Thanks to the tips you guys gave me a couple days ago things have really progressed. I am now running two medium harvesters (13 ber) and 4 personal harvesters (ber 4) as well as 3 wind harvesters ( two at 7 and one at 9) and just bought an ion generator today (ber 14). I plan on getting rid of the wind harvesters soon but for now they are making me money as I can sell the power on the bazaar. My business has grown to the point that I have more resources than what can feasably be sold on the bazaar and I am making decent profit. Either I need to find a merchant who would like to buy all my resources (at a reduced price) or set up a vendor of my own. Any thoughts on either of these? Also, if I set up a vendor does it matter where I put it? I was thinking it might be best to put it as close as possible to the starport on Corellia as that is centrally located.

I would say get your own business going, seems like you got some good resources coming in. You need to buy a house and make it public. Remember a house costs lots too of your allotment of ten. I would recommend pulling up all your winds and placing yuour fusion, it will make alot more resourceces than the three winds combined, and it frees up 2 more lots that you can use to get a house. Also you have to have business 3 to get a vendor, and merchant three to advertise on the overhead world map. After you get your shop open with a vendor make sure you advertise or people wont know you are there until you get up to merchant 3.
This is currently where I am at the moment, though I am selling mroe than just resources, am also selling vehicles, weapons, clothes and personal extractors.
Good Luck with your business.
Oh btw, you might consider putting up a custom signature and include the location of your shop when you get it up and running, not only can you advertise in game but on the boards as well. I have gotten a few sales from posting on the forums here and on swgcraft.

Nope, not on flurry, sorry, I'm on lowca. I will be dropping the wind harvesters but not until I can afford to buy medium harvesters. They DO make me some money and if I drop them right now the lots will just sit and be empty.

You might want to set up a Naboo small house, the one that only takes one lot, for a vendor. That way you're only using one lot for it, keeping the others open for your harvesters.

I've been looking at doing a merchant tent and found out they take up two lots instead of just one like a small naboo house. If that's the case then do they have more storage room than a small naboo house? In theory there should be twice as much.

what you should do is find a master arch. weapons smith, armor smith pick one. and make a deal with him and be one of his resource vendors.. this will keep you to mining 2-3 resources at once. and you will have a steady market for what you have harvested.
just my 2 cents worth.

Find a resource reseller willing to buy your resources.
Althoughyou may be selling for alittlebelow the normal market value, it is a guaranteed sale every single time.
Fastest way to get rid of ALL your resources every single time you want to sell.
You can start your own vendor, but it might be hard to find a good location with heavy traffic.
If you are able to find a good spot, you might want to give it a shot too.
Who knows, you might like it.
Bugged vendors can be a nightmare sometimes though. LOL
