What's 30%?
We really shouldn't let the serect out but we all know it to be true. A 30% slice be it speed or damage just cause the weapon's mechanics to perform at it's optiumim. The action move more shifty and smoothly, the barral to have more accuracy, the stock and grip to fit perfectly. This give the weapon an hundread fold increasement to power,creating an Uber L33t weapon that every smuggler should charge 100k for.

I charge 5K per slice on intrepid server. Had someone tell me last night ask if I could slice his stuff, I told him my price and he was like "thats high...should be 3k". I told him that some people charge 10k and that I thought it was a fair price, then he said "whatever come to the starport and slice my stuff" I told him that I was busy and he could take his "whatever" attitude and go find another slicer. I try and be nice to most people but he was a real jerk, so I don't need his business.

I charge 5-10k on Intrepid. If the people insult me or if i even dont like how they look i will either charge more or not slice at all. I still get people knocking down my door for slices.

I'm charging 7500 creds per item for the normal players and 15k per item for the holo-grinders that ruin the economy. Before I even say if I'll do a slice I check their bio and if I see more than 10 profs mastered I jack that price right up.

I've been charging 5k as well on Radiant and I agree with you guys on this. But how do you guys handle noob weapons? I mean I can't consciously charge somebody with a 3k DH17 5k to slice it.....Any suggestions?

Well, being the nice smuggler I am, if a noob comes to me wanting his first slice, I'll usually give it to him for free, but only AFTER checking his profile. Don't want to get scammed out of a free slice.

Hi, I just mastered smuggler about 20 minutes ago and within seconds got a /tell asking for stuff to be sliced, however, he didnt trust me because I didnt know a price to charge him. Can someone please tell me a fair price to charge for slicing?

Whatever you think your time is worth. 
Seriously though, search out a few more smugglers onyour server and see what they charge, then decide. Every server varies, so it's hard to judge right off the bat. I myself charge 6k per slice flat rate, no reduction for bulk. Some people charge 5k, with a price break after so many items. It's up to you really, and how much you enjoy doing it.
I'll tell you one thing right now though, don't wear your Master title if you aren't in the mood to slice, as you will get more tells than you can keep track of.
