I've just kicked out my first runs of composite and ubese from my factories, so i have about 40-50 suits on my vendors, however sales are terrible, i've only sold about 3-4 suits in about 2-3 weeks!, is everyone else experiencing slow sales since the release of JTL??.
Here's the link to my post in the trade forums offering my armour, can u have a look and tell me if i'm pricing my suits wrong or something?, i don't think i am, but just in case.

Any advice welcome!
Thanks,

We're experienceing the same thing on Tarquinas.
I think the Holiday's combined with the influx of new games like EQ2 and WoW have thinned the populations on a few if not all the servers.
Most are seemingly waiting for the Combat upgrade to get back into SWG.

My sales are steadily increasing... they were kind of slow when JTL was launched, but most people have gotten bored of it quite quickly so they're back down on the ground 
Your post seems fine, prices look low enough (well compared to Chimaera, not sure what Bria's economy is like). Your sales might be low because not many read the trade forums (possibly 5% of the servers population, if that), but other than that I can't see what you're doing wrong

maybe 10 suits a week ... ive slowed down my runs now ...
expect to see more of this as more people become jedi .. they dont wear armor so as they convert to jedi = 1 less customer permanently.
Also as PVP has dropped the wear and tear on armor isnt there so suits are lasting longer and there is no reason to buy more.
And that im pretty sure we lost at least half the SWG population since patch 9 came about there are alot less players to buy stuff to start with.

My sales are insane, making prolly 2 mil a night, but I do runs in 100-200 suits.

My sales on Bria are spastic, although in general they have recovered somewhat from the solo grp chg/WoW/eq2 stomach punch. On Jan 3rd I had my best single day sales ever, 7million. Some days sales are 300k.
I don't often advertise on the trade forums Jay, and even when I do I don't see it affecting sales. The community on the boards represent only a small portion of the server population, and they are more cliquish by nature; how do you think some of the people selling what you sell for 2x the price stay in business? :-p
I don't advertise much if at all, but when I do I usualy do barker droid since I'm not a big fan of afk spamming. I have alot of Bria AS/WS on ignore, not cuz I don't like them, but becase when I do, Coronet is much less laggy
