Given that BER I assume that these are the small/personal harvesters available to you at Eng 3?
One credit is probably too much for those.
Seriously, the small harvesters range from BER 1 to 4, and anyone with Eng4 + DomArts4 can make a BER4 without a lot of effort. They *are* useful to people just starting out, and I used to stock them for 3K on my vendor, just as a convenience.
My guess is that the only people who would buy a BER 3 harvester are players who are brand new to harvesting and don't know any better. I suspect that that isn't a good thing to base your business on in the long run.
In general any harvester of any size that is less than the max BER (listed in the FAQ) needs to be deeply discounted to sell. In the cases of smalls that takes the price down to extremely low.
If you want to sell them, get yourself to Eng4 + DomArts 4, get some decent resources, make a schematic, and just run some batches off in a structure factory.

I bought a BER 3 in the very first days of my game experience. It was of use to me then, and I think I paid some k for it. Why don't you just check the bazar terminal? There you should find some of these items that target the newbie player market. I doubt you will be able to sell your harvester anywhere else btw.

its a tough one as it depends on the economy on your server. Om farstar the BER 13 harvesters sell for 30k so a BER3 would prob only sell for 6-7k.

30k? Wow, that's a deflated economy considering that the harvester takes almost 28k resources. IIRC, baack in my novice days, the personal harvesters were selling on the bazaar at 1k for a BER4.
