same here, its not uncommon that i earn over 4 mio with food during one day now...

only problem is that i need to get more facs to keep my vendors all time stocked now

I've noticed my sales go up slightly, but I have just reduced some of my prices. I have a single location that is in a highly competitive area so don't expect that I will increase much in sales unless its a widespread increase in purchasing.

Just wondering if any other server has a City dedicated to shopping? (I mean dedicated not just a city that has malls...)

Ive been getting more from Commerce City than I used to from my Coronet store...but then Coronet is dead now.

A few weeks ago when Commerce opened I was getting about 1m per day with 1.5m at w/es.

Recently nearer 6-750k a day, but Saga has lowered his prices (I really don't fancy getting into a price war, but I've had to lower mine too)

I think my bumper days avg around 2.5mill

The most dissapointing point for me is that I get people buying a lot of stuff, but not a large number of unique customers (Is this the market in general, or is it just me?)...also repeat custom hasn't started yet with just a handful coming back so far. I can't help feeling that people aren't shopping due to a lack of knowledge of my shop rather than quality/price issues.

I have had no problems keeping it stocked, except a recent Bespin Port shortage, so I am thinking of opening another branch. I feel I could support much more in sales, particularly as I have just doubled my factories...Just need the market to follow. (Oh and I could do with some Art Exp tapes too)

I run a fairly small operation. I make all the more popular foods, and I make em in 10 crates per run. Before pub 20 that was enough to keep my vendors fully stocked for a week plus. At 75k a crate for food/drink with light additives 80k for medium's and 90k+ for all others I have sol damn near 8 mil worth of stock since tuesday. I was just wondering, is this a good week or do you think everyone knows about the stacking now?

And now you may have an understanding of food pricing. Now that people have discovered your vendors, get ready to craft 24/7 or have empty vendors at those prices. I do understand why some people want to keep their prices so low, but I like to enjoy other aspects of the game as well rather than chaining myself to a factory.

A good price would be one that allows you to keep a stocked vendor whilst having a decent amount of trade.

For me that means foods start at 100k and go up to about 175k, with drinks at 100k - 300k.

There is no way I would sell food/drink for 75k because it is not worth my time...it's not that I would not be making a profit, its that I would be selling too fast, and spending all my time restocking.

Exactly the same here Lloyd mate. Also don't like the idea of getting into a price war especially with SAGA who has the financial backing to take a short term loss if he needed. CC hasn't been the big thing others thought it may be. Maybe just tim is needed, but I fear that SWG shoopers are inherently lazy. Price and Quality don't make them come. Convenience/Location works because the difference in foods and cost is marginaly now.

Yeah...Commerce City hasn't been what a lot of us expected...but I don't think thats down to the custom, I just think there are possibly too many Chefs about. Theres 7 of us in 300m isn't there? Dr Mo (who has quit just recently), Saga has lowered prices, you, Clancy and I are also sharing part of the same pie (forgive the pun )

I personally never expected Commerce City to catapult me to a massive level of income, but I was expecting 2-3mill per day in sales.

I also don't know how many people know about Commerce City except forum trolls...there is a rather large section of players who never visit the forums...I know from my own city that their are loads who don't use the forums. I think the hardest part about SWG for a crafter is getting people to come into your shop...

What planet is this place on?

I'd imagine that's why then. It's just my opinion, but no matter how good a city is, it won't get enough exposure unless it's on tat, naboo, dantooine, and possibly corellia.
