Well so far I've been busy as usual and customers travel planets to come to me. Guess I'm just lucky. Some new player wanted me to slice 4 containers and I failed to tell him the cost and after I was done I said ok that will be 4k please. He said, "You never told me! Keep um!"....so then I waid wait a minute...are you sure you don't want these? I mean there is something quite nice in one of them.

So he rethinks and says hey can you follow me to the bank. I said sure. I put a 4 stack of brandy in one of the crates and sold him the bunch and walked away with my money. But you guys are right I should raise my slicing armor price to 3k at least. I was selling my armor suits for 250k per set and 27k is not a bad price considering I've sliced a few pieces up to 90% base for customers so far and it only cost them 18k for the set. A few people have asked me how much I charge for fp transfer and I say my going price is 150 cpfp and I usually don't hear back from them.

We have a lot of very cheap smugglers on my server. Shouting out free slices and they are master?

Perhaps they are working they aren't Masters yet and working on their XP? *shrug*

Awfully nice of you to put stuff in the container for him

I usually don't look in the containers just hand them back

me thinks there's quite a bit of FP sales figured in there....

Yes, some FP ... but those have slowed as well. But there are other ways to make money as well. I figure I make $250k-1 million per day in slicing, and when I decide to run missions, I make about $1 million per buff session. Minimum faction orders are $1 million that I do (otherwise not worth my time) ... and I charge 150-200 per point. I don't think it is worth my time below $150/point because I can go make that $1 million (pure profit) running missions vs. that $425k-570k profit from that $1 million faction deal.

I am a numbers person, everything done gets an internal cost-benefit analysis that includes many factors including (but not limited to):

- My enjoyment of the task (FP sucks to do,but so does running missions and just about any high-profit task)
- My relationship/friendship with the customer (Friends get better prices and better service)
- My current financial status (how close to $100,000,000)
- My expected future expenses (JtL will be quite expensive for me)
- My other obligations
- How "Smugglerish" I feel at the moment
- My mood (good/bad)
- How nice the customer is
- Does the customer try to negotiate or just complain about the price
