Ever since this patch us bounty hunter's have been getting a good lot of loot, And because of it the market value of these item's is dropping rapidly so much to hte point that doing our missions seems to becomming les and less worth it. I used to spend a while in space and make a ton till patch 21 let me get 30k average pk and some nice loot atleast 100k with the occasional jar of bug's and if i was lucky a jedi ca' or some other ca or aa but receantly i went a tried to sell some stuff and a prospective buyer said he was buyng clicing compnents for 30k? and the value of ca's and aa's are steadily dropping too. Why are we letting the buyer's set the price on our loot they set teh price on their armor's and weapons food and slicing i havnt seen their prices drop any. So lets take back the power if they want it they gotta meet our price not us meet theirs. Any way's that's just my opinion. i know some of you out there need the cash bad and i simpathise i think we all do droid's arnt cheap seeing as how they have a one use sort of deal going and we constantly need more and more to get payed and break even. but really why let every one else set the standard rate's?

Why are you letting them? Because the market is becoming too saturated with CA's. If the Dev's don't nerf the loot drops pretty soon, you will start finding jedi CA's on the bazaar.

"CA and AA" don't seem to be droppin in value much."

No, not yet. There is a huge pent up demand for jedi tapes and hq ranged tapes. But given time and I bet the AA's dropping from BH missions will be worth as much as a broken datapad. Ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but if they don't change the loot drop they will become 20-30k items. Once everybody has a full +25point suit what then?

I gotta believe that the majority of the really nice SEA's being sold on the trade forums are from the novice lvl loot farmers. They're drops need to be nerfed not the MBHs. MBHs have to put in much more time then these guys to get the good loot.

You my friend, have no idea how economy works.

When an item becomes less rare, its price will inevitably drop.There is nothing you can do about it.

Read Adam Smith's work if you don't believe me.

economics or not they were willing to pay more before why give it to them for less wouldnt you like to see more money in ur pocket?

It's not a case of "economics or not". You simply CAN'T ignore the determinate factor of commerce. It's a buyer's market, the buyer will not pay more than what they feel an item is worth no matter what you price it at.

An unsold item generates NO profit. Ignore basic economics if you wish, but that's the reason why you're not making as much money as you'd like. And you are absolutely fooling yourself if you think a BH works harder for his money than a crafter. Ive done both, you obviously have not.
