Hmmm lets see if I can help.

When selling off your own vendors its best to have the vendors in a mall or tent with other vendors that get regular traffic.

Getting some merchant skills can help as you are able toregister planetwide and gain the ability to advertise on the bazaar for vendor searches.

To start you may want to try selling your items straight up on the bazaar or at least placing an advertisement on the bazaar leading people to your location. Example being say build a couch/house/swoop, name it Such and Such's Arc shop waypoint 0000, 0000 and down in the description window throw a few lines in of what you carry and some prices. (Usually list your best priced items here)(List this as an Auction for 20k so nobody can bid on it and Bam you got a 7 day advertisement and depending what you made it out of couch/house/swoop it will be listed in the spot people are looking at when they want the particualr item your selling)

Also look at what your selling, 0002 if memory serves is housing, so your selling small houses I imagine as well as some artisan items. Sell what sells best starting out. Sounds silly when I type it but on Flurry for example Coreillian buildings sell very slowly so I try not to build much of them just a few to keep the rare buyer happy. Tat/Naboo/Gen always sell well, you just need people coming in the door.

Keep your prices competitive, sometimes starting your shop out you may want to go low in prices but dont go rock bottom, you dont have to sell the cheapest to build business just maintain a steady stock of items. Find an item you can produce cheaply and that should sell well and use it as a business builder, concentrate some time and resources into that type of item and get it advertised and selling and slowly build your business around that as people become more aware of you and your vendors.

As for other crafters (not sure what server your on) but seek out some of the active Arc's and Artisans on your server, see if they need or would like some help. Maybe you can open up shop with them and concentrate on houses or furniture or swoops while they work on what they want to sell. If nothing else I cant imagine an Arc that wouldn't or couldn't use walls at a fair price. We always need walls. I'm on Flurry, I will buy your walls. Dear god please bring me walls. (oh sorry got carried away)

Anyways, its a few tips, its how I started out 2 years ago. It takes time and patience but you will get there.

UNLOCKED WHEN IT MEANT SOMETHING
dec 03 -nov 05 NGE KILLED MY JEDI

If you are mainly selling small houses, I siggest getting to know as many player city mayors as possible. They are always in need of small houses for new residents. However be ready with no less than 20 of each style, as mayors usually buy in bulk. And offering a reduced bulk rate helps too.

I am a Master Artison, 0002 Architect, and have 2 vendors set up currently. My problem is, I cant sem to move any of my stuff with any type of regularity. Are there Architechts, Artisons, etc... that look for someone in my position to simpy help them create items needed to craft larger items (hope that sounds right), as I am gettting frustrated, and would be willing to take on this role. I have my own craftinig stations, plenty of resources (over 30k of most I need), but just cant/dont know how to move my products.
