Now that a few days have gone by......
I'm annoyed I didn't have big stuff on my vendor the first day!
Furniture sales seem a little down.
Houses dind't move much to start with.
Basically I'm holding even. I *may* drop prices a tad. Maybe. Eventually. But I also want to earn a living off of my vendor with enough time to hunt (I supply my own fish, my own hide, my own Alderaan Flora, and some meat for the guild), and I like having time to launch Hippy Tie Die (as my fighter is called) and turn some rebels into space dust. If I halve prices to double sales, I end up losing......

I think things are stabilizing. My sales are finally picking up, though not to pre-patch levels. I suppose it helps that I am also a merchant and sell other people's loot for a small cut (the av-21 schematic I sold made me happy).
Pre-patch I sold alot of furniture and lighting. I invested heavily to get me vendors stoked with plenty of anything my clients and customers would need. Now I have lots of inventory just sitting around (at least it doesn't rot). I have begun to sell some houses again, which is odd; my prices are a tad higher than most (10K for a small house).
I have seen the prices on BER 13 harvesters stabilize. At one point I saw a bunch selling for 80K and they are gone now. I hope one of my colleagues on Bria bought them out. Now prices are back to about 100K. This is still about 20K lower than I would like to see them, but things are getting better.
We'll see if this trend continues...

My sales took a serious spike after the search was brought in as sold 10 BER 13 moisture vaporators in a day, 3 or 4 ion generators, 3 or 4 medium houses and adding this with other sales i can't remeber off top of headmade about 1.5-2 million over last Saturday and Sunday. Have made about 1 million from someone in my guild buying new harvys factories etc for his alt after he unlocked jedi.
Stuck some BER 13 flora farms on last night and 10 minutes after doing this sold 4 of them so the search does work or else i just got lucky and no one else had any of what i had in stock.
So all in all 3 million plus in sales in about 4 days so enough to keep me in profit after buying resources and mining my own so it is slow going but at least it is moving.

Did a whopping 60k in business yesterday, selling an old, marked-down BER12. That was it.

Where's your shop? I'm on Tat, halfway between Bestine and Anchorhead. Just past the demolished fort. A tent on Theed thats ESE in the front of the ring, but it's doing next to nothing.

My shop is 800m south of Theed SP. It was the ideal location a bit ago
I can't complain to much, that place had made me rich over the 19 month's I've been playin.

vendor owners in my city have seen drastic decline in customers...my city is just a remote metropolis on Lok ...but we did get a nice traffic of customers coming through up until the patch...now things are dead.
i think architects are going to just mostly wind up extinct at the rate the devs are going continuing to chip away their customer base. about the only crafting professions that can make money and keep customers is weaponsmith and armorsmith...the rest of the crafters just suffer.

Yep - i am still feeling the pain of the new system. Sales are terrible, traffic to the city seems down. I have been a Master Architect / Master Droid Engineer for over a year and sales at this time are the worst I have ever seen them. As much as I hate to say - I am starting to consider changing professions, that is - if I can ever sell out my stock.
/sigh

Sales picked up for me, my prices are somewhat low. Some other Architect said that I wont keep it up for long, because prices of resources are too high. But I'm still making a profit. So, I think is a good thing! *shrug*

For you Bria people, I need help on pricing, I master Architect like 3 weeks ago and I've just been making stuff left and right.
How much should I sell this stuff?? Here's an example of what i've been sellign and for what price.
Factorys: 60k each
Houses: City Halls: 200k, Guild Malls: 150k: (now it gets tricky) Large: 75k, Mediums: 50k, Smalls: 8k
Harvestors: Fusions: 120k, Rest: 110k
Furniture: just started to make some....
Am i pricing correctly under or am i over??

I'm not on Bria but a good way to get an idea of pricing now is to go check out the galaxy wide vendor search. Yes there will be a zillion pages there but its time well spent to skim through the deed section and see what the prices are like on your server. That will give you the ballpark range. Then you can decide for yoruself where you want to price your stuff either high or low.

Well, I have to say that in my previous post, I spoke too soon. My sales went up for a day or two after the vendor seacrch came out, but they've dropped back down to one item a day, if I'm lucky.
