This will be a somewhat fun kind of thread. Share what you will be doing with your meds.
A. Distroying them before the CU.
There is a bit of satisfaction regarding distroying something you have worked on for many many hours. It brings a since of closure. When I finished my PhD thesis I took all the drafts and tossed them in the dumpster. That act felt better than getting my deploma, job, or anything else.
B. Hold on to them and see what ya get.
One thought is that what you will get will be as valuable if not more so. It is a gamble. It could turn out that the new meds made via conversion of old meds have higher stats than those that can be crafted under the CU. This would make them rare like "pre nerf ubese shirt" or "pre nerf T21's" etc. Also, if you convert enough of them you may not need to by anything from a BE for a very long time.
Of course there is the gamble that what you get will be junk.
C. Convert them to cash before the CU.
The currency is not changing. So money will be money. It would allow you the flexability to buy post CU items that you may want. Jump start you into a new prof or help you buy the new meds you may want. Or help you buy resouces, etc.
D. Grind them into FS exp.
Currently a doc on leave can buff a Combatant or SP without delay (all 6 stats in 1 sec). Couple this with the ability of a pet to be called from a tool bar and that a pet looses its buff when stored. The result is the fasted med exp grind in the game. You can cap inless than 30seconds. A great way to use up those less than high end buffs that were made unsellable after the resouce kits came out.
I have not seen any post suggesting that the lack of a delay is not intentional and yes, I have asked. I even /buged it but got no reply. I suspect it is not worth thier time to mess with it regardless if it intended or not. If I find out anything I will let ya know. If anyone knows for sure please let me know.
So, what will you be doing with your meds?

I dont plan on making any large runs of stuff, just enough to get by, unless we get a more definite answer as to how they are going to be converted.
Definitely will not destroy anything.
Will see if anyone in my guild is going to pickup the BE crafting and give them the resources I have stored up.

Unfortunately, I lost 80 sets of my 944 power buffs this weekend on a vendor bug 
But I have crates of buffs, stims, wound heals, etc. that I am holding on to, along with my 100+ mil stock of resources. I saw no reason to sell all my stuff off at a loss before, and I still don't, I'll wait and have it converted into appropriate items post-CU.
I'll be happy as long as xxx4 BE uses Avian meat, etc.

I'm not sure here, some are better on Test, I think I was able to make a Solid Delivery Device at 74 power. And that's the unadvanced ones...
The Class 4 on test has like 74OQ so advanced BECs are worst than normal Becs.
Buffs I'm going to keep and let them be converted. As well as Stims and Wound packs. Unless we see something bad in the Conversion Doc yet to come.

I'll be a buffing fool to use up all the buffs I purchased in the last year - I might save a crate or two and see how they convert but I'd rather have the credits than the pre-nerf buffs.

I will take my chances and hold on to them....I see no reason to delete or sell them. Dunno what I will do with my resources though.

Of course, I like option 4 
Then again, I also expect that I will ride through the conversion with quite a few meds and will have to evaluate them once the conversion is done. I also expect that I will be giving the new pharmaceuticals business a try so all my resources will hopefully be useful in that endeavor (avian is about all I am worried about though).

Still selling stim B's and D's as fast as I can make them, and still harvesting quality resources as well. Wish I knew how the meats were going to apply to craftables.

All I got now, besides what's on my doc right now, is just the resources. I am ready for anything at this point. Mainly worried about my AS. He supports my MD so I could do all the fun stuff without worry.....

C. Convert them to cash before the CU.
I'm sitting on my resources (and still mining good ones) to see what happens after the CU

Ah negatory there Pig Pen...

I'll be holding onto some of my resources for certain...
C. Convert them to cash before the CU.
Sort of. I'm finishing off my buff pack runs and offering them at a slight discount before the CU. If they sell, great. If they don't, then I'll hold them to see what the tooth (CU) fairy converts them too with the wave of her magic wand...
D. Grind them into FS exp.
See C. above...
So, what will you be doing with your meds?
Of course I could offer them on ebay too, just to be obnoxious...(NOT!)

Sorry, its impossible for me to turn them to cash, I even talked to some CSR's (three) about this.
This makes me rather mad, especially after contacting CSR's about it. I got another acount so that I could craft, and like many others, I spent millions (54) my entire fortune that I took the entire last year to get, and now they are nerfing the proffesion making my clothing worthless, I am trying to sell it on our galaxy trade forum, and for less then 1M a point min bid, not one peice has an offer after two days, I am going to lose everything, and SOE is going to lose two more accounts in addition to the hundreds (maybe thousands) of other doctor crafters.

I'll just take my meds and crawl into a dark corner where I will never be heard from again.
