubled). You can try a bit higher ( what the market will bare) but going below is flirting with thin margin.
