I really don't see how you can say this, with the amount of people losing speeders trying to get jedi you guys are raking it in! I've had to buy 6 in the past 3 days, and I know so many other people that are in the same situation.

7months ago when I left the game I was a Master Artisan and MDE. Never really made much money as a MDE, to many parts to make, to many specific resources needed, got bored. Then when I hit Master Artisan I saw how easy swoops were to build. They need 2 different types of resources and thats it, no parts nothing. Yeah they needed about 600units or so of each but still. I stuck them on factory runs. Having recently become FS back then, I took a trip to the village. Saw how long it would take to get the crafting FS boxes or any FS boxes and thought sod it, scrapped the plan of becoming Jedi. Still wanted to make my millions. And it hit me. These swoops. Sell them to people on Dath, going to the village, at the village or just hunting on Dath. So I set up shop at the starports, sometimes in the village (i stopped that after a while 'cause it took to long to get there). I'd sell them by the crate load and made roughly 3million in 1 week.

They cannot be fixed at a garage. If so, it is definitly a bug.
The kits will net you good cash. I was dumb and drove mine around Dath, and it was 1 shotted by a stupid sith pirate. Cost me 950K to get it back. Now it is only for city jaunts.

Ok here is my two cents:
1) The BARC Speeder will not effect bike or vehicle sales. Mine have not dipped at all and not all Veterans are going to want or get one.
2) The BARC Repair kit is for bringing the BARC back from disabled status only. The BARC can be maintained through use of a garage like any other vehicle, but unlike any other vehicle it can be resurrected from disabled status by use of the repair kit.
3) The BARC Repair kit requires large amounts of Asteroid resources to make so it is very expensive. Some people will not be able to afford this item.
4) The BARC Repair kit is aone shot deal. So it will have to be pruchased each time they need to fully reapair the BARC from disabled status. So even if everybody had a BARC, bike sales might go down but Repair Kit sales wold and will remain steady.
The BARC ias a nice vehicle but it will not effect vehicle sales. Many people consider vehicles as expendable items and purchase them over and over again when a litte common sense will protect them in the long run. Vehicles will still get destroyed and need replacing,
