I think there are about to be some price wars on slicing...

You're doing things all wrong if you're buying upgrade kits individually. Go out and find a supplier to make crates of them for you. It'll cost you a whole lot less. I pay 100 credits apiece for mine plus supply the copper.

Well i'm charging 1.5k per slice. I pay only 50cr per wukand 3cr for copper. Someone told methat i was ruining the mkt by not charging 2k per slice. Resources and time should determine the price not some arbitrary number.

Kaileed,

You are not ruining THE market...they meant to say you are ruining THEIR market. hehe Seriously, charging 1.5k is not "ruining" anything. You are making a profit still...if the other smugglers cant keep up....well that's where their hostility will show I guess.

You, people, obviously do not value your time.

Those that charge anything less then 4K per slice, get a clue. You can make more by simply running missions. Without the hassle of scrounging up resourses, shuttling back and forth to your harvesters, hunting down smiths for upgrade kits, and wasting time shouting ads hours at a time to attract customers.

I was charging 1K when I had Slicing II, 2-3K with Slicing III. Now I charge 5K per weapon and have plenty of business. People do pay extra for convinience. And for 100% success rate.

Yeah, I'll probably raise prices myself as the skill goes up. I'm at 2 currently though and many of my customers still pay over what I'm askin. Starting at 1k is a good way to get a stable customer base.

It hardly takes any time at all to gather resources. Now it would take a lot of time if I got 90 metal every single time I needed a slice but I dont do that. hehe You buy EVERYTHING in mass. You spend hardly anytime at all with crafting then. You just need to discover the joys of factories if slicing is "taking too much time."
