So last night I logged in and all my Jedi outfits had been purchased. None of my pilot outfits got bought so I re-did how I was handaling those, changed out the cold weather jacket to be the pilots jacket (finally got bristley hide or whatever) and had them in themes "Endor Pilot (Forest Green)" etc.. I did pilots jacket in color, matching comfortable slacks, black longsleeve shirt, and uniform boots.


I logged back in 2 hours later someone had bought all 3 versions of my pilots outfits. Same person. So I /tell'd them and said "I won't be mad if you did, but I am curious did you purchase all my outfits to resell?" and he said "Nope, I thought they looked cool and I wanted to put them in my house as decorateiong, good job btw".


I was like, whoah! He spent over 100k on 3 pilots outfits and a jedi outfit. Insanity!!


To bad my real computer is broken and I have to barrow my husbands right now. Means I can only get on for like.. 2 hours at a time if even.. but the good news is tonight i will get Hiring 4 so I can finally put the outfit ON the vendors

the theme outfits can be a ton of work, so value them properly. Dont sell yourself short! I find a theme vendor very hard to keep stocked, but it is a fun rainy, dont feel like venturing out of the shop for 6 hours activity. /grin

well so far it takes me about 1 hour to make 4 to 6 jedi outfits, and then 3 pilot outfits, which sell out empty each night. I was charging 22k for the jedi outfits, and now I bumped it to 32k and still sold out.


I'm not sure at all how much that means I am making. The jedi outfit takes some easy to make things, cloak, large pocket pants, wrinkled pants, longsleeve shirt, small pocket belt (no cargo pockets required).


the pilots outfit with the comfortable slacks and pilots jacket i think is hard to make.


I'm not sure at all what to charge, i mainly just pick numbers out of my head, and raise/lower as i think will work.

Well you can look at it this way... You made 100k in an hours work from the guy who bought your outfits. Assuming he's a combat guy bashing bols on the head (isn't everybody?) he's also probably making around 100k an hour doing that (10k/mission, 10 missions/hour, sounds about right). So at least your prices are somewhat rational from that standpoint.


Being sold out isn't always a bad thing. In fact it can make your products seem even more desirable. The alternative is to price them such that some people will turn their noses up at them due to the price, which may not be desirable.


Oh, and it's "too many bugs" not "to many"

I'm almost frightened to log in now. I just started up an outfit vendor, stocked it, put it on the map, and went out of town. Wonder how much I've sold.


And if you're selling them for 30k, maybe I should raise my prices. I priced everything at 10k.
