Only been smuggler 1 day hehehe yay for me so wel this is the scenario:
almost empty starport in a far away planet i notice and kinda memorise the names of the players,im bored just missed shuttle and im wearing my master smuggler tag.
i say oh well i got like 9 minutes i kinda relocate my inventory and craft some clamps and knifes.
2 minutes for shuttle to arrive i get a tell from one of the guys who got to starport same time as me and he says he has 17 caribines for me to slice(i exagerated a bit lol) and i say oh well there goes shuttle and i start slicing by the time the darn trade window bug stops molestin me one minutes goes by,i start and of course im thinking i got 2 minutes to slice so i do it as fast as i can hoping to read negative or positive when clamp is put while my ear is getting anoyed by the tells saying!!!!!i want good slices!!!!
so after all this scenario of course the shuttle leaves and the guy gets all pissed off and all i can say is please understand im trying to do my job right without wanting to yell
/shout you moron you knew i was master smuggler you had like 7 minutes
this has hapened like 6 times today lol
but i still haveto say that tk master and master smuggle rare my favourite profesions

As a master I dont slice bulk and I hope your not charging 100 credits a % for your hard work. With that said i would have done a few things different. First off i would have told him we were both going to miss the shuttle making sure he understood that. 2nd after the first "i want good slices" tell i would have stopped what i was doingand made it very, very clear that no smuggler can control the out come of a weapon or armor'sslice, and got an ok from himbefore istarted slicing again. 3rd if he was still a pain in the ass about it i would have charged him xtra for the ones i did slice and traded back the rest telling him to find another person to slice his weapons. Remember it's your service dont be bullied into rushing to get the job done and also, remember always you are the underbelly of the galaxy a bad ass smuggler who takes crap from no one. That includes people who want a slice, have no idea how it works but feel they need to tell you how to do your job.

thnkx for the tips man,well since i started in master smuggler ive been charfing 5k's per weapon and 25 k's per suit of armour.
does this price seem good?
i think and im saying "i think" becasue i dont want to cause any debate with this that prices of slicer are quite cheap so after asking around i put on my own prices and people dnt seem to complain.
thnkx for the help

As a master (currently grinding to master again) I charged 7k per slice, 50k for a full suit of armor. Couple complaints, but they're /addignored and I never think twice about it.

Im a 5k weapon and 25k armour smuggler myself (i feel bad for wookiees tho as they pay 25k for 4 peices and humans etc pay 25k for 9 peices but hey there hairy) and Ive yet to get a single complaint. Since Master Smuggler's are becoming more and more of a dieing breed people recognize how much their services are in demand I feel.
My only annoyance is clients who look me up and send me tells asking me to come to them.
One time I was facing an 11k drive (no shuttle routes) and so I politley said sorry mate only interested if you come to me and he said "god no im not driving that far for slices" so i said no worries better luck on coro then and left it as that.

You price what you are comfortable with, let no one tell you other wise. I can only tell you what i charge, it is:
01% - 14% - 4k
15% - 23% - 6k
24% - 29% - 8k
30% - up - 10k
This works for me but again its up to you. Charge based on what you feel you time is worth.
