50k?! You're giving them away. I charge 150k-200k depending on quality.
P.S. Here's a bit of a trick. Go to a mission terminal, pick up two creature missions in the same direction. Go to them, but don't attack them. Abort the missions. The lairs will stay there for awhile (until server reset I believe). Go back, pick up two more missions in the same direction. Continue doing this until you have about a dozen lairs in the same area. Search them all, fly about 500-1000m away, fly back and re-search them. Continue until you have 15,000 units, or until you want to cancel your account, whichever comes first.

Good idea about getting the missions and canceling them. I should have thought of that!
I've only made one crate before and I've charged 100k. It sold in about a day.

My little trick is to just stay onyour speeder and ` search lair, normally I don't even have to slow down.

thats more like it. But don't get stuck if you can't make a crate. I usually sold these as single items. You figure the tailor will sell the end product for quite a bit. Take your chunk out of there. If they sell their clothing item for 50k, sell your tissue for 5-10k. I used to put these in singles on the bazaar for 6k and sold every one of them quickly. It's too much work to gather 10k of eggs and sell the crate for 50k, lol what a joke on yourself. Selling the eggs alone would make you much more than that.

Exactly! I mask scent, hop on the swoop, and fly around. I managed to get over 1k in an evening doing this on Naboo.

I charge 2500c for each tissue .. so for a crate of 25 Ehn Myo it is 60k
as for collecting eggs I fly about, and I ask my guildies with scouting to help out as much as possible.
I am often willing to pay 40cpu for stacks over 500 of eggs and 30 cpu for under 500. and stacks over 1k .. 50cpu
Just my two cents

Taalar u are a genius. that way u have quite a number of lairs to harvest from. how long does it take for them to respawn??
It seems to be based more on the distance that travel away from the lairs. The lairs need to unload and reload. It's the same idea for milking the creatures that spawn from the lair.

It sounds like the perfect thing to do for the lair thing is to spawn the missions, search, cancel, and go back for more missions (which is the required distance anyway)...

I make the tissues that require eggs, if and only if, the Tailor in question provides me with enough eggs to do the crate. I provide the rest of the resources and charge them 50k for the crate. Works out great. Course, not many tailors take me up on it, because EGGS
I liked this version of your post best actually. Reminds me of why I don't make pet stim D's becasue FISH!

Fish are worse than Eggs any day.
Hint: as above, drive around from lair to lair gathering as you go, but make it fun. My guildie suggested we have and Egg Hunt. We each went off in different directions, and placed our bets into the Pot to see who would get the most. Been planning to have another sometime, since it was tons of fun. Also Egging takes no Scouting skills, so make an arrangement with a Tailor, and try to get a bunch of Entertainers involved (lots of them will take any excuse to get out fo the cantina) and cut them loose, give them all an hour on the same planet, and have prizes for Most Eggs, and Most Samples, and possibly even a custom made bio-outfit for the winner.

Find a Jedi Padawan. Offer to buy eggs from them.
You have to stay on them so they remember to collect them.
I had a stack of 3k 900+oq eggs from my Jedi.
Works great if you can get them to take novice scout too.
