Currently making a nice profit... However:
Vendors going empty faster than I can restock... Not enough SW's to buffer the demand...
Time, precious... Tired.. So very tired.... \
Crafting until I get carpal tunnel... *click* *Click* *CLICK* *CLICK*!!
Other SW's charging MUCH more thanI do for = quality and seeing their vendors sold out too...
Having to bite the bullet and buy more of the best radioactive since I ran out- very expensive stuff...
As much as I don't want to my prices are going up.

I hear you. I try to keep a few token things on my components vendors. Kits, missiles, and other consumables are easy, as we have factory support for that. However, everything else is custom order at this point and I can barely keep up with those.
I love RotW

I try to keep two of each level items on my vendor for engines, shields, caps, reactors and weapons. Need to work on getting more armor done, but there just isn't enough time. I see a lot of people running around with the SW tag, but don't believe to many of them are actually crafting. I have noticed that crated missiles don't seel as well as single ones, apparently noobs don't know to look in the crated itmems area. Only my regulars know to look for them, which allows me to keep a nice stock of missiles for the regulars. Have to admit, I've had to start using the ace pilot tag more to cut back on the unending tells that prevent me from getting anything done.

Curious, what everyone is charging now. Presentyl, I'm charging $10k per tier level. Tier 5 stuff for $50k and such. Is this low, high or pretty much the average?
Thanks

basically im chargine 150k per component for mk5 stuff and I sell out faster than I can put it up. I happen to also be the best SW on the server also, so ppl know to expect the best components around.

I've been charging 130k for mark 5 stuff using the server best resources. Probably gonna be hiking that up to 160k, I need to redo my pricing scheme from top to bottom.

holy sh!t on a stick batman....we're also considering a price hike. We sell our components at their level +500 credits for subcomponent use. level 7 = 7500. yes, we are the cheapest on the server, and we got some dam good sh!t (some of the best, if not the best). master cert ships at 500k....man, and i hear someone selling level 5 components at 100k on server and they are frickin sellin out....nevertheless im pissed and gonna raise prices a bit

i raised my prices. So boring to craft chassis and to harvest all the time. I use to sell 1 cpu.
Now i offered 3 cpu.
Andi focus on comp and RE. and sometimes spend a while to craft x wing (people eat them?) and Advanced tie.

You are selling top quality Mark IV components for 7500 credits? That is 2cpu. You must work your butt off harvesting resources and crafting. You would make better money with less effort just selling the resources.

Whoa, you're selling top quality stuff that low? Definately raise your prices, you're not going anyone any favors by selling too cheap. You'll burn yourself out soooo fast and consume your resources too quickly to survive until the next good spawn.
