I've just started my Architecturing, and I've got a vendor to put stuff on. Problem is, I've no idea what to put on it :/ So I made some furnature - chairs, beds, the divan, a few types of lamps - but as of yet, nothing has sold

What do you guys find sells the most? Or sells at all?

Furniture etc can be hard to sell i had 100+ items on my vendor and so far only 1 buyer in a week(they did buy 18 items in one go) ,you should check out the baazar and see what else is around (on farstar i had a look for furniture under 1000 credits and stoped looking after i hit 1100 items with more to go) , best bet is to sell something people really need or want to get them into your shop then they might do some impulse buying when there.

It's variable.

One week I sell lots of painting, the next houses, the next armoires and chests.

Since the CU City Halls jave gone well, several a week.

Why do people pay to play a MMORPG but not want to interact with other people?
Why, SOELA, why? Did the entire management join a cult, and at the same time perform home lobotomies?
It takes less time to look at the stickies than to ask a question and wait for sarcastic replies. So please oh PLEASE ask the same question many times. I enjoy the sarcastic remarks.

Make a few factories of various types, and a few houses (at least one of each style, if you can). These may take a longtime to sell, but you might get enough to cover the overhead over time.

I manage two vendors in my guild mall: one for furniture and the other for everything else. I try to keep my furniture vendor stocked with a lot of variety. I'll usually have at least two of everything I can make. You can never tell what someone's in the mood to buy.

As far as structures and so forth, I'm not nearly as inclusive. I'll keep a few of the various small style houses around and some crafting stations and factories. Since the CU has gone live, I've added speeder bikes which are selling quite well. I've not gotten the knack for making those uber harvestors yet

.The big ticket items such as guild halls, city halls, and other civic buildings are done by request since they eat up tons of resources.

I did a factory run of 50 equipment factories and 50 food/chem factories about a month ago and I am down to maybe 7 of each.. so it just takes some time and getting your name out there.. once people know that you are out there then you will do better

Furniture sales usually are slow but as mentioned above, when someone is looking for furniture they are usually looking for a lot of it. You just have to get lucky and price yourself competitively. When shopping, I know I myself always look for the cheapest vendor and I will travel a long way to get to it. Check out the vendor search on the bazaar to find out what items are selling for and price accordingly.

I put all my items at 3cpu and then i just round it up to make a little extra money but for furniture i would say sell lamps I put 1 of each lamp into my vendor to see how fast they would sell and they sold in about 3 days. You can alos use grinding resources to make couches and chairs and stuff like that because as far as I know furniture doesnt really have to be any good.

Furniture sells are very hit or miss. My main profession is Chef but I'm mostly known for interior decorating. Food bring in customers who also may look at my furniture.

I try to also put various looted and lootkitfurniture, knicknacks and artwork on my vendor because the word "loot" (even "decorative loot")tend to attract customer's curiosity.

I am also a furniture customer. I'm not a master Architect so for resale or decorating purposesI have to buy white furniture. I go to the vendors that sell it by the crate.I alsolook forthe Bestine paintings by the crate that I dont have schems for. I also shop for decorative loot schematics and paintings. I dont do this often but when I do I buy in bulk.

It helps to put postings on your galaxy traide forums of what you have stocked and what you would be willing to make on request.

This was a Q I asked long ago, but had tio figure out onmy own. Answer is everything seems to sell eventually.

Personally I stock many houses for Tatooine (The planet I live on) I don't find that you sell too many off-planets houses, as people seem to want to shop on the planet they live on. Keep 10 Large (MY BEST SELLING ITEM OVERALL), 10 Med 10 smalls on hand (or more if you like) I also stock generic houses as well.

Heavy Max BER Havs sell well. Make sure they are MAX or people will not buy them. I find that anything less that heavies sell very very slow and probably not worth your time unless severly discounted.

Crafting Stations and factories sell steady, Id keep a few of each type around if you can at all times..

I wouldn't make too many city items unless you get a custom order. I like to keep a few Tat guild halls on hand as people like these for houses. same for large statues and city items. Most mayors seem to be architects and make their own junk.

Furniture is a pain. It sell very very slow. People like container (chest armoirs) and lighting the most. Some lighting is better than other as are candles. People dont like Banth lamps too much. People like tallbirch lights a lot. I also stock different chairs. I find that people like to buy those items by the crate to save the hassle. Craft this for fun if you like, but dont knock yourself out trying to keep it stocked with every item. On a side note I keep 1 vendor just for white furniture, this is always popular as it looks very nice.

Paintings have been very very slow. Keep some around but I would make too many in a run unless you have the storage to spare.

Try to keep prices in line with what others on your planet sell. I buy most of my ore, as I have not surveyor, which gets expensive, but I charge for it. This is not a get rich proff. I have this crafter for a little combat downtime and a hobby and it does pay for itself but it is expensive to set up.

Have fun /hi5

What i would do would put in a bunch of items that would grab customers attention from the bazaar terminal when they do a vendor search, like max BER harvesters at the lowest prices after checking the bazaar yourself. Then when they come they might see the other things and buy it. There is so much furniture out there that the most sales probably go to the ones who have a droid advertising or they leave themselves macroing for hours, my vendor barley sold anything and i had over 300 items in it

.Before i knew it a month passed, nothing had sold and it all went into the stockroom.

I have 3 architect vendors - one sells only furniture, looted and architect; one sells gear, structures, tools, vehicles; one sells only paintings/posters.

On the furniture vendor I sell only the middle-end and high-end furniture - I sell no lower-end - and I have 3 of everything on the vendor. Some specific items - for example, lights, plants, some of the chairs - I also sell in crates of 5 and 10.

I do quite a bit of business. In fact, my architectpays formy master tailor, another architect, and a master ranger. And I haven't done any advertising so far.
