Been thinking of this alot, slicing is what gives smugglers the advantage in battle, because we can make weapons and armour better than normal, but smugglers have just turned it into a source of money. So if someone really wants a slice they would have to pay up.

Wouldn't want to make it an even playing field if I face the person in the future now would I?

Not sure you will get anyone to pay quite that much. But with slicing being different a bit now, you never know.

If they'll pay it, it's reasonable.

Once got someone to pay 100k, but be careful most get scared off if you start at a very high rate.

Best check the area - make sure no other masters around, so you have a nice un-even playing field, then screw them all to the floor

if someone will pay that much, let them go fo rit. i usually charge 5k in hopes of return customers, but sometimes say "tip what you feel apropriate" and i get some good ones.

If you can get that much from them, then take it. If you can get more, then take that.

Does slicing work yet? I pay 50k to my pistol sliced. But i heard from my smuggler friends that slicing is still messed up. tells you got a 12 percent slice and you get in reality 2 percent.

I had a 30% slice on that new smuggler pistole from kashyyyk yesterday, and it was a 30% slice, on the other hand I sliced a Republic Blaster too, got an eleven % slice on it, min dam was 11%, max dam only 5%... damn weapon caps...

Personally, I'm getting a little tired of smugglers cheating themselves (and other smugglers as a side effect) by slicing cheap or for free. If people will pay millions of credits for the weapons, they can $%#@ well pay 50k+ for a slice.

I might go down to 5k for re-tuning -- when the revamp arrives, but slicing needs to be much more expensive.

I charge 500creds/PerWeaponLevel, and have not yet had one person get scared off by the price. This way, a level 50 Weapon gets me 25k. It isnt a bad price for them, and I make a bit of cash.

Once I explain WHY I charge that much, people have always understood.

Lemme guess, is your reason "Because of all the people that charged me fifteen grand when I needed containers?"

What if we utilized the "Smuggler Identification" or whatever its called thread to spread word to smugglers in our servers to start jacking up the prices of slices? The same goes with spice.Here is our chant,"Raise the price of slice and spice!"
