anvil /e repair price rise

Advocaite not everyone with e repairs is going to agree with this. Because of that Someone might be selling an e repair for 200 and someone would be selling one for 1k, which do you think someone buying an e repair would buy?

 

This is not quite a server suggestion.. it's more of a "everyone should do this" thing, this doesn't belong in suggestions.

This would be in... general discussion.

 

While mining/doing whatever I am, if I'm doing e-repairs at $200 each or $500 for all , and $500 for anvil service, I make a ton. With almost no required effort as well.

^This. I just set my own slightly below the current market's price, and get more buisness because of it.

 

Sadly, this is the case:

Although most people with Ext.Commands would agree with you trying to raise the prices, no one in their right mind would buy a repair for $1,000 if someone else is selling for $200.

 

Sorry, I have never nor will I ever charge someone for e-repairs, as I don't think I should charge someone for something that took no effort.

 

Well, I consider $100 or its equivalent in EcoDollars to be quite a big effort...

I agree with what JBuks and Zardgyer said. Even with $200 per, you can still make some good easy money, and those who sell for less will always have a big advantage. Very few people will buy each E-repair at $1,000, if any.

 

Its possible to raise the price, but only for short times, I remember when me and 98brando raised E-Repairs to $500 each for 3-4 hours because we were the only people online who could repair. Then some one else came online charging less and the price was straight back down. If you try at off peak times you can raise the price for sort amounts of time, but eventually the price will always get back to $100-$200

 

I charge for the service only because it takes time out of what I'm currently doing to do an e-repair. That is why my standard pricing is 200 for 1, 350 for 2, 450 for 3 and 500 for 4 or more. Sure, I could charge a little less. But, it is a matter of convenience for me and the person getting the e-repair. There are times when it seems that I'm the only one on doing e-repairs, too. The person seeking the e-repair is happy to pay for the repair because it allows them to use their tool to make money or MCMMO xp.

You can attempt to raise the prices if you want. However, there will be the odd person doing e-repairs for $50, which is pretty much not even worth my time to do because I could earn $50 doing something else instead of spending time waiting for someone to take a tp, toss me their item, me do the repair and toss their item back. I got e-repairs for myself so I don't have to seek out someone to do a repair. I even had an infinite e-repair person and had to make more tools because I would have to wait for them to login.

Finally, even if you could get everyone to cooperate, this wouldn't do anything to the experience market because people will still pay $1k instead of making new tools. What is really needed is an experience sink and a better money sink than the lottery.
