Each time someone buys several items at a time from me, I wonder where they are planning on reselling it. But... if they do something value additive (i.e. getting it sliced) before they sell it, or even if they don't.. it really doesn't bother me. I get my insane ROI on Composite and my more sane ROIs on the others. I price them at what -I- think is fair. If someone sells my armor more expensively and another person buys it from him instead of coming to my shop, that's not my fault or my problem.

You have to be careful about getting mad at people for reselling wares. If i buy some amour, then find better armor, i sure am not going to just throw away the first set i bought. Of course i will resell it.
I actually sold crates of composite to a guy who wanted to stock my armor on another planet to make it easier for his guild to by my armor. I sold it to him a little cheaper, to allow him to mark it up to my normal price. My goods get spread out more, so more people see my branded armor.

But i keep track of who buys my armor on my friends list, and record how many times they buy the armor. Also, I haver had ppl look me up to repair armor that i made, that I know never bought from me. so i just ask who sold them the armor, and for how much. (normal response: How did you know ), So i then show them to my vendor, and have them spreads the work about the person resellingWord of mouth is the best thing in the game when a person is doing stunts like that.
Stunts? Thats called business. If you took the time you spent keeping track of your buyers into making money, you could probably make up the difference in what you are selling it for and what your buyer sells it for. Seems to me like a wasted effort, but its your time, not mine. =)

"Buy low, sell high" is the most basic principle of business.
What are you doing selling something on the bazaar for less than 6k?

No thought on people who brand their wares then others sell it at extorionate prices bringing the origional sellers reputation down?

If someone does buy you out and resells and you are bothered by it , simply banned them from the house your vendor is in.
