Thread: How important do you think the Tailor Schematics are?
I admit, I made a mistake whenan armorsmithfirst asked me to sell them a schematic...I realized that I was hurting every other tailor in the industry to sell schematics at a less than outrageous price, but without thinking about it, I offered to sell him crates at a ridiculously low rate. I was undercutting my own materials cost! When I did the math after the sale and realized how badly I'd just screwed myself, I was cursing under my breath - I knew he'd be back for more with the insane deal he was getting!
...So, I bit the bullet and told him that I was going to need to start charging more on his additional orders. He tipped me an extra 1k, and said that he'd be more than happy to pay the new price from then on. And because he was friendly about it, I'm not going to gouge him,
but I will at least cover my own costs from now on! And I won't be making that offer to anyone else!
I always wanted to stay out of the schematic/crate sales, because I'm a tailor, not just a factory. And I've learned my lesson about doing the math before I give someone a price, lol. And even though I'm notoriously bad at math,I'm not trying to ruin ANYONE'S business, and I'll correct my mistakes when I see them - and I NEVER give away schematics. =)
