Ya it is. If someone does buy it then they got had. Honestly add a few more WUKs clamps and some grinding knives and then maybe it would be worth that. But you probably sell containers for 10k also. That is more of a starter kit not a grinding kit. With that aside this should be on the trade forums not here.

It's not a rip-off if someone finds value in it. You never learned about economics did you, wee one? Go look up market-based pricing. If someone buys it, it's valuable. Particularly the convenience factor of having that equipment available. If you want, offer something of better value to the community. Otherwise /hush and be constructive.

OK.. the audience is is listening.. finally a productive discussion.I will reassess the prices today. Thanks for turning this to a constructive discussion. I will pull this from my vendor today and up the ante to be competitive with the other post that ups AUK and WUK and Knives, etc. Thanks guys. This helps the community. Hopefully, everyone on each server will now provide this convenient service in some capacity.
Ohhh you really tricked us.....yes you did. See, we thought you posted a lame "smuggler" kit on here to get a buyer and we all somehow missed the sentence "Hey, Guys I'm thinking of doing a smuggler kit for aspiring smugglers. This is what I put together so far..any suggestions?" I'm sure had we all realized that was in there we would have been more sympathetic from the beginning and been far more constructive in our posts. You see, all we saw was a bunch of junk that can be baught off the bazaar in Theed for less than a 100K and you trying to sell it for 400-750K. How silly of us.
I have seen grind kits on server forums that supply every single thing needed to grind all the way to 0404 smuggler for 750K and those included all the WUKS, crates of wpns, knives, clamps..everything. Those people still made a handsome profit. And didn't make their customer feel as though they had been given the shaft afterwards.

And Kettemoor has a pretty decent economy, so these item are way overpriced. I have seen containers on the bazzar for 3k recently.

Smuggler's Grind Kit
Contains the following useful items for the aspiring smuggler:
15 Locked containers
5,000 Known radioactive for use in Muon production
5,000 Fruit for use in Muon production
10 armour upgrade kits
10 weapons upgrade kits
2 x Factory crates of 25 Molecular Clamps
2 x Factory crates of 25 Precision Laser Knives
400,000 credits minimum bid or 750,000 immediate 24 x 7 buy out by going to Rori, Shadow Falls 6184 1795 SOUTHFORK SPICE and MED vendor. Auction ends Sunday July 18th, 22:00 CT US. KETTEMOOR
Ok I sniper number 2 will show something I consider better:
25 locked containers (6k x 25= 150,000)
5000 oraganic (3cpu) grind qual= 15000 ( you can do almost if not all spice tree with this and doingshadowpawon a macro)
5000 metal/copper (3cpu) grind qual =15000 ( same as above)
25 wuk x4 (10k x4) 40k
25 clamps x4 (10kx4)40k
25 pres knives x 4(3k x4) 12k
Total 272k.
Lets say we kick it up to profit and I'd still be way under your minimum. No need for the Auks. But you can add them. Would still be under you. Even if it was x4. These are pretty standard prices on my server. LC go from 6k to 10k depending if they are on the bazaar or not. So lets say 25 LC for 10k= 250,000. I'd be at 372k. But as a smuggler 10k LC isn't really a deal is it considering I can walk myself over to the bazaar do a galaxy search and pick them up for 6k. Even if I had to shuttle to every planet in the end it would cheaper then buying from you. There flame on. Obviously you aren't really out to help anyone at 10k per container.
Reason for the edit. I originally had scramjet as the grinding spice but I believe it was shadowpaw that I used.
