Can't help with with Ahazi specifically, but I base my prices on:
1. supply and demand. if items are flying off the vendors in mass quantities, you may be too low and vice-versa.
2. what i pay for the resources. for frames in particular, i pay about 2:1 or 3:1 since i don not mine. I then charge 5:1 for all my ship frames expect the firesray, and the high mass variants. those driven solely by supply and demand.
3. what the competition is charging on average. that is what the other major shops are charging. not so much a very small shop with very little inventory that is underpricing a few items.
hope this helps

You should also be aware that chassis are not fast movers or big money makers. The money in SW is in selling quality components and consumables like missiles. 5 CPU would be about right for a chassis on my server. That is only because most of the grinders/respecs have burned out and moved on. I charge 20 CPU for my components so I do not make chassis except for guildies and special requests. I lose money on them.

Are you a pilot as well?
I found it really helpful that I've done a lot of flying and know what I'm after. Then I kind of try and see what everyone else charges for that (the vendor search is great for this) and consider:
• How much did it cost me in materials/maintenance to get the stuff to make it
• How rare are the materials
• The material quality
• Would I be happy paying that price
I think I'm a pretty average joe consumer for these things, and have a good idea what I'd be happy spending.
That helps me come up with a price.
Saying that, I'm not going to stock chassis except by specific request from guildies and friends as for the amount of resources it takes you can make so much more that will sell much better.
So far I'm doing well on missile packs and mid range capacitors and weapons. Being a pilot also helps you know what the quality of loot components is next to their crafted counterparts and that helps you see if you can actually craft a competitive item.

I charge 3,5cpu for chassis, with the exceptions of Master Fighters, Firespray & Heavy Fighters.
For parts:
Mark 1: 20cpu
Mark 2-5: 10cpu.
On Capacitators I break our Resource Kits, and they cost extra.
Ammo I have in 2 version. PvE & PvP (3x cost, due to high quality)
