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.
Any idea what else a master artisan can sell? Not much of anything. Six in three days is high.

Vehicle repair kits.
Seriously. I'm selling about 10-15 vehicles per week now, and most buyers also pick up one or two vehicle repair kits... but speakingas a Master Artisan, I have to sayyou're right -- other than vehicles, not much else sells at all.

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,
ok for reply 3:thats what i hate btw just cuz you have to go through a little bit of effort instead of planting a harv its very expansive..not making much sense or 99.9 percent of the crafters is lazy
Ack.
Sorry -- make that vehicle customization kits that are selling well.
Slight difference there.

Carbcrafter: Barc Speeders have the exact same landspeed as an AV-21 with Master Ranger level terrain negotiation thrown in for good measure.

I'm pretty sure you are incorrect. In testing, the BARC out-preformed the Swoop without trouble. From everything I've been able to discern, the BARC and AV-21 seem to perform identically - both had the same top speed as the swoop, but higher terrain negotiation.
I'm averaging 200k of powerups / day (5k/crate) .... never did see how people selling swoops make any money ... i make more selling the raw resources ... not worth the trouble ... and probably 100k on a bad day and up to 500k on a good day on artisan foods as was already mentioned ... I only do BE food though .... and the cost is minimal since I have a BE

I have a good trade in artisan level foods. theya re cheap and easy to make and give nice statndard buffs of 30 minute duration. I have an unregistered vendor in my Cantina selling them for guildees but other people do find it and when they do they buy like crazy. Admittedly you wont make millions but you will make thousands!
