I'd say sell the best ones you can make and then price them reasonably. Soon people will start asking you for those weapons anyway and expect you to have them. So, really you'd be saving yourself a lot of problems making them. And yes many people will still buy them from you knowing that those weapons are super uber top quality, as long as they know that the top is your goal.


That's just my 2 creds.

So, I'm starting to get a good influx of customers now that I been in business for the last week. My primary business has been in the Pistol and Laser Carbine niche, but I have recently started to sell a lot of melee weapons. Doing the rounds to area master weaponsmiths, I see that my weapons are in the "top notch" area, which is where I want to be. I wish to sell high quality weapons, and not just anything I can whip together from my current resource pile.


So, now I'm starting to venture into the heavy weapons arena and I notice that my output is not what I would call top shelf. For example, On my server, Starsider, one can by a LLC from a top weaponsmith that has the basic stats of 407-747 damage, 4.2speed, yet my best possible product is 389-726 damage, 4.5 speed.


My question is, should I bother stocking this weapon at a proper discount? (Thinking 10% lower price for the 10% lower effectiveness) Or should I just wait till I get better resources to be more competitive with the top tier weaponsmiths in effectiveness.


Your thoughs and input is greatly appreciated.


Kindest Regards,


Wan-Klip, Master Weaponsmith. Starsider
