IF you were to sell mid mats to a catshop, what is a good price?

I'm trying to buy mid mats so I can make subs to sell ^-^
I tried 2,200 each? Then I can sell subs about 1k cheaper than the competition and still make some profit. :)

I've never done this before so this is why I'm asking. :p
Need some tips :(

    Not on Dreamweaver but it's not hard to work out.

    1. Find out what subs are selling for.
    2. Check cost per sub if bought from boutique agent. This will be be dependant on token price on your server.
    3. Work out how much profit you think is 'reasonable'.Remember, if it were a huge profit then everybody would be doing it too.
    4. Look to see what other catshops are selling/buying mats at. No use trying to buy mats if other catshops are buying at a higher price.
    5. Set up your catshop offering a price that is going to leave you with a profit margin after purchase of mats. You need to have a target sales price to work toward based on your previous research.
    6. Wait
    7. If no one is selling mats to you it might be that the harvesters are making subs themselves to sell, thus cutting out the middle man which in this case is you.

    Settting up a successful catshop/business takes some research. It's not hard. Asking people's opinions on a forum does not constitute 'research'.

    Due to the availability of subs from the boutique agent, and the competition from mat farmers, I'm guessing that sub production has a limited expectation of being a successful business.

    Thanks. I was just wondering since the other catshops I found were trying to buy them at 800 which seems kinda stupid. Subs were going at 49k so I would make a few k profit per sub which is fine for me :)

    I just wondered if 2,100 was an ok price ^-^
