Come think of it why wouldnt I just make factories and sell them for 40k myself? I have two wendors... Do factories have stats you need to experiment? Efficiency etc, does it matter? Would making structure modules in factory than walls to sell do me any good? DO I get ANY xp - by standing by the factory? Didn't seem so last night...
That's what I did... and I must say, there seems to be a HUGE market for factories. If you have enough Merchant skill to advertise on the map, just name one of your vendors "Harvestors and Factories" and you will get traffic. If that isn't possible, then run to Theed and/or Coronet and announce that you have Factories and Harvestors for sale, and when a person sends you a tell then lure them to your shop. (Never trade them in the city because then they'll never see what else you have to offer 
)
I can't keep my vendors stocked with factories or harvestors. When I put them on there, they are gone within a day. Food factories have been the most common lately. It's interesting what kinds of gossip an architect can make up:
"Hmm.... seem to be selling an awful lot of food factories lately. I bet people are using them to make mass amounts of medicine. There must be a lot of sick and wounded people... You know! I think there's a war going on right now!"
Secondly... factories will never grant you any exp. Not even making the schematic gives you exp. I never used my factory until I was a master. It's not worth it.

The problem with thinking about selling harvesters on the way to Master Architect is that realistically you need to be 0/4/2/0 at least before you can make competative harvesters (people are NOT buying medium harvesters with BER less than 8 or so) AND you need a stockpile of high-quality resources, which you typically can't accumulate very well while grinding. So I don't think selling harvesters fits the "quick and economical" criteria at all.
I'm new to grinding Architect too, but i made statues.
you dont have to just make gungan heads, after it shows you the gungan head drop down the list and you can make other statues.
i sell weird and strange statues. also the sentinel statues sells pretty good. i've just put them on the bazar now. 3k. it doesnt make up for what i spend on harvesting, but better than nothing.
i still have my master Doctor so thats my income, but architect for now has taken me from 500k credits to 200k

i noticed there is a good market out there for street lamps, cause guilds and cities want them, but you also have to have master artisan to make the lighting component of it.
