Tailor Archive

Hi I'm a master Tailor and I have a bio engineer friend who has teamed up with me to sell enhanced clothing items. I've searched this site and the web for any help on what to price things for and I know that it's different on each server. I also know that there is people out there with spreadsheets and different calculators and that all seems a bit excessive. I can't really figure out what my or his resources cost us to make the items because it's just not possible, due to the amout of different things we both use. Is there anyone whop can help me with a universal guideline pricing guide for bio enhanced clothing? I don't want to screw up the market by selling too low and ripping ourselves off, and I don't want to be labeled a greedy person by charging too high. My BE is on the cusp of master BE and I have been master Tailor for a couple weeks. We are both relatively new to the game, just about 5 months exp total. I mostly do custom orders for my clothing and so far I just have people make me an offer within their budget. I've found that the rich tip me very well for my work and in turn i'll hook up random newbies with either credits or free or cheap outfits. I know what i'm asking is a very complicated question but I guess I'd just like a nice simple easy guide to know what to sell clothing with each type of enhancement. Like for instance I don't know all of the tissues available, but let's take camoflage for instance, what would a shirt with +5 camoflage for go for? and what about +15 and the + 25. If anyone could give me a low,medium and high enhancement guideline I'd appreciate it. Maybe some other tailors could list what they sell items for? Throw me a bone here! Thanks alot in advance......

hmm.. Simple Pricetag on BE clothes...

The most easy I can think of is to setnormal price +Xcr/ stat modifier..

example (just random numbers):

Reinforced Shirt, normal price 2600 + 4Camoflage(4 x 1000) and6 maskscent (6 x 1000) = grand total 12600 cr.

Thank for replying but hell I don't even know the correct price of clothing! Take for Instance the Exquisite Dancer's Leotard. The materials are rare and kind of expensive, I've seen the crystalline clothing treatments go from 500 to 10000 credits. The schematic goes for between 15k to 100k and I've seen people sell them within 500 m of each other and my shop from 25k to 150k. I've been to different planets and taken long rides to look at vendors and it's just crazy the price differences. I have a vendor at a very busy mall and it gets a lot of higher end customers with a lot of money so I'd like to stock the +25 stuff with maybe some +15 and +5 stuff for those with smaller budgets. I've seen some BE clothing go for 65k. I'm just totally lost as to what to charge.

I can empathize. I have the exact samesituation with my Starsider character, currently. My plan: wing it. If people complain I'll lower it a bit, and keep checking my prices against other BE clothing vendors I happen across. *shrug*
