I (think) I charge a little on the high-side - but I deliver too, which is why. I charge 10k/crate of booster blue, neutron pixie/muon gold - the rest I charge 8k or 11-12k if its a special order. I also give quantity discounts.

The prices are really up to you - some people think my prices are high - others love the fact that I'll deliver them if they are in battle or something and need it right away.

Keeps customers coming back.

Post Publish 17 anything not Pixie is worth crap. Spice stacking is gone and will kill the spice market. If you havent yet set up your business, DON"T. Save yourself the 500k credits in resources, factories, vendors and the time it takes to start a business. Sorry to be so gloomy but we got the nerf bat AGAIN and i get grumpy after someone beats me senseless

Yeah, if you're selling at less than 1K a hit, you're doing yourself and your customers a disservice. While we don't have to pay out for awesome resources and all that, do keep in mind that soon in order to sell spice, you'll have to risk NPC BHs coming after you. Which WILL drive the price way up. Going from 25K a crate to 50K a crate isn't that big a deal for most people... but if the price jumps from 5K-10K per crate to 50K... that's a lot different, and people are going to get sticker shock. I'm in favor of easing the consumer base into it with a price hike now, especially since they easily get their money's worth, even without stacking.

I agree with him ^^, spice is almost needed now post-CU so its worth more. Even after Pub 17 depending on who you are, you will still need either Muon, Neutron, or Booster. Neutron being for a combatant, Muon for a doc, and I forget what Booster would be need for. So I would keep that in mind if your thinking about starting one up. Like I said earlier I sold about 1.5Mil worth of spice the other night (first time thats ever happened to) and about three of the spices that sold wern't one of the three listed here so thats all about spice stacking. But we will still have 3 spices they should sell even after Pub 17 goes live.

When eventualy that spice will be smuggled instead of crafted, it will be a LOT harder to get large quantities in... Not only are we doing a mission per crate (hopefully that much even!) but we can't set our factories on to make it while we sleep! When the smuggling system hits, spice prices won't change... AT FIRST... Slowly, but surely the stock of spice (un smuggled) will dwindle, and once it is gone, and smugglers have to bring it in, the prices will SOAR. That's why I ran off a large supply, and I'm gonna' stockpile it until the prices rise, then sell it all for a buncho' money. I suggest you all do the same... Unless your on Bria... Cuz then you would ruin my plan and I'd hate you... The end!

Ya man,

Stackings gone. It's not in the notes probably because it wasn't working as intended, and now it is. Simple as that.

I put some up at 10k...then glanced at the vendor search. MORONS on valcyn (that i am sure respeced made the spice then respeced out) are selling for 1k a crate. 1k a crate! That isnt worth my time, resources, power, and factory...sigh. I cant wait until respec is over..it's one thing to make some for yourself. But to flood the market and screw people that actually use this profession is stupidity.
