geez Biggins, you can get away with 65k for a base T21??
yeah they started at 40kbut coudnt keep them in stock. so the price kept rising. i still sell them more then any other gun but they can stay at 65k.
Wow, you guys are high speed, maybe I am selling my wares for far too low. On average I make about 300K a day selling strictly advanced, unsliced, Melee weapons for 10K each. Ona great day I make about 200K and have never broke a mil. Maybe I should consider re-eavaluating my pricing scheme.
What do you guys usually charge for your weapons?
Hum well I am consider one of the the best on my server and only see real competition from one other weaponsmith who i have a great deal of respect for Rainye 
I do about 600-1 mill a day with out krayt type weapons. I made my 30 mill and will never spend it all so this is more out of fun than to make money.
I have all I need friends family and respect on the server. It feels so good to just give stuff away even some great stuff.
My weapons are consider by many to be best on server but that is only due to them not shoping anyplace else hahah
Be safe Truebel

oh great, that means we'll get the worthless HAY GUYZ HOW DO I GRIND WEPONSMITH GIVE ME MACRO PLZ threads followed by the inevitable Y CANT I SELL ANYTHING Y DO MY GUNZ SUK WEPONSMITH IS GAY AND U GUYZ SUK explosion of retardation.
Been a MWS for a couple of months now, and so far my worst days (and by far, the most numerous) are 0 credits/day. My best day I had 3 guys visit my shop. One of them boughtall of my VK's, another boughtall of my Power Hammers, and the third bought 3 or 4 of my DX2's. May sound like alot, but I don't usually stock alot of each item (as my resources may be good, they have to be shared between a billion different schems, and I don't want to use all of my good resources to make Power Hammers if everyone wants Gaffi Sticks ).
Then yesterday I happened to sell a crate of 10 Power Hammers to another guy (at a discounted rate because he was buying in bulk, asked the right questions, and was very friendly). I didn't get into WSing for the money. I did it to provide a service to those who are looking for weapons. I make enough money on Destroy missions to keep my character in Ubese Armor, and I make my own VK's, so I'm not diappointed. About a month ago, I heard that one of the guilds residing in the same city as my (unguilded) toonwas making "newbie packs" (backpacks stuffed with whatever you might need to get you to master of a chosen profession), and they asked if I could supply the weps for the packs at a reasonable price. What's a more reasonable price than free? That kind of thing is why I got into WSing to begin with. It was a ton of fun, and every time something gets me down in-game, I just think of all the n00bs running around with my weps saying "I just solo'd a Kaduu lair with my kewl new DL20a."

At least it is expected now. Lol
back when i used to play quite often i would say i would be negative 200k per week, thats right negative.
weapon profit = 0
cost of running harvestors = 200,000
profit running missions +30k per day (running 800-1k missions)
so all in all I was up 10k creds a week and sold zero guns, fantastic.
I can't give weapons away, have 400 top notch featherweight fwg5's/mod republic blasters on my vendors for 6k each.

How are you spending 200k a week on harvesters?? And as far as featherweight fwg5s and mod RB's, the only thing that sells any slower for me are carbines. Try some different weapons.
