On flurry I charge 10k per slice.

for bulk it varies, usually around 3-6k.

The moral of this... charge what you think is right.

If people can pay millions for a weapon or armor they can pay alot for a slice.

If the weapons crap... then a lower price might be necessary, so ask to be paid after slicing and then determine what you think you should be paid.

Since you are a new Master Smuggler, I would suggest you start at the generally accepted average of 5k per slice. Once you see a big increase in the volume of slicing requests, you can start raising your prices.

Personally, i start at 5k and go up depending on how many words people spell with numbers and caps in the middle...

My prices are as follows.
5k for imperial/neuts
25k for rebels
+5k if I dont like your name (I.E non-roleplay/retarded names)
+5k if you are just plain rude
+10k for the use of AOLism (u, ur, ne1, and so on)

Have made alot of money off slicing so far.

5k for the general public. No discounts for bulk.

0 for good friends or a really new player.

10k and up for idiots, arrogant arseholes, and shmucks.

The more they argue, the more they pay to get their item(s) back.

One guy made it to 100k. He paid.

On Chaemera the price seems to have evened out at about 10K a slice.


Most of us "professional" smugglers charge this.


I view it at paying for my time, not for the slice. As such I will give my time willingly when I want and charge through the nose when I don't.


I often charge nothing for those who roleplay getting me to do a slice, and have in the past demanded 100K for some prlck who demanded I did him a slice there and then... note the w@nker paid too hehe.


Do not let anyone tell you what to charge, you charge what you are happy to do it for, no more no less.

5k per slice for anything under 10 items... over 10 items it goes up to 10k per slice...


also depeneds on my mood... if its the 30th /tell i've gottan since walking from the starport to the cantina in coro then the price goes to around 100k per item (my jaw dropped when someone said ok i got a new set of comp armor)... or if i'm on the middle of nowhere on dath it'll cost them more...


or else if they make me laugh (watch a lizard giggle thats funny), or they are friends its free...


so as of late i've been going around naboo/cor with a random title on... just sick of /tells...
