Being a new Master AS on Bloodfin, I've found it nearly impossible to get a steady flow of businesss since I'm an unknown. I've tried sitting in the starports and other ways of trying to get interest in my shop. But with the way the stats on many of our recent resources are, at times it seems I can't produce product that compares to what people like Tranzar push out. Maybe thats my problem, but I'm not sure.

Blevi,
Back in the day i could not keep the vendor stocked as the first master on our server it was nice. I have noticed the slow down about 6 months now. I also found that with the Jedi not needing armor it got slower.
I only sell a few sets a week now about 5 to 10 but when i hit master it was set after setand not paying for hides ether. The customers gave me the hides and depending on the stats and how much i gave them a cut on the armor.

Figure out how to make 75% padded armor or even 80% padded armor. Get novice scout and harvest your own resources. Or join a nice guild and be prepared to give a few suits to folks who help you out with resources. Get 4 barker droids (with 10 item storage) Set them up and drop them in MO, coronet, bestine, and theed. travel away from theed to rori, endor or lok and adventure. Note - droid batteries last longer if you leave the planet. (I had barker take 50% of battery charge in 5 hours - using patrol points.)
Want to hear obsurd? I sell 65% ubese for 170k. and people buy it left and right.
Make sure you show up on the planet map every day. You have to go into your shop after reset - vendors dont show up on the map till the shop is visited. Ask your customers to supply you with resources. Payment in trade works quite well if you don't have cash to pay 100 cpu.
