hey guys! What formula are you using to calculate the price of your bods?

never mind! Found it! 
For anyone interested:
X = reward, Y = number of BODs used
X/(Y+1)=price per sBOD
(X/[Y+1])2=price per LBOD

what about ingot cost or time spent farming ingots, or your time to complete the bods, or how about being payed for the time to track down the missing bods or to recoup the cost of making a smith those should ALLLLLLLL be taken into account
those should ALLLLLLLL be taken into account

No it shouldn't. No one gives a shit and no one made you become a crafter. The only thing that should matter is what price the market can bear. Plain and simple.what about ingot cost or time spent farming ingots, or your time to complete the bods, or how about being payed for the time to track down the missing bods or to recoup the cost of making a smith

and thats why i stopped crafting
and im sure most will see the same trend so thanks to people like you there is no market Really, Mr. Trammy tears? I'm sure the reason our market is shit has nothing to do with people like you constantly demanding top dollar for something they pretty much got for free. Go rage about pks in General Discussion and leave crafting to the crafters, bruh.and thats why i stopped crafting

lol i have sold thousands of bods way under priced in past months just the posts, 800 bods for 1.4mil thats 1,750k per!!!! talk about HELP, please, stick to PVP
just the posts, 800 bods for 1.4mil thats 1,750k per!!!! talk about HELP, please, stick to PVPI think your formula prices the BODs too steep, and I wouldn't tie a LBOD value to the total number of BODs to fill the set. With the above listed formulas, there would be zero reason for to do business with you since the BODS are overpriced. I don't think it could be correct to value the sum of the BODS as greater than the value of the BOD reward itself. If you insisted on using a formula to price, I'd go with what I have below.
(X= Value of LBOD Reward, Y= Specifically the number of SMALL BODs to fill the set)
At best I would say the total value of small BODs for a LBOD is X/2
So, value each small BOD at X/2y
At best I would say the value of the Large BOD is X/4
... This would leave 25% profit - (tiime + resources) for the crafter. And there is certainly variance to these values when compared to individual BODS on the market, but I think it hits a decent average that you can use as a guide to price your BOD.

I generally just go with the following:
120 bs and gold runic small bods: 50k
120 and gold large" 100k
aggy small: 150k
aggy large: 300k
verite small: 250k
verite large: 750k
val smalls: 5-600k
val large: 2-2.5 mil
Prices have been dropping recently for aggy and up with the exception of val hammers - I can see aggy/verite hammers and charges sat in the selling thread. I will ask slightly more for chainmail small/large as they are much cheaper to fill than plate and am always happy to negotiate - its not like it cost me much to obtain my bods - couple of mins each run saying all sell

I've gone by less than the value of the reward.. SO if the reward is a bronze runic hammer (80k) sell the bod for 50k.

I like going just below the reward cost aswell. I woke up this morning and read this. Decided to look over my formulas in my BOD spreadsheet. and noticed I forgot my discount T_T time to reprice! <3
