I have a feeling I need to raise prices. Here's part of my current list:

Components (this is mostly loot and some crafted):

Level 1-3 5000
Level 4-5 8000
Level 6-7 10,000-15,000
Level 8-10 15,000-30,000

Chassis:

Starter ships (Z-95, TIE-LD, Scyk) 20,000
Tier 1 (Y-wing, TIE-F, Dunelizard) 40,000
Tier 2 (Y-wing LP, TIE-IN, Kihraxz/Kimogila) 200,000
Tier 3 (X-Wing, TIE-B/TIE-I, Ixiyen) 300,000
Tier 4 ships (A-Wings and Rihkxyrk) 420,000
Heavy (ca 95k mass) fighters (Scyk, TIE and Z-95) 680,000

Mining stuff and missiles:

Mark III Mining Laser 100,000
Tractor Beam 250,000
Large Cargo Hold (fighter) 100,000
Mark I Proton Missiles/Launchers 1000/2000
Mark II Proton Missiles/Launchers 5000/10,000
Mark III Proton Missiles/Launchers 12,000/25,000

(The whole list is on the website in my sig.)

Am I charging too little? Most of this comes out to 10 cpu.

Well, my Bria prices went up last night. Mark Vs are now lsited at $100k. Mark IVs 70k-80k. Mark IIIs 40k-50k. Mark IIs 20k-30k.

Missiles and such are priced differently.

If they want us to pay $15mil for a skill tape, then the cost is going to be returned to the customers who are jacking up the prices on the skill tapes.

Amen.

Don't blame the seller...it's the buyer that sets the price. Blame your fellow shipwrights for paying such outrageous prices for skilltapes in the first place.

Well, when the min is listed as 15 million, I hardly see how the buyer is at fault. Sure, as all the super rich SWs get their complete set of crafting STs, the prices will surely fall, as most refuse to pay that much. Now, if the mins were lower and the price climbed to these crazy high levels, then yes...it is then the fault of the buyers.

I charge 20 cpu for all consumables (missiles, countermeasures, repair kits) and 30 cpu for all hand crafted components (which is then 225k for mark V items). Chassis cost either 5 cpu with ginding resources or 30 cpu as well like my hand crafted components if ordered with premium resources.

And I still cannot craft as fast as people buy

I saw in the bazar and by shopping around that I seem to be the only one in the whole galaxy with a stocked shop, I guess this could be the reason

How much do you folks charge for un-RE loot? (Or maybe you don't sell any?)

-Bloodfin-

I charge 20 CPU for all my Components and sub components (sub-components ad 50% onto the price of the item basicaly).

Missles I sell at 20 CPU and if they buy a crate of 5 they get 1 free.

I dont make chassis plain and simple. Burned out the last of my grinding ones for 1.5 CPU i think it was a while ago.

I sell All Purpose Component Repair tools at 5k for about 9500 points, (about .5 credits per repair point which i belive is cheeper than stations) And they get the same deal with missles, crate of 5 = 1 free. (thise sell like frickin hot cakes!)

Oh, and if i get a firespray I typicaly sell them for 5-7 mil and it comes with a full load out of components of the buyers liking.

I also buy All space loot at 1.5k per RE level. (150% the chassis dealers pay out)

Guildys get 25% off any custom orders.

When ever I get around to actualy making components they sell out within 1 or 2 days. I might get back to making alot of em soon tho as I am getting low on the Mula, (23 mil left)

Simple, when the min is too high, don't bid on it. If no one bids on it, the seller can either relist the item at a lower min, or not sell it at all. Again, blame your fellow shipwrights for taking the high min bids. No one is putting a gun to our heads and forcing us to pay 15 million for a skilltape. I could list a +25 shipwright skilltape for ahundred millioncredits...that doesn't mean anyone is going to buy it, right?

I recently raised some of my prices, mostly for the Mark 4 and 5 equipment.

The mark I, II, and III sell for 10k, 20k, and 30k. This keeps it somewhat cheap for the new pilots and gains me a customer that will buy parts as he goes from novice to master.

dam, ok yup, definatly raising prices....I'm talkin top quality resources and now that ive seen this thread im gonna raise em (not much, but still gonna go up). 999 OQ radioactive....1000 UT iron....best steel on server (bout gone)....only thing the WHOLE server is lacking is fermonic ore....with that our mark IV engines could be over 100 speed, over 61 YPR. the fermonic ore going around for the past few months doesn't even get half bar on overchargers, and ore is the rsource for speed and handling

In the Radiant galaxy, I'm probably the #1 shipwright with 17pt weapons and engines and I use the best resources available. Sales since RotW have been around 20m a week.

My pricing structure is:

• Mark I components 15k
  
• Mark II components 35k
  
• Mark III components 55k
  
• Mark IV components 75k
  
• Mark V components for 100k
  
• Firesprays for 8m
  
• Other chassis blueprints for 5cpu
  
• Droid chips at 5k/level
  
• Consumables at 10cpu
