I charge the base price of the weapon when the customer provides the components. If I sell a T21 for 40k, then that'sthe price I quote. Most customers will usually tip an extra 200k to 1 mil for my time and efforts

I'm using the absolute best resources to craft weapons (have used 30K resource deeds)

I've ground out the FS crafting mastery lines except for repair

I use foods and ent buffs


Is 500K per custom crafted weapon too much to charge if the customer is bringing me a looted enhancement? Should I charge more? or less? ...

How much is your time worth?

I let my customers decide most the time. I've been tipped from 100k to 2mil.

well that's the thing... I was charging 100K but have been losing creds rather than making anything. So I decided to trythe "whatever you feel it's worth", spent 2 hours crafting 7 weapons for this dude and was tipped 300K total. So that's why I am here. lol

i charged 250k per weapon i crafted - however if i liked the guy i often cut that down to 100-150


also i often did jobs for free on the understanding the guy would tell his friends about my weapons vendor - was a great way to drive sales

Pistols = 225k
Rifles = 250k
WS BUFF 100k Per weapon extra
this has been my pricing schem for the last month or two. Just added the WS Buff charge, everyone goes for it, so I basically have a 325k-350k per item charge.

Melee?? I haven't yet done one custom melee weapon since the CU....
