Free.
I only slice for Weapon/Armorsmiths and I keep every perfect slice.
They provide the Upgrade Kits' I provide the rest.

I guess im not helping this much because i do most of my slices for 2k and if they bought the weapons from me its free. Really 5k and above is a total rip-off. i mean resource OQ has nothing to do with better slices so you can use total crap and make all your tools. And it take next to nothing to make the tools, smuggler needs to be fixed and charging like you offer a service worth 5k or more is near criminal but i guess being a smuggler thats the idea?

you gotta remember that we are increasing the stats on their weapons and armor PERMANENTLY. If people are willing to pay at least 10k for a 2-3 hour buff then they should have no problem dishing out whatever for a slice. But anyways....
Tarquinas is still fairly low overall on the price scale from what I've seen...I've charged 200 per % for the last 3 months and am happy with that...there's still a lot unfortunately that charge 100 per % on Tarq.

You know something. This just bugs me. I'll charge what I want when I want. So if I want to charge 3k, then i'm going to charge 3k. I'm not going to charge more just because someone tells me to charge more. And like someone said earlier, we can use the cheapest, lowest grade resources out there to make knives, clamps, spice, etc. It makes know difference in the outcome of the slice. If I get more business at 3k then someone else charging 5-10k then so be it. Its called business competition. So either shut up and deal with it or lower your prices to. Just because you can get more doesnt' mean you should. I'm happy to charge 3k per slice because I don't feel like ripping people off.

Charge what i feel like, like i posted on the Scylla forums on this topic, if im buffed running Mokk/janta missions at 35k a pop and i can do 2 of those in 5 - 7 minutes and meeting you and slicing your stuff takes me 20 minutes i charge you about 250k for those even if it was a stun baton and a Ubese jacket. Im not in a possition where i need to slice for money and therefore i charge heavily for the service. The same cost in powerups would run you 20k in the same time as your slice so why bother with charging less? Go buy some damn powerups if you dont like it

I'm on Valcyn, 5k flat rate. Guildies are whatever they feel like paying. On rare occasions I'll help a newbie out or chare less for a bad slice.
I also want to say that I don't keep my tag up because I hate being in tell hell. So if I'm slicing for someone I don't know it's usually because I'm bored. I don't really need the cash but I'll help out someone if needed. As for those who think I charge too much because quaility of resources doesn't matter, I agree. But if you can sell someone a used xbox for $400 when they can buy a new one for $150 I bet you'd still sell it to them.

I'm on Corbantis:
Below 19% - 200cr / %
20 and Above - 300cr / %
At my current level: Slicing IV
Armor Ranges from 1000 - 12000 a slice.
Weapon Ranges from 1600 - 9000 a slice.
Of course I give deals to Guild Mates / High Quantity Batch Slicing / Most Valued Customers (MVC's) / Friends / Some Newbs...
And containers.... Well.. no one wants those darn things sliced anymore since they got rid of the valuable items.
I slice them based on tips (You tip me what you want... Like entertainers tips 
)
)BTW: This looks like a good thread to sticky
