Ever since this games inception artisans have complained that they do not have a market. There is nothing they can sell. Well here you go... SWG finally gave you an amazing product you can sell and you could sell it for a lot of credits.


But what does everyone do??? You knuckleheads all try and undercut each other and now, on day one no less, these fantastic vehicles that were given to you are WORTHLESS! Your selling vehicles for less than 5cpu when you could be selling them for 25. Congratulations, you finally got your product, and you screwed yourself. Have fun harvesting all that steel.

Yup.. anyone charging anything less than 100k for anyone of the vehicles today is a knucklehead. Have fun. I won't be selling.

Well said. people are selling them for 10k on our server. I can't even buy the resource that cheap to make one.

My rate for MA parts and droids/parts is complexity * resource count which is what I hoped to do with these as well. This would put the prices as follows:


x34 Land Speeder__ 25 * 4,250 = 106,250


Speed Bike __ 20 * 6,000 = 120,000


Swoop Bike __ 20 * 8,000 = 160,000



I sold an x34 at a steal for 30k to recoop some of the money I was expecting to get. And for now the price on my vender is at 50%Complexity * resource count. I hope that as metal dries up and price of metal goes up, MA's will wake up and raise the prices so we can sell at the intended price. People are saying the repair cost is too high, but only when the units are being given away.



And don't feel bad for the combat people that will be buying them They make good money. What crafters sell is their way to make money and it must be made in lump sums because the demad will aways level out low.

YES. I AGREE AND FLAME ALL UNDERCUTTERS.


I didn't even bother selling one on opening day. You people are dumb, dumb, dumb.


We coulda made good cash here people. But the undercutters blew it. It seems that Creature Handlers and Bio Engineers are much smarter people in general.

I have to agree with the original poster on this one. i hit the game first chance and see people selling these for 35-45K..... i was absoultely disgusted! MOUNTS were selling for 150K initially and those are SLOW DUMB ANIMALS!!!!! We are offering high tech, fast, high qual (hopefully) for one/fifth what we got ripped off for. I cant wait until you 'retards' run out of resources so i can sell vehicles and make some real money!!!!

Your right and it makes me sick , I am not even home from work yet and I have been waiting for this day now for 3 years have spent at least 100k to get ready , Every thing that I read said they would sell for about 50k and now I log on to the message boards and look what good news I get , Those dumb >>>>>> are selling them for under 20k what a bunch ofdopes they ruin the game and our chance to finaly make some cash , I do not understand the way these kids think . And if there not kids I can not tell you how dumb they really are I am so upset that we have these goof balls ruining the game for the rest ... I can not belive this at all if I would of knowen this a few weeks ago I would not of wasted my time and money buying all these harvestors man oh man what a joke , I wish Us Artisans would all read the message boards and try and follow the pricing guide lines but nope our little ones either in the head or the real thing have to ruin it all for the rest

Selling Vehicles for 5cpu or less isn't the problem. Buying resources for 5 cpu or more is the problem. Get off your asses and mine your own resources and you won't be 'undercut'.

How many vehicles can you build and sale in 1 week? A MCH can sale approximately 20 mounts excluding Spats and must give up all of his own pets in order to do so.

Two major problems that undercut us all.

1. Carpetbaggers who converted to MAs just for this release.

2. The limit of one vehicle per datapad.

This made me very mad. I have complained along with other that MA has no profitable items. Well we finally get good schematics and people start trading vehicles for resources! VEHICLES FOR RESOURCES! YOU CANT PAY FOR YOUR HOUSE MAINTANENCE WITH STEEL! You retarded MA's selling for 10k ruined it for me and my friends. I need money. and so do you.
