Tailor Archive

Hi there,

I really like Nivea's pricing and website. Very easy for us Taylors. Unfortunately it isn't very comvenient for me to alt-tab to Internet Explorer so I put together all her pricing informations on one black and white 11"x8.5" sheet for easy printing.

You'll need Acrobat 5.0 though.

I agree that my format isn't the greatest. Feel free to comment.

what is her pricing based on? 1k for wrapped boots is abit much imo but this does seem to have some good and fair prices on it

now that i look at it some more, alot of stuff looks overpriced... 1k for ribbed pants? maybe i am selling for too low but i sell mine for 450

A master tailor has tons of experimentation points and all items have 99% chance to get crafted with four sockets. Here you havetwo of the differences. Also it might not matter NOW, but in future when clothing decay kicks in, you'll be willing to pay the double price when your items survive 3x the time as a newbie item.

Maybe it's a mistake of doing it right now because there's no decay, but I shop and harvest only high quality resources. All my items have 66-75% durability (cant get more with current resources). So I'm not wrong by charging that much. Unless you're trying to push prices down with stupid excuses, depending on how annoying you are, I will forget experimentation. (I know I'm bad )

Anyway, thanks for the list, since Nivea apparently makes good business with this, I'll use it as orientation

Jeez, those prices are high! No wonder I'm having such a hard time keeping my vendor stocked. My prices are based on the number and type of resources used (including from subcomponents), number of subcomponents (required factory pieces are counted twice), level required to create, and a modest "coolness" factor--and even with that factor, I don't come close to mostofthose prices.

I just can't see 1500cr for a pleated skirt, or 4000cr for a Lekku wrap. It kinda looks like the prices are based more on level than anything else.

Yay another undercutter.

One gnort mission on Moenia, Naboo: 3 minutes running, 2 minutes killing, 3 minutes running back. Gain = 2k credits.

Means what? Someone will waste 8-10 minutes playtime to buy a pleated skirt at 1500cr. Is that so hard to get that some of you people are simply putting yourself in disadvantage? Sheesh, missions on advanced planets can pay well over 10k cr.

your right tripleDES. I am gonna use this sheet as a guide now and see how well my sales go, if they work out ill keep it up if they dont, ill find another way.

"4000cr for a Lekku wrap"

It's 4000cr since that what people will pay. And of course it's based on level, since you have to spend a LOT more on the infrastrurcture, training, time and everything else on lvl IV items than you do on your level I items.

I had someone walk into my shop last nite saying that she'd made 200,000cr in ONE DAY doing missions and was looking to spent some on clothes. I didn't even have 200,000cr and she's making that ever day. Now she'll get to make that everyday in style and I get to run my harvesters another day. heh

I would have thought those prices were high a couple weeks ago. Now, I think they're reasonable. When I was selling Flight Suits for 10k a couple weeks ago, people were like "Wow, that's expensive." Now everyone say "Ok, no problem, can I get 2 please?" The amount of money floating around right now with no purpose is astronomical. Once people have their weapons, armor, house and pets, the money just accumulates. I know tons of people that have 500k plus from running missions that have nothing left to buy. I know that weapon smiths and armor smiths need to raise their prices soon, as they have alot more hastle then us, but an across the board price raise wouldn't hurt anyone I think.

That's what it's all about. People have LOTS of money, but as you can see in the spreadsheet thread, some people are plainignorant over that fact and are selling high tier items for a nickle.

I wsn't really even a serious undercutter...was selling things for 7k that solf for 15k from Nivea. I had customers telling me I was selling myself short and find people are willing to pay for style now too. I've heard of people selling those nice Twi'Lek hats for 1500! I remember the first time I saw one of those...I was amazed. Now that I can make them...why should anyone be able to get something so nice looking for the cost of running 1 lv 10 mission. When you buy a sterao...you don't pay for the materials...you pay for the manufacturing, functionality, matketing, and skill of the person who built it. Probots were never worth 30k...but I ran missions many times just to save up for one. I paid 30k for the skill of the person making them and the functionality.

I don't think that people are ignorant of the fact that money is floating around like crazy in the game, I think its the fact that some people don't think those prices are fairly priced from their costs, time, etc..

Its perfectly legite for you to think that 4k for a lekku wrap is fairly priced for your cost and time, just as much for me to think that 3k is fairly priced for my time and cost.

But since everyone seems to be so anti against any competetion, and so defensive against other tailors using a different pricing scheme or valuation on different items then they do the bashing and assumptions continue.

The only people we know what prices they sell at are those that have listed prices here or those you have seen in game. Until then stop making asusmptions about what other people are selling their items at because as the saying goes...

I haven't changed my prices (and yes I sell Lekku wraps for 4k and flight suits for 10k) but I've noticed my sales going down.

Two reasons I think:

1. There are now more master tailors on my server that charge less than me
2. I've pretty much stopped doing custom orders

However, I'm enjoying the game a lot more as I now only need to spend 30-45 minutes a day restocking my vendors rather than 3 hours.
