I tend to like the idea of free, however I've been thinking about free and leaning towards not doing it for free. If a person wants a Level 10 item Re'd, that item is basically costing me a sale of a Level 9 item. I'm considering charging the cost of what my particular level item is for this service because I now know this person with the Re'd item won't be buying this item from me, instead using the Re'd item.

I charge 5k per level. It pays for my time and generates good will, plus once I even got a firespray disk out of it.

I ended up doing that RE for free - hehe.

I know of others who charge 10k per level.

I used to charge 5k per level, but people would get upset with me when I quoted the price. But like the above poster said, I'm doing myself out of a sale when I RE an item for someone. I'm doing REs for free now to see if it'll generate more business.

I dunno. I guess giving away 2 Firesprays isn't good enough. I'm still considered greedy when I try to keep profits above operating costs. Maybe I should just craft my ass off for a couple of days so I have killer selection, and sell those items for 50 cpu like "the largest shipyard in the galaxy" does.

I have to admit my jaw drops when I see some of the prices out there. To each his own.

I don't charge..I just don't feel I need to. It only takes a couple seconds of my time. I always keep at least one RE Tool on me at all times...so I don't worry about it. All my money comes from crafted items sales. I make more then enough to keep myself in business off of that.

Bored of the Grinding. Taking a break for an unspecified period of time.

/cackle

if you crafted your ass off for a few days, you'd be charging those rates too. Loss of gameplay time doing other 'fun' things to make lots of product means customers will pay a premium for it.

I have many satisfied and happy customers that found all they needed at my shop and didn't have to waste time searching multiple shops. For them, they are willing to pay a premium for that. Others are not and are willing to travel around the galaxy for hours to save 50k.

i do it for free.

takes less than a minute, creates a lifelong customer who will buy my other things....and the RE peice will eventually decay. the loot since 11.4 is rotten, so its not likely to be replcaed by another RE'd part.

I have a question.

If you did a RE & were lucky enough to receive a Firespray fragment....

1) Would you tell the person you were REing for?

2)If that person was paying, would you give it to them then, as they are paying for the service?

Not trying to peeve anyone here, just curious to see how it is handled. Thanks
