I have been a ranger for bout a week now, and i have taken several contracts for resources. I know prices vary by server, but could anyone give me a general idea of what they charge for certain resources? Is avainmeat from one planetmore expensivethan avain from another? What about bones and hide and milk?Also, does anyone ever need fish, shellfish, eggs?

Most of the time if its a Contract the buyer will give me a price. Usually 5-10CPU for mediocre stuff.

I tend to charge 2-3CPU for junk stuff on my vendors

and anywhere from 10-50CPU for excellent resources ( also requires a high demand ).

Every server is different of course and I also make my prices higer if its something that is a pain to get say like Tattoine Avian meat. Kinda one of those things you have to learn what the market is.

Here is the best advice I can give you on resource pricing.

Charge what ever you think time collecting it is worth to you.

This is a game, and we all play to have fun. So when you find a resource type less fun to hunt for make sure you charge more. That way it will at least provide you with some credit to do other stuff, that you do find fun.

I harvest Herb Meat fordoctor friend of mine and in exchange he gives me some stim-d's or whatever the ones with 1k plus healing per charge.

I like to run my business and sell stuff through a barter system. I'll exchange weapons i've bought for things others have bought for diff profs etc. I like to barter and trade rather then stock up hordes of credits

Subsequently I have lots of stuff and not lots of credits

But its more fun for me this way

As meantioned, low quality stuff, gets a price of 2-3 cpu. Learning professions use it for grinding. I roleplay my ranger so if a learning crafter comes and asks me for something to practise with, I usually give it for free. voila' I have a customer for life as long as I stock what he needs. I have started asking crafters again for lists of what they use as it has all changed. Nice to have a friend that cangive you access to a vendor as well.

Every few days or once a week I survey planets for the upper end resources.

End up on a quest in the wookie world with a group? take all the resources, even if bad stuff just for "good will" to learning crafters.

Upper end resources, hides, you watch your OQ and SR for example, see those above 900...go for it call your ranger friends. Should net you 20-50 cpu minimum.

As meantioned, tat avian meatbeing good is a curse and charge double...lol.

Get yourself lists of what is being used. There is usually always something on that list with OQ over 900, and secondary stat high too.

Okaaay... it's not a hard and fast rule, but I work along these lines, roughly...

Junk stuff I harvested while out killing things anyway. 2cpu. Break it into 1k, 5k and 10k stacks and bung it on the bazaar. If it sells it sells. If it doesn't, well, I'll pick it up when am passing maybe.

Nice stuff I harvested while out killing things anyway. 5-10cpu per stat over 900. Bung it on the bazaar, stick it on my vendor. I'll probably collect this stuff if it does't sell.

REALLY good stuff, with the right stats away up in the high high 900's? Well, depending if I like you, or need something, i'll maybe give it to you in exchange for meds, weapons, armour. Or I'll sell it for whatever you're asking if I happen to see something on the auction channel / trade forum.

"That stuff". This covers Tat avian, Rori avian, and all those other PIA resources. Offer me 500cpu and am STILL not going out for it.
