on average on corbantis a melee wpn sells for about 8k, that is 100cpu...why is this happening and so sucessful all the WS i know sell vk's for 8k or so...the reason this happens is time. We spend so much time making the wpns getting the resources, keeping an eye on harvs so on...running the biz is what relfects the prices. also i could sell my kit for 100mil easy since avg price on resources for good primo WS resources is about 30 cpu.

Prices are a little low. 20-30cpu seems about the norm for weapons. Of course that's an average. Some resources I could let go for 2cpu. Others, 200.

I recently raied my price on 190+ vk's to 100k, and posted some 195's and 196's for 120k.. They fly off of the vendor. The price isnt about CPU its about finding that great slice. Someone might be looking for weeks to find a weapn with the right stats and when they see it, they most likely have around 100k and they think its worth it.


Any elite combat class can make approx 100k in 3 or 4 rancor missions on dath.

hehe you got all the smiths that dont know better all riled up DK They are starting to get the rope out thinking you are telling them this is what they should be charging insted of using it as simply a tool they can referance for special cases.

Any half decent business man needs to know the break even point for his product regardless of what the actual market price may be at the time cause that can fluctuate wildly

And I suppose not a single on of you has any problem paying 10K for a doctor buff or 150K for a case of Vaserian Brandy. But you think 18K is too much for a Republic Blaster that a Master Pistoleer will use to run ONE Janta mission on Dant and make 22K .... and that pistol will LONG outlast the casebrandy.









oh yeah and i personaly think you should charge whatever the market will take and more power too you if that is 10,000 cpu on your items. However your statement isnt correct on the gun outlasting the brandy for most people.


I personaly go through a gun before i finish one of the 25 stacks of brandy of of a crate. Just ask DK how many i haul around and get him to periodicly repair.

Di-Kiem you should make a new chart that includes subcomponents. Or stop complaining.







Hmmm I wasn't complaining. The point is, yes I understand if a nice slice you could ofcourse sell it much higher. The primary purpose of it was to see in actuallity how low can you go with suffering lost.


If you get a 35% slice on it, sure by all mean sell it for 100k, 200k, or higher. But un UNSLICED weapon. You honestly think selling an unenhanced, unsliced normal scout blaster for 15k is reasonable? My goal is to accommodate the newbie and other people who don't have tons of money to blow.


If I get a 35% slice on that scout blaster, hell I'll sell it for 100k or more because it is the elite class at that point willing to pay for the best.


So the point is, how low can I go to help out newbie w/o burning out my money. Pricing it average @ 10cpu is very reasonable. Especially current spawn material is much lower in price.

I only do melee, but sell all of them at 6k and put them on bazaar. Have no problems keeping them moving
