As a Master Scout I find it difficult to know the quantity of the item I'm selling on the Bazaar. What size stacks are good for Artisans? 500, 1000, 10000? Just curious to know what size stacks of hides & bones I should be selling on the Bazaar.
Also if anyone would like me to exclusively provide them with what they need I could do that also. I am on Chilastra server.

Keep in mind that you can only have an asking price of at most 6k on bazaar.
So....sure most artisans would love to get 10000 units for 6k. Heck...I would. but that isn't fair to you.
I think you will find that you sell more if you sell a lot of a resource than just a little. Because for armorsmithing and the like, folks like to have their armor pieces identical. So...if you have 20k of hide being sold in smaller stacks...that's better than just 2k of the hide if the crafter doesn't have another source.
I found that I would pay more if I could get a lot of a specific resource. Because I don't like lots and lots of unmanageable stacks taking up storage space. But maybe that's just me.
3 cpu is fine for grinding hide...I find hide doesn't stay up long if it's in a high traffic location and for 5 cpu or less (so maybe you should price it at 5) on my server, but different servers may be different. This may mean a trip to coronet or theed or maybe the dant mining outpost but that trip is probably worth it. Hide can stay up a long time if it's poor quality and in a remote location.
The price on hide should vary with its statistics. Armorsmiths for instance like high OQ and SR (with MA and UT as secondary stats) on wooly hide for composite.

Thank you. That was very helpful. I'd still like to try and find someone who I could deal with specifically for their needs.

I would find an armoursmith or two in game and ask them what their resource requirements are .... then strike up a deal with them. You'll have a ready market for your harvested resources, and they'll have a steady source of those resources.

the ranger and scout forums have a couple of things that might help...one is links to various methods for determining the appropriate pricing forthe different types of organicsbased on the stats.
the other is that sometimes crafters post there to ask for scouts to go get them large stacks of a particular something
otherwise check www.swgcraft.com to see what the different crafters need and then target crafters that way by what you have in large quantities...more is always better
good luck

I'm of the opinion that the scout or ranger gets a better deal if he checks the trade forums.
Folks are always advertising that they are paying xxx cpu for yyy resource. And the CPU tends to be very nice and quite high.
It wouldn't be bad to get some nice wooly and auction it on your server's trade forum and then try to work out a deal with the person who won the auction. That would guarantee you a high paying customer.
If you establish a long-term relationship with an armorsmith, unless you're making a really exceptional price (cpu) on the hide, the deal ought to include reduced prices on his best armor. I think most ASs would oblige you on that one.
