Tailor Archive

Doh, accidentally posted without writing my question.

What is a fair rate for synth panels? I feel they should be cheap, but at the same time if someone asks me to make 1000 of them, when I could make a TON of other things instead, I think that should be worth something. I give most my clothes away actually, but I really don't want to sit down and grind out 1000 panels. I know that when factories are readily available this entire situation will change. But for now, how much would you charge for 100 panels? Or 1000?

I charge 5k for a factory crate of 25 synthtic panels. Factories run about 60K to purchase, plus maintenance and a lot of power. Unfortunately, the factory only produces 100 panels every 5-6 hrs so the production is very limited. I have regular customers and so far have not received any complains about the price.

A lot of my prices are directly based on a formula based on item complexity value. So Synthetic Cloth is 15 and I'd sell them using the formula (15 x a)-b = price Where a is amount wanted and b is any adjustment I'd make if I thought it was an unreasonable price =p

Okay so I do a lot of math in Tailoring... actually my excel spreadsheet does it. I'm not obsessive really! heheh =p

Anyway 100=1500cr and 1000=15000cr I may change that once I get a factory.

You must be out of your mind if you only charge 15 credits per cloth, if I read your post right. It takes that much in resources. I sold 30 cloth yesterday for 4500 and they were happy and want more. If you sell 100 for 1500 you are ripping yourself off.

I'm charging 200 per panel now. I thought that was really high at first, but its the only way to keep people off me. I don't need the money, I sell backpacks for cash, but I've been making soooo many of these damned panels. 200 each is the only way I can actually get breathing room in.

I'm Selling for 2000cr per 25 and they are happy to by it, the problem is staying up with the demand

who do you get bio components is what i want to knwo heh...thats all i need and with no explaination in the game i could really use some help

ive been selling synth panels for 250-300 a piece, and i usually sell about 10ish a day at least.

I sell my factory crates of 25 for 3750. That is 150 per cloth. I had one guy argue hard that that was too much money and I was not at market rates. I asked him if there were any crates on the market. He said no because he bought them all up. I proceeded to sell every crate thereafter for my price. I think I can raise the price and still sell because there are almost no factory crates around. When supply meets demand I will lower my price.

I've been selling mine for 5K a pop. Can barely keep them in stock. Same thing with the reinforced fiber panel factory crates I sell. Those are pretty much gone as soon as they get made.

Five K a pop? Wow am I undercharging. I'm on the same server. I guess I need to make some more contacts.

Grrr... Just made a discovery that, at least in my area, demand for synthetic cloth is only a temporary thing that apparently fades to non-existence quickly, because:

1. Apparently, higher-level armor stops requiring synthetic cloth altogether (I figured it was like synth cloth for tailors or fiberplast panels for artisans - something you need throughout the line) and/or:
2. Every friggin' armorsmith is also a Novice Tailor just for the purpose of making the **edit** panels, because it's easy.

So the factory I figured to be a big revenue generator is starting to look like a big money sink until I get Field Wear II (which I didn't really even want all that much in the first place.)

Well, at least *I* need to use the synthetic cloth a lot myself, so it's not a total loss....
