I'm a fairly new Master Smuggler and want to go into the business of buying faction perks and faction points for others and was wondering what good prices would be?
I was gonna charge 100 cr per FP cost of perks and 120 cr for FP (assuming that I'm a Colonel).
Are those prices fair? What do you charge? I want to be competitive, but I don't want to undercut my fellow Smugglers.

I'd say go with 120 credits per point for the perks too. Since people are too lazy to grab a calculator and figure out the cost themselves no one can tell the difference(except for you while calculating your profits).

I use 125cr per FP for anything under 5k FP purchases, and 120cr per FP for anything over 5k. Kind of a discount for larger purchases. The exact ratio is 118cr per FP and the 120-125 range makes it easy to calculate and gives you a profit.
I also apply a surcharge depending on the area. If its near a reb base, or a reb aligned city, I charge 150cr per FP. I consider it a "risky business" tax.

Rebel? Imeprial? That will change the price.
I'm Imperial and charge 125cr/fp for people I don't know, offerverious discounts for repeat customers or mates.
Perks I use around the 100cr/fp Rounde UP of course to make nice round numbers. 100cr/fp is good as you just add two 00 to the end of the faction cost.
I did have a story of running a successful Faction business. It'll be in my post history somewhere not to far back.
