Yeah I think everyone is in "huddle up and hide" mode right now.
No one is absolutely certain what will be needed after the CU and so a lot of players are sitting things out until it goes live.
That's me all over. I'm not spending a credit until the CU is published. All of my food is on sale though. I want to clear out as much as I can. heh

Ya as a consumer, I'm just not buying anything atm. It has nothing to do with the bazaar/vendor search and everything to do with the CU and its changes. With the possiblility of having to buy different armor and weapons I need to hold on to bank account for now. If after the CU dust settles your sales havent increased or have dipped lower, then I'd worry.
I've opposed all increases on Bazaar sale price caps... and yet, afterthe vendor search feature went live, I've never done such good business on my vehicle vendor.
I was pretty much just maintaining my shop as a vanity operation, but I'm actually making so much in sales all of a sudden that -- supposing being a crafter in SWG still seemed rewarding to me -- I'd actually need to start placing harvesters again toreplenish my stocks of high SR metals.
The vendor searchfeature may not have been good for the high-end folks, but so far it's been very profitable for alow-volume crafter like myself. I'd be interested in hearing the experiences of other non-uber crafter/merchants.
Well done, SOE. If only you hadn't waitedso long to addthis highly-requested feature!
