I need some stuff that I know is in different faction DBs..

BioTech Special Forces CPU
BioTech Special Science CPU
BioTech Special Rigger Interface
BioTech Marine's CPU
Crahn PSI-Core CPU
Implanter Machina Glove
Repairer Machina Glove
Recycler Machina Glove
Researcher Machina Glove
Constructor Machina Glove

Anyone know what these itemes sell for? Don't have all that money so i can't affort do get ripped off..

Most of the DB items can be built for around 60-80k, so you're looking to pay around that price plus a fair amount of mark-up... I guess the question is what you would consider to be a fair amount of mark-up :)

I'm doing SF CPU for 150k on Terra.

I seen most cst chips gloves going for around 150k. I suppose its a fair price as I see bp's going for 30-40k so add that to the cost of building
Most of the DB items can be built for around 60-80k,
In fact I'd probably pay up to 250k for complete chips or gloves as i need them as i can't be arsed to Hack 'em, Build 'em visit FSM etc. :) heh heh.

hmm.. how much CST u would need to build those chips (120/120 quality)?
As anybody tried to build em back in NC1 with ~100 CST?

Built a couple of gloves and chips yesterday with a 102 CST constructor, everything artifact.

Most of the DB items can be built for around 60-80k,Unless they radically change the recipies (and SF at least didn't change), the build cost is 35 to 50k, not 60 to 80. That's without barter.
I'm doing SF CPU for 150k on Terra.I sell SF CPUs for 75k on Terra.

Each to their own, but people are paying for my time and symp (that I had to do twice, bloody rollbacks...).

I can make money so much faster other ways, that if I was selling for 75k I wouldn't bother, could probably make more from TL150 const missions.

Well, I don't have access to all the Hacknet BPs yet, but here's 3 I've worked out costs for (parts only, fcls's not included):

Special Science CPU: x/j/x/x/d = 86,567
Implanter Machina Glove: x/c/x/d/k = 66,901
Researcher Machina Glove: x/j/k/j/x = 79,536

Based on PP costs of MNPU parts as follows (no barter):

x = 26,509
k = 13, 264
j = 6,627
d = 413
c = 206

They changed the BPs, then. The gloves didn't cost more than 45k each, and they used only one X part each last time I checked.

I seen cores going for 100k recently.

Remember that people will sell these chps at a profit.
THEY are the ones getting the BPS and csting them. Don't expect them to sell them for the same price as they have spent making them.
If someone says 'selling SFs 120k each', don't say 'rofl you cunt, I can make them for 80k'. Sure you can, but do you want to go through the pain of making it?

I think that's exactly the point being established in this thread - by publishing approximate build costs we are allowing people to make up their own mind about what they think is fair profit... I for one do not sell the items I build with no mark-up at all, but I do sell them competitively marked-up... Arm yourselves with knowledge :)

Indeed.
100-160k is an acceptable amount of mark up imo (for the ex-rare chips).

Remember that people will sell these chps at a profit.At 75k, I was making 40 to 50k per CPU. Like I said, it looks like they changed the recipies.

Hehe, you had 1337 posts when i post this ;)

And what does the SF chip give?
And you said you sell em for 75k each on terra?
Might want to buy one of those of you ;)
