((.25 x # of general resources) + (.5 x # of named resources)) x dps

D18 pistol ~700 credits
T21 rifle ~80K credits

Selling a T21 for 5400 is insane! 5 power handlers alone cost more in resources than that (slight exageration perhaps). Whatever floats your boat I guess.

BTW I haven't had one complaint.

I don't think it really matters anymore. My server (Naritus), ánd I'm sure it goes with your servers too...are absolutely flooded with weapons. There have been so many made, (various quality) and looted, which have all been converted, altered, and slapped with a CL, that the whole market is a bit fluttery. The way I see it, most of your standard weapons these days (If not all of them) aren't really worth that much. Only weapons that have been nicely enhanced or for some reason are hard to come by, are really worth anything above $5,000 (the bazaar limit) I have sold several older weapons on the bazaar for $5k, simply while doing some house cleaning. It will take a while for everying to settle down, especially since I predict that the next couple of publishes (#18 and #19) will likely bring in a bunch of new weapon changes (since they will be the first major publishes since the release of the CU). I wouldn't worry so much about pricing and/or undercutting until it all settles down. Until then, just do your thing, find good resources, and pay attention to what your server's market does. I think it will all work itself out in the end.

Bazaar limit is 20k

For unenhanced, I take the total number of resources and multiply by 40. I then make slight adjustments based on quality, demand, etc.

For enhanced, I add in the cost for tissues, and adjust based on bids seen in the forums. If the customer supplies enhancements, it is roughly 20k per enhanced component, plus a small assembly fee (that I sometimes waive).

I am also a new WS and have been selling stuff- mainly on the bazaar- at 100c. x DPS.

i have always based my pricing on the resources. i check resources auctions a lot and i tend to have an nice idea bout the value of my resources. i just take the cpu x amount of resources. + subs and then i go up a little for the profit and my time invested. Some smiths charge 15-25k on avarage for weapons others like me go from 3-12k offcourse that's not the t21 that's 25k for me. And loot that's just what did i spend on the tissue then i'll add a nice profit in there for me. Whatever i think is a nice price for a nice weapon. And if stuff doesn't sell after 2 or 3 weeks i take like 10 or 20% off the price.

OK....when did this happen?

Back in late February, I think. Around patch 13.

I think you guys put too much thinking into it... pick a number and go with it

So you sell a T-21 for 5,400 credits?

Slim Vargo, Corbantis

Yes

You might as well sell the resources, you'll get more than the 8 cpu you're getting for them by making T-21s.

But thats no fun.I like making stuff.

Still getting into the pricing of it as Im fairly new to WS..... though I must admit I love the 20k limit on the bazaar.... I whack a batch of DL44xts on there for 20k and they always sell in a day or 2. My vendors are fairly new and in the process of being stocked so not making a huge amount from them at the moment.

Although I have been using up a loadof pre-CU tissues I had, (most 50-70 max damage) and making dl44xt's, scatters and a few rifles\carbines from them and they have been flying off my vendor for 100-200k apeice. I looted them all myself so its a pretty nice profit.

I remember when the bazaar limit was raised to $5,000 (maybe pub 13) But I don't think it was $20,000. I think this is a much newer thing...but then again, only recently have I started to use the bazaar again.
