Has anyone developed a good pricing structure for slicing (if the customer does not provide their own components)?

I'm struggling to come up with something, especially for those 8% damage slices.

no components - 25k
simples - 75k
fines - 150k
delicates - 400-500k
illegals - 1m-2m depending on how many i got... I'd prefer for the price to be the same as delicates but theyre so damned rare

wow thats expensive. do people actually pay you that? or do you just charge it?

This is what I charge on Chimaera, and I know other smugglers are charging the same...

10k a slice without a component needed (or if you are suppllying the component).

35k for a simple toolkit.

75k for an intricate toolkit.

100-250k for most of the armour components.

800k for mandalorian, delicate trigger or illegal core boosters.

Have had no problems with this system and made 5million last weekend. We might not like the way that it is a loot driven economy but it has certainly given me a new avenue to make a lot of money

Any smugglers on Bria have slicing pricing scheams?

I made 2m today.

I'd say people pay it.

On my server, for instance, delicate triggers sell for 150-250k. Finely crafted kits around 50-75k and the simples around 25k. So... that is at most 350k in supplies alone.

I charge 25k a level plus cost of components and what ever else tax I want to throw in there usually.

If they supply components its 25k a level period.

I'll do a simple job for 10k. If it requires a part, I charge a bit higher than what that part is going for on the market. (I keep an eye on things to be safe). That allows me to replace the part I just used and keep a little something for myself. I let the customer know that they can drive the price down a little by bringing me the part, so if they're interested they can do the leg work of traveling to a vendor and bringing me the piece. This keeps my slicing tool inventory pretty stable and saves me the bother of running to some PC town in the middle of no where to replace bits. It also keeps me from becoming a regular slice monkey. At this point, Slicing is a service I provide when I'm in the mood, not a regular income maker.
