Thread: Why even bother with Armorsmith?

So the 80%Kinetic-68% base i sell for 130k/Set is very cheap huh (Naritus

Hmm i sell my 38% Composite for 150k/suit. I don't think my vendor is well known cause no one buys it. I need to advertise more

if i get MA, i will only be a 10pt. MA, i cant compete with 12 pt. so i will just spend time master Armorsmith, but the 12pt. smith's will have better armor, meaning i can't compete. So is it a waste of time...?
Dude we all started at the bottom. A little tip for upcomers in the profession.
PRICE IT RIGHT!!!
I find a lot of new comers price there are armor way to high. They want to make the big bucks right away. Thats a sure way to fail. When i started I was always breaking even and sometimes in the negative cause i had to aquire a lot of resources. Sure my armor wasnt as good as the establised AS's but I aiways charged much less. And slowly but surely the customers started coming in. And as my armor got better I slowly raised my prices to reflect my work. And now my armor is slightly expensive but no one cares because i built up a good clental and and i go out of my way for my customers.
KEEP YOUR VENDOR STOCKED!!!!
I dont know how many times ii've said tis but keep your vendor fully stocked at all times. My factories never stop running!!! Nothing worse when u goto to your favorite vendor and see 100 right biceps and no left biceps. Always have crates of armor ready to go incase u start getting low on one particular piece.
ADVERTISE!!!!
Last but not least ADVERTISE!!! Let people know that u are there. No one will goto to your vendor if they dont know its there. The Trade forum is your friend. Its there for a reason. use it!!!. thousands of people go through it a day. or sit outside a starport and peddle your product. be careful not to get stupid on the spamming(every 1.5-2mins) is sufficient. If u over do it it can turn some people away and cause u loss of sales.
BE FRIENDLY!!!!
Take time to know your customers. Dont get pissed off if they ask u stupid questions. When someone sends u a /Tell or email try to respond to them as soon as u can. And this is a biggy, do those custom orders for them. it makes them feel special that u would take the time to go out of your way for them.
Trust me. if u follow this template you'll be rolling in credits and fast.
I hope this will help u and others.

Talk about doing it the hard way. Keep it simple and cheap. Ubese shirts are the way to go.
I say go rancor hunting for a buff session and harvest hide, then make Mabari shirts.... about 430 xp each.
