I somewhat agree with you, although I'm making a grip of em for my new casino/house of ill repute (/gasp) in a RP city

btw its easier to find a smuggler here than in the trade forums. thats why i posted it here.







BTW It's easy to read the stickies too, but morons like you just can't seem to. Take it to the trade forum, or shove the schematic in your arse. There's a reason why people are giving you high prices... it's to keep a dolt like you from coming back.




"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

DrevenStrobe, do you realize it take almost NO resources to make these and you want to charge people alomst 100k???????? Take a look at what you need here to make these...


Needed to make a Gaming Table

just incase you didnt know, you don't need much...
50 Metal
20 Mineral
15 Polymer


Over all u use 85 units of materials and you want to charge 100k?????? What a joke.







You're basing this purely on resource costs, and ignoring the value that I place on my TIME. Time is a Smuggler's most valuable comodity, and some just choose to undervalue theirs. I'm not one of those people...my time is very valuable.


And I said 50k-100k...so you also ignored my low-end price. I base pricing on a number of factors:


1) What I'm doing at the time.
2) What sort of mood I'm in.
3) Customer attitude.


If I'm not busy, in a good mood, and a customer approaches me with the right attitude, I'm just liable to give them a very good deal on my services...probably lower than my usual price.


If, however, I'm running through the starport and have to stop, or I have to re-schedule something else around a customer, or I'm having a crappy day, or a customer (like you) gets confrontational about my price, things start to get expensive. As it is, if I were dealing with you, that 100k price went out the window a while ago...you'd be up to around 150-200k per table at this point.


So, now, it appears you've got some other sucker to take care of your tables for the low-ball price of 25k, you can head on back to Bloodfin and return to your city before the other residents send out a search party for their missing idiot.


Thank you, and have a great day.

a) well that's what happens when you don't read or you DO read but decide you're too cool and we should just get over it.


b) that's what happens when you argue price with us.


c) I know this isn't you fujii but..."I don't speak greedy?" Captain of the debate team were we? I suckered some guy the other day to pay 200k for two blue couches. He came up to me. I found the architect. The architect didn't charge me. I charged him 200k for "her" time. You know why? IT'S NOT REAL MONEY. He was happy to pay it. It was what MY time was worth arranging it for him. I don't place any real world value on these credits. But I have fun coming up with clever ways of acquiring them. That's not greed. Greed is sucking di...er...gaming tables for quarters.


Lesson? Don't come in here with something that belongs on the trade forums and then act shocked and surprised when someone finally cusses you out.


Lesson? Smugglers charge what they charge. Some are cheap. Some are pricey. NONE of us has any business telling the others what we should charge for anything. I wouldn't let Geevo give the 10k gaming table smuggler in here crap for not charging 300 credits per percent like he does. YOU don't get to give Dreven or any of the rest of us, crap for charging what WE charge. I make money because I'ma smuggler and it's what my character does. If your smuggler wants to feed puppies and donate all his money to Our Lady of the Bald Chincilla more power to you. But leave me alone.

LOL... I'm not angryman. I'm trying to get you, and people like you to keep threads like this out of here. Unfortunately it hasn't worked yet. Once again, GALAXY OR TRADE FORUMS ARE WHERE THIS BELONGS. There has been a big problem here with this.


Let me get two things across:


1. This isn't the place to do this. It's posted. It was stated. You continue to use the board as such, then you open yourself up to such attacks.


2.You're full of crap. You were looking for a service, therefore you were buying something. You already know about the gaming tables, you were looking for a service. Don't make yourself out to be a target when you made the first move buddy. Now go back and read number 1.


Thanks for visiting the Smuggler Forums, and come back when you have something non trade related to talk about.

i think this forum is in need of some serious moderation.
any thread that is answered in a sticky or belongs in the trade forums should just be deleted immediatly.
along with the 'why was my post deleted' thread that will soon follow.

saving everyone the time and effort of telling yet another chowderhead where to look for their answer, or to post in the trade forum.




Bug fixes. Heh! Smuggling. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things.

My SWG Observations

If they stopped the expansions for one year and gave quality revamps to the professions that need it most, many people would resubscribe.
With all the resubs, and the new players, there would then be plenty of money to hire enough people to do 2-4 quality revamps per year plus 1-2 larger expansions per year and/or 2-4 smaller expansions per year, and not give the BigWigs a pay cut. (Possibly even an increase)

With smugglers you are not paying for a productt, like AS or WS, you are paying for TIME. We provide a service which takes up OUR time. We don't have to slice/sell fp/make furniture for you ppl, but we do to make money, pure and simple. We aren't in it for anything bar money, so thats why some of us charge high prices. Who says we have to charge low prices? or what YOU tell us to charge. We charge what WE feel like it, and no-one is going to stop us; because ppl need our services and are willing to pay for it, whatever the cost.
