Being an armorsmith I usually end up with a couple High SR resources around that are not quite what I needed for armor so I throw them together usually into 93%+ swoops and have people asking me for crates of them.

I have been selling quite a few speeders lately, the resource requirements are lower so you can make more, and still make some decent credits.

There is never any need to under cut or over charge your customers. As long as you have a fair price on your items, and well stocked you will get business, and it will increase over time. It doesnt matter if your on Rori, Talus or some of the more popular planets.

Great response. Now all you have to do is define "fair". Hmm can't really do that can you? What's fair to you isn't fair to me. So if you charge 100k for something and I charge 10k for it are you price gouging or am I undercutting? Maybe you're level 1 and died 16 times trying to collect the the resources and need to make that up. To you 100k is fair because ofall the troubleyou went though to make it. I'm level 54 (or have a level 80 alt) and never died at all.

If you're going to sell swoops Id sell other artisan goods too, you should be able to make a decent income off that business.

*Glances at bank balance* yes this is possible I mine all my own steel and aluminum and put them up on the bazaar at 20k a shot they usually sell out within 24 hours. I do not religiously do this everyday as I do like to use my harvestors on ocassion for my other two professions AS/WS but sadly my 64 points in artisian has been putting those two to shame post CU.

Hello there,

I am not a crafter/artisan/merchant type.

I do, however, lose on average 10-15 swoops per 3 gaming sessions (call me reckless, or unlucky). I try to locate merchants that sell swoops by the crates... 25 swooop minimum.

On Lowca, at least... it's hard to do. So if you do make swoops I humbly suggest by the crate. I know you'd make a lot off of me...

Stay safe,

Hi All

I would just like to add that at times it is difficult to find boxes of 5 swoops due to demand. I buy swoops or speeder bikes a lot. I lose one or two a week. The swoops or bikes get shot out from under me all the time. I would also think Barc repair kits are a good investment for crafters to make.

Cheers

Phase 4 of the village is the best time to sell vehicles due to the sith attacking the village constatnly, thus destroying them by the dozens. I think the swoop industry took a big hit with the introduction of barcs however,

I put the new vehicles on the bazaar for 20k a piece. I made 200k the first day I did this. Profit wise though it was only around 80k. My harvesters are up and running now though so that will change.
