and what level are you? i hear people saying they made 20-40K a day. what the hell do you sell? drugs?

I suspect those people sell bone armor. I also suspect as more and more folks make that, that the amount one can make will drop.

I have not been selling armor, and I make far less with the little staples I put into the bazaar (I have made about 6000 since release).

Eventually, house deeds and weapons will be the primary money makers. Just wait till somebody starts putting a significant number of scout blasters on the market...

Dzikson,

Well I think the trick was to sell high end CDEF's and Bone Armor before the market became flooded and Weaponsmith and Armorsmith could make better goods. My CDEF's had the following stats:

Dmg 29-59, SPD 3.5

That pretty much blew most stuff out of the water so I could sell as many as I could possibly make for the first few days. Now that we have novice weaponsmiths I think this market will crash to about 100 cr and a pretty limited sales.Pretty much the same thing with armor, I had setup a couple of relationships with scouts in betaso when SWG hit the shelf we where off and running while a lot of other folkswerelearning the ropes.This all kind ofpoints towhat Ithink may be a problem with SWG, which is if your not keeping up with theArmorcrafter/Weaponsmith next door then you have no place in the crafting market. I could be wrong and Ireally hopethat I am. Anyway not to be a drag but I think that market oppturunity is now gone and if you not making the newest umbr weapon or armor your going to need to take a couple days off school/work and grind up to weaponsmith.

PS - On the other hand when they open a new server you might hop on it and kick some economic butt. :-)

There's still new people coming into most servers, and even the full ones have people who are slow to level and appreciate well crafted lower-level weapons. Also, the power-levelers have abandonded the CDEF market, and are starting to get out of bone armor as well, so I still think there's some real opprotunity there. I've been making a decent profit on CDEFs recently. Not 20-40k a day, but enough to keep me advancing and doing everything I want. Then again, I'm not trying to grind my way through the game either.

Oh, I did forget one trick I learned in beta. Most of the grinders lean toward making chestplates and helmet etc in the bone armor catagory since the xp is very high for them. Try making bracers and bicep's (mostly bracers). In the beta at one point I decided to be a armor crafter after the server had been up a while and I was able to sell a ton of braceres and bicep's. I would say I sold5 sets of bracers and biceps to every chestplate. And I belive the best part is with the UXP it adds up to about the same since you sell them very fast.
