Just think about this for a second before you jump down my throat. After you've bought the schematic, bought the Crystalline and then crafted the item is there any chance of any Dancer actually paying you anything like a profit?


Fact - Most Dancers are AFK all the time anyhow so they don't care how well they heal their watchers. I did a little bit of Musician while I was waiting for Novice Merchant and to be honest, every group I ever got in was full of about 15 AFK entertainers who were either Holo Grinding or Silent Prof grinding.


Fact 2 - Most Dancers are absolutely broke because hardly anyone tips them. I spent the best part of a week playing music and I got not one tip. Let's face it, people are mean with their money and money hard won is money hard to let go of.



For those of you who would like to see how badly these sell for please visit my auction on Bria Trade


The Leotards are sweet items and it's rubbish that no-one wants to buy them

I don't know, some guys buy them for their 'girls'. I've sold 2 for 300k each, and considering that i paid 80k for the schem and 75k for each of the crystals, and i have one crystal left, I feel that I have made my money back. I don't think they will ever go for gobs of money, until the holotainers are gone and people begin tipping again. I'm not actively seeking more of these schematics or treatments, but for the right price, i would get them and try selling them again. Or i would keep it for myself for when i decide to be a dancer again.

I'd pay well for one if I could wear it.

I really don't see the point when you can make a bioenhanced leotard that looks exactly the same but with +25 to dance/music healing. Slap a tape in that puppy to assist with mind buff and youve got a better product with less hassle.



If it had a nifty graphic sure...but since it looks exactly the same with the same color scheme... *boggle*

Byallbacca,


Well, myoflex has never exactly been popular amongst the dancer since, as others have pointed out what is the incentive for them to heal you more quickly? But that doesn't stop us from charging, and selling, myoflex enhanced clothing for more. The point of this garment is that it's rare. That's the point. Not that it's particularly "better", or "useful", it's just a silly little thing that someone can spend their hard earned credits on and feel good about having. Kinda like a +9 clothing experimentation tape, lol.


Actually, when you think about it, most clothing falls into this category, lol.

It's the mind enhancement bonus that people want. Nobody really cares if we heal you up 10 seconds faster, but if we can give you a buff that's more effective, then people care about that. The fact that this garment has some built in on top of that which you can gain by putting in skill tapes makes it useful.

I made pretty good money during my Dancing days. It took me about a month to master(not afk) I enjoyed the profession alot. The fun part was mastering it and the interaction with other people. In all I made about 500k from tips during those 4 weeks. People will tip and tip well when you play the part. However from my time as a dancer I can tell ya there are very few who do play the partbut finding one of those people is gonna be your best bet at selling them.

Lots of people in my PA that are hologrinding have done dancer and are always quite interested in the entertainer tissues to wear while entertaining. I'm sure alot of them would be very interested in "Exotic Leotard" if they were females and could wear it...lol

i have the schematic and 3 of the crystaline treatments on Ahazi and I want to find a Master Tailor to make 2 of the outfits for me 9I'm working on getting all the other ingrediants as well) The schematic and treatments were gifts to me- the treatments came with the price of making sure I got one of the outfits for his wife as well.


So yeah. ^-^
