Well I'm currently in the process of trying to sell out the stuff I have stocked on my vendor so I can move my shop over a couple houses, but there is one thing I can say for sure. Sales of PSGs have drastically decreased. There was awhile there where PSGs were one of my biggest cash cows, but I made my lastrun quite awhile ago and I still have I'd say over half of that run left on my vendor.
I have noticed that more players are leaning towards PvP armor that sacrifices some of the stun protection in return for higher base. I guess that makes sense to a certain extent. The PvP armor I make for myself and my guildmates is always with Janta hide so I can have both the higher base and the max stun protection. For PvE I like to use the 80/80/80 combos, but a lot of players seem to be saying that they'd rather just have high base with stun protection and try to get the important resists sliced up to higher than 80%. I don't know where these people are finding smugglers to get their stuff sliced all the time, but they seem to want to roll the dice over having the sure thing. Different than how I would do it, but that seems to be what they want.

Custom 80kin padded is extremely popular
80kin/en 72base Kash Hunting for pve
30stun/80kin/70base Kash hunting for pvp
Thinking of partially phasing out of the composite business, but
30stun/80elec/70base (39/80/67 helms)
80kin/en/elec 71base
80kin/elec/67base Ultralight
10stun 80kin/blast/elec Nightsister Bane
are always popular.
Ooo, and some wooks are starting to realize that there is a use for black mountain.

I wouldn't consider my sales really good, its enough to pay the bills on my massive amount of harvestors I use.
I only have 80% Kin 65-69% Baseon there right now. I've gone up to 71% Base now though and 80% Electric and will stock that as soon as I get a full run of that together. That sells mostly as individual pieces with the chest/gloves/boots/helmet combo definitely selling the most.
I'm also going to start putting 35% Stun 64% Base suits on there as well as 12% and 17% stun. I am making both of those lower stuns because I've done a custom order where they prefered the 12% stun because I also had the electric up to 80%. I thought I might as well do the 17% stun which will sacrifice that 80% electric. I am using the 2nd worst crism on my server and I was surprised that I can get 35% stun.
Good wooly has definitely been hard to get. My supply has been running low and I've been trying to get the dant animal and avian bone as well... cause its not too bad right now.
Imp PSG's are selling ok, its been kinda steady and slow... which is ok with me because they are a pain to make
I also sell vehicles and powerups. No one has bought any kind of vehicle in quite some time. And the weapon powerups are about the same.

I am one of the Starsider smiths taking a break, but my current stock is as listed
80kin/80elec/80Ener/80Blast/70Base - second best seller
80kin/80elec/20Stun/70Base - best seller
30Stun/80Elec/70Base - first run of it so no idea..
40Stun/80Elec/68Base ** 67base Chest - sells hit and miss
Make some 76Kin Ubese, but that has never sold well for me.
