I can tell you that my special order weapon demand has gone through the roof. I think I made 22 Krayt Weapons yesterday. None of which were with my own tissues.
Incidentally, what you guys charging customers that bring their own tissues in for weapons?
It depends. If they want all the tissues used on weapons for them, then I've been hitting them up for 150k per weapon. If they let me keep any extra tissues, then I craft the weapon for free. T21 customers depend on past experience. I made a T21 for one guy that has been letting me keep spares, so he got it crafted for free. If someone came in cold, probably charge them anywhere from 150kto 200k per rifle.
I find these prices to be very fair as tissues are still going for a chunk of change on Tempest. Set of 8+ are still bringing in 2 million on auction if they are above base. Stuff that I make from spares and gets put on my vendors usually pull a hefty price for me. Put 4 scatters on it yesterday, 3 for 500k and 1 for 450k, and 2 have sold already.

Thanks guys. This helps. I made 12 Krayt weapons for a customer Sunday and it took up a lot of time. (2 Jawas and 10 scatter pistols) and I got 180k out of it, I kinda thought I wasn't charging enough for all this work and it would seem I'm right. I think I am going to lean towards 1 tissues a weapon and if you want multiple weapons, then I need the payment to be tissues of the same serial number so that I have an opportunity to make something I sell for profit. If they don't have any tissues. Then I will probably start charging based on the complexity of what is they want. 25k for Factory, 20k for manual and a base fee of 30k.
So basically 75k for anything with multiple power handlers.
