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?

Even if a few bh do undersell just cut off your sells,they cant flood the market it that heavy.We need to take lessons from opec.I dont sell anything but bh schems and ca's my guild cant use.

Mate did you ever hear about supply / demand? The more of this loot that drops, the more is selling, the lower the prices will be. Basic economics.

In any market the BUYER ultimately sets the price.
Period. That's the way it works.
Nothing is worth more than someone is willing to pay for it today, unless you think they're gonna be willing to pay more for it tomorrow (which isn't gonna happen with supply increasing faster than demand).

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? iim mearly sayng that we shouldnt be giving things away so easily. that's why uless you were huntin jedi bh wasnt a particularily lucrative proffession in my opinion while armor smiths weapon smith's cheff's and jedi get all the money the rest of us were left wanting or having to work harder for the same amount of cash.

CAs and AAs dont seem to be dropping in value much. Actually it's just the slicing gear that have really taken a hit. And before the slicing "revamp" there wasnt any loot to sell in this area.

I have a bh and a smuggler, so i use my bh to get slicing supplies then give them to my smuggler who now only charges no more than 50k to 100k to fully slice a weapon. So yes i am undercuting everyone and i already made like 12 million credits doing it!!!!!
