Thread: I can't make money
Why is it that I seem to hover right at the 4Kbanked mark, no matter what I try? LOL
I see people buying factories and owning large homes... while I can barely squeek by running some harvesters and owning a small home. Every time I try and go to market with resources, I rarely can find a buyer. Low end stuff has all but fallen off (it was bound to happen), bone armor is worth nothing anymore it seems (even when it's 25% energy protection like I usually make).
How are you guys making money? I must be doing something wrong...
Starting Artisan.
I long ago gave up making money as an artisan by (ghasp) selling things. Powerplayers flooded the market with higher level weapons and armor before I was even able to make them. Like you, by the time I was able to make bone armor everyone who wanted it had it.
I make my money solely by running delivery missions. I'll take two at a time and make about 1000 credits after my shuttle ticket fee. I'll do 4 or 5 of those every couple of days to make enough money to pay maintainance on my harvesters.
Occasionally I'll sell something through the bazaar, but it is very rare. I have better luck talking to people one on one and telling them about the items I can make.
