Thread: Bio-clothing pricing

Yes, that is reasonable. Some tailors do 1K per stat and add the price of clothing. Others charge per tissue used/wasted. Entirely up to you.
I personally charge for the wasted tissue, but I had a person come up to me once and ask for something that used a lot of wasted tissue. I gave my price and she told me that she had a tailor character on another server and that my prices were ridiculous and that I should be using the other pricing scheme. I guess some people have strong opinions about it.
Lots of tailors get their tissues for nothing and have ridiculous prices as well (like 4k for a 15 shirt). I don't charge for wasted tissues but I add more to my prices to make up for it. I often have a hard time getting tissues suppliers so I won't charge 50% less for the second tissue when it uses two identical ones either... or I'd be better off just selling stuff that uses one.
My prices are, basically
+13/15 shirt - 13k/15k
+13/15 pants - 14500cr/16500cr
+25 pants - 25k
+25 sunguard - 35k
Stuff with two stats usually go for 40k.
Yeah I'm more expensive than other tailors on my server, but I sell at a rate that doesn't leave me out of tissues, and it's what matters really.
True. People do have strong feelings. However, I don't think they factor in the economy of one server versus the other. On Radiant, it is hard to find a reliable and consistent BE. Most burn out in a short amount of time. The harder to find tissuesare going to result in the charge for the wasted tissue, imho.

My prices are probably close to Songe's. Pretty simple, I think.
Price of article non bio'd. +
1k per stat point on tissue +
5k per any waisted tissue.
So let's say I charge 1k fora muscle shirt and add +16 Injury/Wound.. then it's 17k total. If it took two tissues in the same slot it would be 22k.
Hope that helps.

My prices are based upon my own personal greed and what the market will bear. I've been charging 60k per +25 item and 30k for all other items (usually +15 to +20 depending on what tissues I have on hand) regardless of numberof tissues used.
Hey, people buy it.
