I look sometimes for a special find.
I have found a few decent weaponsmithing things on there for cheap.

I use it all the time to sell looted clothing for cheap. Its a great way to advertise our City Mall. I also sell some of the lower end clothing for new players cause I remember how much I hated the newbie clothes

Yes.
I sell ship parts, and I buy whatever's on the terminal that's at a good price, and is something I "need". Lately that's mostly been exo protein, but I usually browse the bazaar when waiting for my friends to show up.
The 6k limit is limiting however. I sell all the ship parts of level 1-6 at the bazaar, and all above that (except for 10's) to the chassis broker. If I could get as much on the bazaar I would gladly put them there. I will not sell for less than I can get.

Yes or no.
If you do use it than what do you use it for?
If you do not use it than why not?
My answer: Yes I use it. I like to hunt for bargains like cheap small houses to resell or for rare loot in the misc. general items. I also dump my old low value junk there like a virtual garage sale or Goodwill.
Yup i use them all the time

I constantly use the bazaar, mostly in Coronet and Theed, although I use the'Entire Galaxy' filter just in case there's a good deal worth a quick JTL flight for.
It's an excellent source for resource deals if you're a careful shopper, plus I also buy a fair amount of backpacks, powerups, spices, and generic items there.

I use it everyday to buy HIDES and BONE...everytime i am waiting on a shuttle i look these items up.....on Bria i know of very few stationary vendors that sell these 2 things........the prices are good if you look for the ones who sell there all the time.....but alot of times you come accross crazy prices on hides like 20units for 6000 credits......or like 3units for 4000credits....those sales crack me up

I posted the same question on the Kettemoor forum and am getting about the same reaction there. The great majority of people responding use the bazaar.
Interesting.

It's wonderful under used tool I think. I always check the bazaar first nothign worse then hauling your butt out to vendor and seeing it's not got the thing you're lookingfor.
Plus I don't spam in Cnet and Theed can't stand it. This is my way of getting the word out on my vendors. I sell silly stuff like crafting tools and the like. Nothing really major but things people willuse occasionally.

I use it to hunt for bargains.
There's an awful lot of stuff that people will sell for 6k that I can turn around and resell for 12-25k.
Then there was this one time that I bought an Orange Rug Adhesive for 6k...

when i log in, the first thing i do: is to check the bazaar, despite any lovely young women standing naked besides me, i will go throu the entire bazaar list under "Misc" Galaxy search 
the amount of bargens i have found is too long to write here, some things ala: a bag with 20 sharnaff armor plates (gave it to an novice armor smith in my town to help him a bit) tons of themepark schematics - from Apron to Leotard, several DXR 6 aswell.
to the 5 (Five) Rug adhersivs.
Basicly i use the bazaar to dertime my loot prices aswell, forinstance, the han solo and luke wanted poster, only an fool on farstar would sell it for anything higher then 6k since the bazaar is more then full with the posters 1K-6K prices, also the new posters, BIO/RIS/Cargo/Party - 6k instant sale, not worth anything ells, and it's ok for adds, i have an alderan flora add on the bazaar myself, helps now and then.
Before i log off (depending on the time of the day, usaly around 10PM where many log off aswell) tons of loot to be checked

I use it almost everyday I am online.
It is a lot easier to find a lot of Stuff then to try to find a good player mall only to arrive there and find the vendors are not stocked.
