Just curious, but our group "acquired" a used stock G9 Rigger and found ourselves on one of the core worlds in need of selling the old beast. So as you consider your offer here's the condition of this ship.

Ship was in stock configuration with weapons intact. (All working okay).

Deflector Shield Generators were burned out and not functioning.

Hull had sustained 80% Damage.

And there was no Hyper Drive installed.

Other than that, the ship was in "good" shape . . .

Oh, and the Title was clean.

So . . . How much for this beautiful opportunity? What's the "Salvage Value" on this?

Without a hyperdrive, it's practically worthless to most spacers.

Yeah okay , but how much?

Less than 10k after the hull damage and shields have been repaired, and that's only if somebody has use for it in a single system. As scrap metal, you might get 2-3k for it.

I would say more like 5k, maybe up to 15,00 credits if fully repaired. Up to 30k if you add an hyperdrive for about 10,000 material costs yourself, which should take a while to properly install, test, etc just do that mechanic and negotiation check to fix the thing.

The bigger elephant in the room is your BoSS entry. Are you the registered owner and can your transfer the ship to someone else? Because if not, repairing will not do you any good and those 5k scrap metal price are evaporating too. The galaxy is rich in scrap metal, be happy if they don't charge you for removing the trash from the planet. ;-)

Nope. No repairs. Sold as is.

The BoSS or "Title" was clean.

And the year was about 1 ABY. To my understanding, that ship hadn't been produced for several decades (IIRC).

The G9 is a piece of crap when it's brand new and fully functioning. This thing isn't a museum piece, it's the kind of thing up on blocks outside a run-down landing field. It's only there because it's more expensive to legally dispose of it than to let it sit and grow more tetanus.

5k, buyer will take the engine signature + plus BoSS entry, rip out the weapons, kitchen and whatever else is still useful and scrap the whole thing, with broken hull, shields and missing hyperdrive the thing is is basically a total loss.

The autoblaster would be worth 3k new, light blaster cannons go for 4k a piece, making 11k new price for the weapons, a quarter of that are 2,750 credits, still someone might pay a 1,250 credits for the clean entry and engine signature and a few scrap pieces, etc … so 5k is even a generous offer … if you want to run a negotiation check, reduce it even further as the players could significantly increase the price with that check and you never want to reach something above 12k or so, so make the initial price to something like 3k in that case

Maybe something like: offer of 1,5 k (failed check), 3 k (success); +250 per advantage.

Thank you all for your insights.

I really appreciate it.

We did sell this ship in our last session on Corellia (a major industrial world hungry for raw materials). We sold it for Cr5,000 and I thought the GM was being awfully generous.

Basically our salvage value was just under 10% of the original value. Could happen in the right circumstances I guess and in this case it did.

Fortunately, the cargo we were hauling was worth enough for us to upgrade to new YT-2400.

Again, thank you to everyone who participated.

Time for some serious smuggling runs in the corellian system to test drive that baby? ^-^
