No, I am not overcharging- I shop my competitors and price accordingly. I am not just talking about brandy sales.

Wow -I have not had a sale in 3 days and my prices are competitive on most stuff, it looks like my brandy prices need to come down some, but otherwise my prices on food arethe same or lower than chefs on my server (short of the holo-grinders and undercutters).

Mine have slowed, but then again the shuttle right near my cantina just went poof.

I've noticed a slight drop in sales, but I think it's probably because my buyers are like me, and buy in bulk every few months, instead of buying a little at a time. I have taken the time to start re-adjusting prices on some items so I can move more stock.

As a buyer, I think DrummerBoy is spot on. I bought two crates of each stat when Enhance Stims of over 915 popped on the market. They are going to last me a long time, as I only buff Guildies, friends and my Alt. Similarly, when Vasarian Brandy went over 430, I bought several crates. Rakkririan Burnout Sauce, Bivoli Tempari, Citros Snow Cake etc. etc. the same. I think I dipped out on the Citros though as it doesn't appear to be working.

PVP has seemed to have declined severly on my two main servers(Starsider & Wanderhome), could be the reason why sales have dropped off.
-Not a Chef just giving you a possible reason.

I've noticed the sales on Naritus have been a bit slow the last week as well. My vendors went empty for a little bit unfortunately due to ISP problems keeping me out of game though, so I might have just lost my customer base due to low stocks for a little while.

Did you happen to take into consideration the fact that the revamp was just abouta month ago and now things are finally calming down and possibly resettling into the norm? I have noticed through not my shop but in players generally that they have finnaly gotten a decent feel as to what is out there and are buying the foods that best suit thir needs. Others are interested in what else isavailable since Vasarian is so good.. In my opinion, now is the time to (againor start if you haven't done so before)stock variety.. You know,more than the usual high sellers that have been taking place over the past couple of weeks. Yes, evaluating your pricing is something toconsider if you find that it is something you need to do,or if you lost touch with your customer base, try to rekindle that. A bit of advertising doesn't hurt every now and then either. There are new players out there and also players that are nowable to take more difficult assignments andthey nowhave the credits to spend on things like food.
I haven't attained mastery yet, but being a chef is something I'm looknig forward to doing for a while once I'm settled in a bit into where I'm going to get my resources from and when I'm going to craft.
