So, finally I got a couple of full runs with the new BE tailor tissues....but....I´ve got no idea what so ever on how to price them finished BE-clothes :/
I used to sell the old melee def/stun def 4/18 for 15k a piece. I didn´t care on how many tissues needed to be uses, I choose to go by the simple mod of tissue. Thus a bandolier costed as much as a Heavy jacket even though the jacket would required double the tissue.
But now? Well, got the new melee/ranged def 15/15 (working or not...their on demand!) but got no clue on the pricing :/
Seen a couple of tailors on the chim server selling a full "Jedi kit" for...250k(?!)
But as we know, you get 4 combat modded pieces of clothes, yes you can add TKM dmg and Terr neg, but I won´t
And you got gloves, boots, belt and sunguard. But the sunguard, boots, gloves, belt is only a couple of k´s....max 5k imho. So, thus each modded piece would go for over 50-60k.
Now, would 50k be alright for one pice of clothing? And what about custom orders?
I like to be able to help peps out with their "own" outfit, but I could really need some help regarding pricing. I don´t wanna loose money, nor do I want to be greedy. A hard balance on a damn thin line :/
Sure, I´ve seen BE´s starting to sell these tissues at 8-10k minimum.
I know rangers doubled, trippeled their prices for organic resources....
I´m just very very bad at math...so plz help me out

I've kept my original pricing scheme (1k per highest mod per tissue used), but I've added a 33% fee increase to the combat tissues that require milk or eggs. the combat stuff is still selling like hawtcakes 
p.s.: oh yeah, there's a 1k black tax, and a 50% price increase for stocked 4 sockets BE items (100% for regular items). I don't guarantee 4 sockets for BE clothing unless they're willing to pay me 50% of the item price per attempt.

I charge 30k per Tissue used, plus 5k per socket the clothing has.
People seem to like that system, so I'm sticking to it!

I know it's different for each server but the old +4 melee +16 stun stuff I used to sell for 35k for say a formfitting undershirt, and if an item used more than one tissue i'd add 10k per tissue used. an item that capped at +25 =25 in say healing would be 50k plus 10k per each extra tissue used. With the new melee/rnaged tissues i've been selling them around 40-50k per s single tissued item. The resources needed are a pain to get i guess so why not charge a little more.

I am the guy who makes the full suits on chimeara
I charge 20 base per item then 5 k extra per socket.
The suits are 250k as they take lots of try's to get the 4 sockets as you are all aware, and also the reourses are real hard to find nowdays.
I sell lots at the minute but I am sure the rush will die off soon once everyone has there clothing of choice.

Many thanks for all your help.
I´ll try to match my prices with other tailors on Chim, for example you Ouzet.
Sure, competition is good, but I don´t want to undercut the prices since I know how much time and efforts that are put into the tailor prof.
And yeah, the new resources required for the tailor tissues has made em tissues reached insane amounts of money, thus I´m happy I´ve got a BE alt....only thing I need now is a ranger alt gggr :/

hmmmm what i have been reading it still a +25 cap on every skill, so the full "suits"are useless, arnt they? so why sell suits for tonnes of creds? until the devs say it isnt a cap on it u should all lay low and not try to sell these suits for 250k to peeps. (not a flame but a nice request) but hey if they buy it so why shouldnt u ![]()
well well i might run off and buy one myself just to try it out ![]()
and btw if i got a cyber arm can i still wear a whole suit?
thanx all ![]()
(oh and btw my spelling sucks cuz im from sweden

i stock a variety of peices ... shirts, bandos, jackets, pants .. and 1 wookiee item and 1 ith item ... all my prices start off at 65k and go up depending on the number of rfp's the item takes ...
my vendor is normally sold out in a few days ... and i stock about 60+ peices at a time .. (just hit 16 mil post CU from selling them ... all i sell are the melee/ranged - ud/tn - healing eff ... i have some entertainer on my vendor but it never sells ... i mostly give those away when some new person asks about them ... havent bothered making the other ones yet ... still need to gather mollusk meat =P
