I was curious how much everyone charges to make a Custom weapon.
- Price when they have schematic only?
- Price when they have the Schematic and Looted parts?
- Price when they have Schematic, Looted parts and Resources?
I was looking a General value. Curious if everyone has a system or a straight set price no matter the work required.

If the customer provides the parts required (besides resources) I let them decide a fair value.
If I provide any of the items, full price I charge. I suppose your price table would be reflective of the galaxy you are in and one's greed. 
If someone asls me to make them a weapon that I stock, they get an email with a wp.
If they ask me to make them the BEST weapon, after receiving said email... I usually try to explain for a bit. I'm too nice i know. Oh well. Most people in this game are nice I think, some are not, but still... they're people too.

Last time i was a smith i would do my best to talk them out of an extra loot comonent. As an Armorsmith i do that as well for making RIS.
If that failed i charged the price that i would sell an unenhanced version of that same weapon for.
However this time i dont belive i will be taking custom orders except for people that i know and my own stuff of corse. I dont name any of my weapons with my weaponsmiths name anymore or advertise that he is the smith i will just sell them under the company name.

Mostly if they supply the loot I'll make the item at an unenhanced price, and tell them I do accept tips if they are happy with the work. So far I average an extra 75-100k per weapon. I have had a guy just pay me the standard price for a jawa, but then a few days later a guy tipped me 250k for one. It kinda averages out in the end.

schematic without loot:
depends on what kind of schematic, i.e. D-10 50%% of the price,
scyths, hacks for free if they provide the schematic.
schematic and loot (and/or resources):
for free because I can still make a lot of cash with the left over uses if the schematic

I have this:
Custom order cost is: normal weapon cost (see below for special weapons) + custom order charge
1) For weapon assembly from already made components. This includes Acklay batons/powerhammers or where we use standard components already made (non-krayt DRX6 Disruptor for example): +20k
2) For each hand made component. In this category falls nym enhanced vibrounits, single handler/feedmech guns (Berserker, FWG5, Scatter, E11 etc) + 10k
3) Components made in factory. For example when making weapons which require several identical components. For example weapons using several handlers, Scythe (require 2 identical geo cores). Cost +30k / factory run
Example (this is when you bring us the loot components):
- Acklay stun baton : 8 k (normal wep cost) + 20k Custom order (assembly)= 28k / weapon
- Scatter: 10k (normal weapon cost) + 20k (assembly) + 10k (handler) = 40k
- Krayt Republic blaster: 10k (normal weapon cost) +20k + 30k (1 factory run required) = 60k
- 2x Krayt Republic using one set of tissues (=1 factory run of handler using 5 tissues): 2x 10k (normal weapon cost) + 2x20k (assembly) + 30k (factory run)= 90k
2) For each hand made component. In this category falls nym enhanced vibrounits, single handler/feedmech guns (Berserker, FWG5, Scatter, E11 etc) + 10k
3) Components made in factory. For example when making weapons which require several identical components. For example weapons using several handlers, Scythe (require 2 identical geo cores). Cost +30k / factory run
Example (this is when you bring us the loot components):
- Acklay stun baton : 8 k (normal wep cost) + 20k Custom order (assembly)= 28k / weapon
- Scatter: 10k (normal weapon cost) + 20k (assembly) + 10k (handler) = 40k
- Krayt Republic blaster: 10k (normal weapon cost) +20k + 30k (1 factory run required) = 60k
- 2x Krayt Republic using one set of tissues (=1 factory run of handler using 5 tissues): 2x 10k (normal weapon cost) + 2x20k (assembly) + 30k (factory run)= 90k

Yesterday a guy wanted 5 nice upside-down acklay bones made into hammers. I paid him 1 mill so I could keep the hammer that didn't experiment properly for personal use, something like 330-550 damage.
