Thread: Spice Prices
I just became a Novice Smuggler and i was wondering what all of you are charging for your spices? Specifically Grey Gabaki, Scramjet and Shadowpaw.
Also, i pretty much dont know how to survey or harvest, so can anyone tell me were I can get Vegetables or Reactive Gas, i cant find anything in the Bazaar terminals
I got the reactive gas, but i still dont know the others. Could someone please help?

I only sell Neutron Pixie and Moun Gold (havent stocked any booster blue, but I suppose that may sell, but I just dont see it being as useful as the other two)
I charge:
600/unit on the bazaar (you pay for the convenience of having it available when im not online)
500/unit in person up to 10 units
450/unit if you buy 10 or more mixed units
400/unit for a crate of 25 (10k per crate)
Of course, this is utilising the fact that any quality resources can be used in spice making, so its very easy to find the ingredients with very little downtime (thus the cheap price)
If it ever changes so the qualities of the ingredients makes and impact, then the prices will have to rise for the extra hassle required on my part.
Don't want to ruin your dreams, but you won't sell much spice till you get spice iv... I've tried and tried to sell spice but no one wants to buy anything besides muon gold or neutron pixie.
When I was trying to sell my shadowpaw, I charged 100 creds a piece though.
don't even bother putting shadowpaw/etc on the bazaar. No one will buy it, and it just pollutes the real list.
I sell all Spice IV spices for 700 on the bazaar or 10k for a factory crate. I sell about 10-15 each day.
I've seen prices from 400 to 1200 for Pixie. 700 seems to sell at a nice pace though with a good profit margin.
We need some price fixing...the OPEC of spices.
I suggest 700 each for all Spice IV spices... factory crates should get a substantial discount...15k isn't enough of a discount...I'd go for 12k a crate.
What's the current going rate for Muon Gold and Neutron Pixie? I've got some coming out of my factory in crates and need to move it, but at what price?
I try to sell crates of 25 NP for 20K and never get a buy, while I sell that same spice as singles on the Bazaar all the time for 1K per hit.
What do you think???
Starsider, at least, has had spice prices driven down to the point where I consider it a waste of time to sell them. Crates go for 5K apiece in my area, and I see top-end spices at 250-400 on the bazaar. I guess some people find this worth their time, but these days I only make it for myself and my PA.
Hahah, guess I'm sort of bitter about this, but I don't understand why people undercut this far. Between resource buying/harvester runs, schematic making, factory runs, then either keeping a vendor stocked or spamming spice sales in town, I'm sureyou can make more money running missions than dealing 5K crates on all but the largest of spice deals.
on Bria NP and MG go for around 5-7k a crate. I have also sold singles of both on the bazaar for 1k each, it was real slow like2-3 a week. Now I sell them for round 700 each on the bazaar and the move ok. That's still great profit. Tha bazaar singles sell higher cause it is useually a first time user wanting to try it out. The hard core users buying in bulk expect a discount. Least that's what I think...
