Okay so I'm going to be making this in a BIG thing, forgive me if you guys don't like that, but I think its for the better of my fellow GM's.
PLZ GUYS give me your costs for the following - I want as much input as I can get:
Housing (from a coffin hotel for a night or a shack on the beach of naboo, to a luxury condo in the top reaches of Coruscant, to a full blown palace, to a full scale military base up for grabs)
Food (from trash to cavier, and as any alchohol types as you know of.)
Medical fees for treatment, including diseases and illnesses (as per the types of ailments we know of in the books and beyond.)
Medical fees for the cost of cosmetic surgerys (as many as you can think of, from stat bonus Genetherapy, to Gender alterations.)
Costs of Body Modifications (Tattoos by size and design, Piercings, and more.)
Costs of slaves (Any and every cost from any book your aware of and the costs of any you use in your games.)
I don't care if you respond with a single known item or simply a generalization of things by thier types, I just want as much input as I can get.
If you want some rules as to types - use the difficulties, IE theres six levels to dang near everything:
Very Easy, Easy, Moderate, Difficult, Very Difficult, and Heroic
Very Simple, Simple, Average, Complex, Very Complex, and Intricate.
Junk, Used, Rebuilt, Stock, Modified, and Tricked Out.
Trash, Cheap, Decent, Good, Expensive, and Rich.
etc etc.
I'll be adding to these types and lists as we go and if theres a category of items you think should be included let me know.
If you provide info we already know or have a source for - list or link to it plz. |

See if you can track down a copy of the Guide to Cultures and Society netbook. It has some homebrew stuff that might work for you. I did a Google search looking for a pdf download, but couldn't find it.

That's all I really had. The only other thing I can think of is that one of the old Warhammer 40K books I have laying around makes mentions of high-tech tattoos, like ones that can be turned on or off, or subcutaneous personal computers and the like...

Basically it quantifies as artwork.
Guess we need to add the artwork category, which if you go realistically - any artwork is worth more based on the creators popularity as well as the skill of the piece. |

That is awesome!
On the epics stuff - that's great stuff but is the ship travel cost per trip or per day?
Hmmm on Slaves I'm reminded of Watto saying "No Pod is worth two slaves!"
And yet Ani's Pod is listed at only 6-8k by Gry's Vehicle Collection, and Sebulba's at 14-18k - are we to believe then that Anakin, a child with aptitude for tech, and his mother, who displayed little skill other being a homemaker - are to be valued together at over 18k? I'm almost certain this topic came up elsewhere before.

These look like per journey. It's generally unusual to pay on a per-day basis when it's not a cruise. I'd assume the flat fee would be based generally on the journey length, assuming this is an average. (Longer/shorter = more/less money)
Remember, Luke's passage from Tatooine to Alderaan, with Ben and 2 droids, was 17,000. AND it was high enough that Han asked no questions, so probably 150-200% cost. |

Which would qualify as basically a private charter since the falcon could have gotten more passengers or some cargo but Ben stated they were in a hurry and didn't want questions or imperial interference.
So 10k became 17k. I can see that.
All prices are normally based on a x2 hyperdrive as well usually and if you factor in consumables for a x2 from Sernpidal to Kal'Sheppol you would take 73days by Mikhail's Astrogation Computer. That would cost 730 per passenger in consumables by RAW. And at that price they aren't chartering so that means the crew is free to take on cargo runs along the same course if they can get them. Which they would need to if they can only carry 6 passengers as with two crew (YT-1300 Standard) thats 5840 in consumables - meaning they only cleared 160 credits profits - which would probably be lost in docking fees along the way... Interesting, I like that. |

All I did was quote the SW Sourcebook.

Depends on time frame and currency. Under the Empire everyone used the credit and that was based on the value of the dollar in 1977
Luke couldn't get 2,000 for his landspeeder, a new car in 1977 cost about $4,000. Older model used cars go for less than half of new sticker price.
You could buy a used ship for a bit more then 10,000 credits, a new house in 1977 cost about 10,000. I have a feeling Lucas used a houseboat for this statistic, but I'm not sure.
But go to pre-empire and different civilizations use different currency, Qui-Gon and Watto arguing over hyperdrives. Your guess is as good as mine.
For my clone war game I'm treating Republic currency as modern day prices with a three republic to one hutt currency conversion.
Good luck. |

Tried to download = gave up due to minefield of pop ups and bogus links. I saw some stuff that I'd be interested in, though. Have you ever thought of putting your files on Google Docs?
