Just made Master Last night and I already have a bunch of orders


One order is a huge order for synthetic cloth - How much do you generally charge per crate - per component.


Thanks

Synth cloth = 16 fiberplast / 4 inert chems (20 units of material - assume grind quality 2cpu)


You have to run it in a factory, which is (correct me if I'm wildly mistaken) 120 seconds each


that is roughly 10 credits worth of maintenance and power.


You just spent 50 credits each, to make that order.


If you are making a full 1000 unit run, then this orde's cost to you is 50k, and though these numbers are based on assumptions, they are not going to be far off of what you actually will pay for them. This does not take into account the factory cost, lot use, schematic time, your time, etc.


I charge 5 times the bast cost, roughly, or 10 cpu. 1 synth cloth = 200 credits. A crate of them is 5k, and a full run of 40 crates is 200,000 credits. I don't take into account any time or power or maintenance of the factories for this. Just the material costs. It really doesn't take much of my time to do.


You might want that to be your basement price, and charge 250k per run, and when you sell to guildies, or friends, or want to give someone a deal for other reasons, you have some wiggle room to drop to.


Think this is too high? Wooly hides are 30-150cpu, avian meat is 70-200cpu This is the main reason you see the best armour going for 1 million per suit, and buffs are 15k each.


Don't undervalue your goods.
